His work is "I don't wanna be like my dead father" meanwhile he keeps going closer and closer to the point he won't be in denial anymore and become a loose cannon
While being in AEW they were clearly ripping off his dad and stone colds Hollywood Blonds team. Now in WWE they’re just ripping off the loose cannon gimmick.
Not just tag team partner. Austin still considers Pillman the closest friend he ever made in the business. The gold chain that Austin wore that was on so many posters….a gift from Brian Sr, and Steve’s on-screen tribute to him.
Hollywood Blonds (Austin/Pillman incarnation) were a Hell of a tag team. Pillman's ankle was totally shattered in that wreck, and a week in a coma. A truly gruesome injury, and he kept wrestling on it. Must have been on an insane amount of painkillers towards the end.
I feel for the guy, my dad died when I was two. I can only imagine what it would of been like getting to know my dad by watching old stuff of him on tv and being told who he was by the public

@CVVCLIPS this is one of the best interviews you have done. I have seen a young Lexis King/ Brian Pillman Jr. in a small indie show in Indianapolis, Indiana. Lexis King will be the future. You can tell right away he was destined for greatness. I support you Chris, and all you do. Thank you
@@VulgarBeyondSteel sometimes a son doesn't look all that much like one of their parents. In this case, he's the spitting image of his dad when he was in his early 20s.
@@keaton_jb_meme_central as an all around performer he was better as Flyin Brian, the loose cannon was basically a broken man. Yeah he was edgier and funny, but as a face he was just as compelling.
Was fortunate enough to have a drink (or 5) Brian Pillman Jr a with cpl years ago at the Squared Circle Expo. What an incredibly humble & nice human being. Its always a nice thing seeing good things happen for good people.
I mean for having such little personal interaction with his dad, wow. I appreciate is he is both playing off of that while doing his own thing at the same time which is a fairly tricky line to walk. For sure one of my Tuesday night highlights.
@@CaughtLine-sl2oz I also share DNA with my dad and I don't resemble him to the degree that Brian Pillman Jr. resembles his dad. It's almost as if everyone's DNA is different and some people resemble their parents more than other people and you shouldn't be a condescending prick on the internet to strangers unless you're a huge loser. 🤯
I don't know what's worse. Being so young when your dad passes away that you don't know him (his case) or living in the same house with your dad for 13 years before he passes away but you didn't get to know him in that time because he was so quiet & too involved with the damn television (my case).
I would say his case because all he has is people telling him how his dad was he never got to formulate his own opinion but obviously each situation isn't great and you it shouldn't be compared
I think his situation is far worse. He was very little when his dad died. At least I got to know my dad & was able to have a very close bond with him until he passed away last August.
So true. But he still had him for the first 4-5 years of his life. I'm guessing that the gruelling road schedule back then kept Brian from being home for very long.
There will never be another Brian Pillman. He was one of a kind and definitely my favorite wrestler ever. I hope his son does well just because but he doesn't have that inner fire that his dad did, very few ever have.
I think Brian Pillman would've been a huge star, that look and promo skills, the Loose Cannon gimmick. I remember having a WCW bend em style "Flyin" Bryan Pillman action figure in his Bengal orange and black trunks in the early 90's as a kid. 😀
wwe in his debut alone treated him way better than his entire run in aew, too bad tony khan is more interested in marking out over every free agent to add to his roster instead of developing the already existing talent
I recently started watching old ECW not too long ago. I am more wanting to see old RVD matches but they have been featuring Brian Pillman alot and it's just such a tragedy his life ended so soon. The dude was an absolute entertainer, when he comes on the screen shit is hitting the fan and it's awesome. I never realized this guy was his son tho, I didn't think he had any kids. RIP Loose Cannon, everytime you are on I enjoy every second of it 💯
Uncle's should step up and be allowed to step up when the father passes away or is absent not having a strong male figure around can easily lead children and young men and women astray .
I know my dad, and to this day I wonder why my grandmother who showed me nothing but love passed away due to Covid and this ungrateful mf is still breathing. Sometimes knowing your dad isn't good. Look at YOURSELF look at YOU. Be proud of what you have done without him
OMG i clicked on this just for the side by side picture. One thing is 4 sho, this boy daddy would not be able to go to Maury & deny his son if he were still alive. Maury would say stop wasting his time, no DNA test needed...
He respects his father, you can tell. But I wouldn't say he loved his father. Because how do you love a man you barely knew? Are you obligated to love him just because he's your father? These are all great questions with really vague answers, because there's not really a straight answer.
There’s always a sad moment when you don’t get to know your own parent(s). The very people who brought you here on this ratchet place called earth. That’s for anybody.
@@larry0483 not really. Dirty Dominic mysterio heel gimmick is what got him over. Dom started to lose momentum immidietly after his debut as his dads tag partner.
I would suspect he himself doesnt want to use his fathers name to cash in. It's extremely awkward to cash in and perform under venue of expectations to a dad's legacy who he barely got to know.
I agree Don heel turn was what made him popular but he did start off with his dad and family story line. Not to insult wrestlers fave the carni mentality of make money and entertain and you use whatever means to achieve it

Funny thing is he looks more like Loose Cannon Pillman right now than he did when he was Pillman Jr. Definitely looking like a star.

Even though he never really knew him, you can tell he still has so much respect for his father. It's great to see
Bring Lexus King to the Broken Skull podcast hosted by Stone Cold Steve Austin former tag team partner of Brian Pillman on the show please
That would be incredible, and very appropriate 💯

No because SCSA would snap on his ass...

INTERLEXUAL
Lexual King
If there were a movie about Brian Pillman, Lexis would be the perfect casting choice.
Got the grunge look. He needed some Chucks to match it. Cool interview though. So glad he ditched the mullet. He's gonna be a star.
Great chat
I just hope the apple does fall far from the tree in his case.
He looks like a total reincarnation of his father right down to his voice.
It's spooky I look at him and I see Brian Sr circa 96
His father was a badass.
He should put a Lil bit of his dad loose cannon character with his own. Pillman Sr was gold on screen
Damn he looks so much like his father
He look just like him
I'm so glad Pillman Jr escaped AEW and made it to WWE. Great career move.
Lexis King could be the next Edge, I’m definitely getting egocentric rockstar vibes from his new gimmick persona.
I remember watching his dad in stampede wresting.
Ok I have a crush on Lexis King
Pillmam senior was always wearing Nirvana shirts.
I know my dad, and to this day I wonder why my grandmother who showed me nothing but love passed away due to Covid and this ungrateful mf is still breathing. Sometimes knowing your dad isn't good. Look at YOURSELF look at YOU. Be proud of what you have done without him

Enough with this guy slandering his father at this point honestly. I'm sick of it.
