Brian Pillman recently spoke to Kevin Kellam of Wrestlezone regarding his place in the business and more. Check out highlights below.

What He Brings To The Table:

 "It’s weird because I’ve always thought of myself as a star, growing up in high school and in football, college, stuff like that. I’ve always been a pretty popular guy with the people, so I think just being the best version of myself is what’s going to pay off in the long run. It took me about a year of digesting this business to really understand my father’s contributions and understand his influences, and what I can nod to and take from and what I need to stay away from. As we know, my father was recognized for his innovative high-flying, but in today’s world that’s extremely hard to overcome, that level of athleticism of the high-flyers today. That might be something that might prove to be dangerous only one year into the business, to try and compete with guys like Will Ospreay and Ricochet, or the like. As far as the story of who I am and where I’m coming from, it’s 100% natural. It’s 100% the real, true story of a kid who lost everything, and is following in his father’s footsteps. It’s picking back up the pieces, and really I’m just falling in love with wrestling. My creativity has always been very natural, so I’ve never fallen short of ideas of how I can propel myself and how I can be creative and utilize other ideas from wrestlers, both past and present. It’s not limited to, but including my father’s work for inspiration, but also offering unique star power, unique charisma, unique talents to the business today that I, Brian Pillman Jr, have built for myself."
