The time when Pillman was around I was really young and after listening to the podcast its made me really feel like I missed out on something really good as I had never known how Pillman's character had developed from WCW/ECW/WWE...truly he was a true genius to play the industry on the reality based and ground hitting character development which made wrestling exciting. - RIP Pillman. I think this episode provided an amazing insight to a highly underrated superstar.

I was a teenager at that time when Pillman was over as big as anyone ever. You have to remember too back in 1996 the Internet was brand new to us and nothing like it is now. Hardly anyone knew about the dirtsheets or was familiar with the lingo behind the scenes like now but we knew something didn’t seem right with Pillman and with how his matches were going and what angles he was in.

@@rustykuntz94 lawyers will purposely send you to a doctor they know to play up an injury to get a bigger settlement.(auto accident specifically)The doctor will usually prescribe regular amounts of opiates and muscle relaxers to help document all the pain and suffering you’ve been thru. Unfortunately, I know two people that became full blow drug addicts because of this. One was my friends sister who eventually ended up on heroine and was “dancing” to afford her habit. She got so bad that she got fired from a strip club that was notorious for how far the girls would go to earn your cash because she was undercutting the other girls. She figured out that she could get way more volume charging a little less but doing anything you want. Then guys started bitching “you want x amount for a handjob? Denise charged half that for a full bj or the same for sex” and she got canned. Eventually she went to rehab and got clean tho

Brian Pillman was a one of a kind talent that would have made many great moments had he not passed away so early in life. I actually love the interaction between Conrad and Bruce. Conrad represents the average Joe wrestling fan who wants to either confirm or dismiss the rumors and conspiracy theories we all have heard along the way. Conrad has an upper hand in that he has been blessed to peek and even walk behind the wrestling curtain. I love Bruce's approach and I admire his loyalty. Bruce's lifelong walk in the wrestling industry is unbelievable and I tune in for the privilege to just pick his head on all the moments

I was 15 at that point and I loved that episode! If you listen at the end of the show Pillman says “fuck” twice with one of them being “I’m gonna fucking kill him” while stood up pointing the gun. But American audiences are more easily offended and American TV is much more censored than English TV (I might be English but I have American family and I’ve been to America loads of times and lived there for 2yrs to help my cousin get his business up and running as we’re both in the same business. So I’ve seen a lot of American cable TV)

In a perfect world Brian Pillman didn’t have the ankle injury and since he had signed a 3yr contract in 96 (taking him to at least 99) can you imagine how great WWF would have been if Pillman didn’t die (WWF was already great then but it would have been out of this world). In 93 who would have thought that the Hollywood Blondes would have the wrestling world in their hands 3yr later with everyone talking about their Stone Cold & Loose Cannon gimmicks 2 great personas created by themselves. If Brian had never had died the Attitude Era would have so good with Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Loose Cannon Brian Pillman & finally The Rock. Not to mention DX with an up and coming Triple H and so many more throughout the card, who knows maybe Owen Hart could have been tagged with Pillman in 99 when they didn’t know what to do Owen anymore, so no Blue Blazer and no Owen falling to his death. But that’s a perfect world and we don’t live in a perfect world

This was a good topic that needed to be discussed. It felt like to me Vince was covering his ass with the interview with Melanie. I mean he flat out said it was drugs that caused Brian's death not realizing it was a condition that was in my family. His son Brian Jr just got into the wrestling business. He works for Major League Wrestling as 1/3 of the Next Generation Hart Foundation with David Hart Smith and Teddy Hart. Brian was a character that meant a lot to the wrestlers and his fans in the short time he was able to perform. He left us way too soon. I am on Conrad's side, Vince was saving his own ass cause he caused the media to say it was possibly drugs that caused his death.

Usually you mix Soma which relaxes your muscles, pain killers which slows heart rate and drops blood pressure, and xanax which slows heart and drops blood pressure to only xans when mixed with pain pills or not can make you go to sleep. You don't have to be a genius to know heart slows, blood pressure drops, your breathing slows, you fall asleep, and a muscle relaxer relaxes every muscle including heart and lungs, that's a recipe for disaster. I know I have mixed them alot, and have had family and friends die from the same mixtures.

If this was the first Conrad interview I ever heard, I would have never ever listened to the rest. I've listened to almost all of them and this is one of the Prime examples of Conrad being not only wrong but pushing during a sensitive subject. Conrad wasn't there and doesn't even realize the bulshit he's pulling towards Bruce exact same sort of exploitation. It was traumatic for Bruce to talk about that death obviously, but look at Conrad doing equivalent of zooming the camera in. Conrad's just a kid and I wonder if he's ever been in a situation to make any sort of decision like that. Pisses me off the his cocky attitude about situations regarding death, when he wasn't there. This is garbage interviewing, particularly when he says the phrase it's worth bringing up. It's worth it to who? And why are you going to say it seven times in one interview

A self-hating mark. Adorable. Meltzer knows more than both of us, kiddo. He's closer to the industry than both of us, you have no reason to believe Meltzer nor Bruce - you do so because you want to. Because you're a mark for bruce. A self-hating mark.

A heart attack is sometimes interchangeably listed as the cause of death during an overdose situation. It depends on the person doing the autopsy because during an overdose the person goes into respiratory failure which leads to extreme hypoxia leading to cardiac arrest. Had he not had the legal prescriptions this coroner very well may have given “Cardiac Arrest Secondary to Opioid Overdose” as the cause of death. Its a “potatoe vs potato” situation.

That being said considering the fact that they stated it was natural causes due to heart disease this would mean Pillman probably had a predisposition to heart disease given his father’s history factor in his use of all types of drugs combined with drinking over the years and his occupational history and it makes a lot of sense why a young man of 35 died from this disease. Previous use of HGH and steroids would do significant damage to a diseased heart and would not require him to be currently using in order to fatally suffer the cardiac arrest at that time.

Soma wasn't just big in wrestling. It was just big in the 90s and early 2000s. With the interview a 35 year old in good athlete is why when there are pill bottles around that's why officials told Vince a possible overdose. And go look at Nancy Grace after Warrior said that's why they want people to know the truth.
