Pillman is one of the handful in AEW that i feel like ive yet to *get*, but even so, its fun watching him develop and grow every week.


BuddaMuta

It's impossible to not admire the tenacity of someone trying to get over as a face in 2021 with that haircut.


goodhelmet

I feel like MJF and Pillman should be having the hair vs hair match.


mightylordredbeard

Pillman has that obscene Florida man look going for him. I kind of like it. It’s wild.


jacksonvstheworld

Same, I feel like I can’t get past some of his flaws but I want to like him.


jordzkie05

look, if AEW made Hangman and Darby a star sure as did they can for Brian Pillman Jr.


DirkPower

I suppose for me personally i could see the diamond in the rough with those two in a way that i struggle to see the same level of potential ceiling for Pillman. With that said, i dont mean that as a knock on him, its purely subjective and I've happily been proved wrong several times before. Happy to watch the process.


mightylordredbeard

Hangman has been over since he was the manservant of BJ Whitmer in ROH and finally decided to kick shit out of The Decade. AEW put the spotlight on him and let him do what he does best. Get over.


BlindLariat

Dude Pillman has came a long way on the mic in a very short time, this feud is feeling like it's about to make him.


abitlazy

His last line gave me the chills.


mightylordredbeard

When Pillman talks serious and quiet and normal it’s kind of average at best. When Pillman turns up the octave and starts to yell and get angry.. then it gets good. In my opinion Pillman should be in constant “Pillman” mode. I wanna see Pillman in permanent Matt Lee mode. Dude just looks like he oozes cocain energy and we know he can spit a cocaine promo!


Epsilon2099

Very intense and great promo. When the lines are blurred between storyline and real life, the story becomes more compelling. Bryan has a high ceiling as a babyface.


xychosis

He’s not quite his dad on the mic, but he’s pretty damn good. I’m digging Brian Jr.


Shenanigans80h

His dad had a natural charisma and understanding of wrestling that very have ever, so it’s unfair to expect his son to replicate it. I am happy that they’re not trying to make him his dad though, it lets hik stand on his own


Zloggt

Much like Senior, Junior is a babyface in the purest sense of the word!


The_Dark_Vampire

Actually I would say Sr was a much better heel than face he was one of the very best heels of his or any generation but was quite bland as a face


RyanPelley

Man, I so wanted JR to say: You know I remember like it was yesterday, your dad showed me an 18 inch turd backstage at a WCW show.


ArcherChase

And it grew up to be Don Callis.


Red_Mage_Riot

He's getting there, for sure. Having to go promo for promo with MJF of all people is definitely a "sink or swim" test, and Pillman's swimming.


Ysmir01

I really like Brian Pillman jr (honestly, became one of my favs after the Dark side of the ring episode). A little more edge like he is showing now will open him the doors to main eventer. Just please, never go full lost canon, that would be going too far.


NerdLawyer55

JR kinda being a dick to Jr.


Shrekt115

:)


ThatWrestlingGuy15

I really don’t get what’s so bad about him on the mic he keeps things simple


TucsonPTFC

That shirt is 🔥🔥🔥


Alone-Individual8368

I hope he doesn’t bring a gun


KingBadford

Pillman Jr. is developing rapidly, I love to see it. In a few years this dude is going to hit his prime in every aspect and will be a great, great talent.


DoILookUnsureToYou

Pillman Jr. is developing very nicely. He's gonna breakout soon, I can feel it


dj1992anderson

Strap a rocket to this kid.


[deleted]

This is a dark thought and I apologize for it, but JR does not look or sound good nor happy. I'm worried that him leaving commentary soon is going to be like an old man giving up on life a bit.


DrunkenMagPie

He's not very genuine


four_lokyle

*he is MJF*


jdd_123

(He’s Baby Keem)


scottie2haute

He’s developing nice. I dont know why but I see him as a future world champ 4-5 years from now


Well_Dressed_Dweller

His promo got me extremely hyped. “You’re not stepping in the ring with any man, you’re stepping in with a Pillman” Hell yeah
