Son of WWE Legend The Loose Cannon Brian Pillman who shares his father’s name recently had his first wrestling match. Although Pillman, Jr. is young in the business he speaks like a seasoned pro with an old soul and a complete respect for the business. Although it might make some traditionalists squirm with him speaking opening about “taking care of” him in the ring he certainly sounds like the real deal and I can’t wait to see what he’ll do given his genes.

But Brian Pillman, Jr. took it even further on Instagram where he unloaded with an emotional message about how much the moment of his in-ring debut meant to him.

It was really great to see and refreshing as well to hear someone so dedicated and understanding of the respect pro wrestling deserves. I can only imagine Brian Pillman Jr. is a guy William Regal might be paying attention to because he could be a good fit for NXT sooner or later.

In his message he posted a really great photo of himself after his first match with the following caption:

“While I am normally a man of many words, I just don’t know how I could sum up the way last night made me feel using only text.

So here is a picture. Maybe it’s worth a thousand words, maybe it’s worth more, maybe less… But whatever you take from it just know that the way I felt in this photo is the most alive I’ve ever felt in my entire life.

I’ve received a lot of attention and congratulations after news broke of my independent debut and I am blown away by the love from ALL of you!

Just this once though, I ask YOU for a favor. Whether it’s a comment on instagram, a direct message, or a tweet I don’t want it sent straight to me. I want you to type it all out just as you normally would but this time before you hit that send button I want you to send it to Brian Pillman.
Not Brian Pillman Jr., not Brian Pillman II, no I mean BIG BRIAN! Brian Pillman Sr., The Hollywood Blond Brian Pillman. The Loose Cannon… My FATHER!

Whether it’s a prayer, a mental note, or just a written letter I want you to send it up above and let him know how you feel. How you feel about what he left behind for you, for me, for us, his LEGACY. Because had he not given every ounce of life force that he had for this world, had he not made every heartbeat count then I certainly wouldn’t be here today and of course professional wrestling just wouldn’t be the same as we all know and love it.

THANK YOU everyone for reaching out to him and
THANK YOU to Scott Romer for capturing this moment
THANK YOU dad for this amazing gift called PRO WRESTLING!!!”

Let’s hope he keeps it up because I’ve yet to see him actually work yet and I’m already a fan just due to the passion and sacred outlook he has for the pro wrestling business.
