As I said last year when it was suggested that Pillmans death was a work I will
say again that I'd be disgusted and it might even drive me to watch WCW if I
decide I don't want to give up wrestling all together. If it was a work, even
though deep down I don't believe it was, it cheapens the 10 bell salute that
they gave to Owen last week.

Again, I'm with you Shirl. Though I would love it if Brian were still alive
(and Owen, too for that matter), I am hoping that the WWF would not be so
foolish as to do this NOW. But then again, wrestling is, for all intents and
purposes, a soap opera, and "dead" characters come back all the time.

I know they do, Charmayne. And since they've showed so much concerning Owen's
funeral I just get this sick feeling in my stomach. I never saw on CNN or
other sources about Pillman's death, although I believe people here have posted
that the have, add the fact that the WWF never showed anything concerning
Pillman's funeral plus probably watching a few too many soap operas over the
years...I just get a bad feeling.
I'm not claiming that it is and act, deep down I don't think it is, and even
more so I hope to God that it's not because even though I would love for both
men (Pillman and Hart) to still be alive..this would have been that step too
far that would put me over the edge as far as defending ANYTHING the WWF does.

1. I'm not the one that came up with this idea. Someone on here mentioned it
and I started thinking about the possibilities.
2. I was talking about Brian not Owen and I didn't see the info concerning his
death in the main stream press as we all did Owen's. If it was there, then
yes, I'd believe without a doubt that he was gone.
3. I agree with it not being likely, it was just a what if? type of post in my
mind.
CNN did run a small story on it, but the most obvious reason why we didn't see
a tribute like Owen's for Brian is for two main reasons:
1) Brian had only been in the WWF for a year or so. Even though he was a
fellow wrestler, there wasn't much they could do in the way of a tribute show
for someone who had only been in their federation for that amount of time.
2) The BIGGEST reason IMO, was that Owen died because of an accident that
occured in the ring, in front of an audience. Brian died away from any
audience, and people (not just wrestlers) die the way he did quite often. Not
many people, much less wrestlers, die like Owen did. Not to say that Brian
dying was less important, but the whole shock value is more with something like
what happened with Owen.
I'm hoping that Brian is resting peacefully in that big wrestling ring in the
sky and not just hiding away to have been part of this bigger angle spawned by
Vince McMahon.

I agree with your reasoning in things above. And we agree on the final point
to, that we both hope that this isn't all just a work put on by the WWF.

I know what you mean Shirl. I'm praying that Vince is not that stupid. But
I'm having my doubts. I, personality, didn't find anything wrong with the
funeral footage that Vince showed on the last Raw, but if the Harts are
truthful in saying that Martha requested that Vince not show any bit of it on
his show, then that is a serious lack of judgement on Vince's part. Vince
doesn't need to draw anymore heat from the Harts right now. If he's planning
to bring Brian Pillman back from the "dead," God only knows what the media
would do with it. Although, I must admit, I'm getting kinda excited about it.
What if it's true? I mean, Brian was suffering from serious injuries that
hadn't had a chance to fully heal when he died. What if that's why he
"disappeared?" But then again, Melanie Pillman has since remarried. How could
she do that if Brian was still alive? Unless, of course, they got a hush-hush
divorce.... Oh, man, this is better than Days Of Our Lives! It wouldn't be so
bad if Vince didn't do it now. Maybe at the end of the summer, but not NOW.
