It's a shame he had his accident. i wonder how the whole loose cannon gimmick would have played out had he been fully healthy and able to run with it 100%. What a time to be a wrestling fan. Makes me miss WCW, ECW, and WWF even more.

I was really saddened by it, I remember watching Pillman here, he carried Bruce's tired old ridiculous looking ginnick. The matching of the Hollywood Blondes was really awesome to see.
Melanie really did come out looking like a cold hearted piece of work in this thing, and that's the saddest thing of all. The loose cannon gimmick was based on a book called the Big Con, I forget the author.
I don't know if it would work as well with the smart marks and internet today.
