TRIBUTE TO BRIAN PILLMAN

May 22, 1961 – October 5, 1994

I just want to say that Brian Pillman was a great wrestler and a great guy. He spent his last days entertaining us and putting smiles on our faces.

I was thinking about Owen’s death and Brian’s death and I realized something. Owen Hart died the day after Brian Pillman’s birthday. Owen died at a pay-per-view. And Brian died the day before a pay-per-view. And before both of these wrestlers died there was suppose to be a big angle. Also, they both died the day before they were coming to St. Louis. Is St. Louis cursed or something?

Brian Pillman’s death was hard for many. Especially the Hart family. Brian was like part of the family.

Here is a quote from Bret Hart, which I think is very touching.

“The next time someone asks you why you watch wrestling cause that stuff isn’t real, those guys don’t get hurt, do me a favor. Tell them those guys do get hurt and sometimes they die out there. Brian never got to call home last Sunday, so he went to sleep not knowing that his wife, Melanie, was pregnant. They say that for every door God closes he opens a window. Brian is flying with the angels now. Good bye brother. Leave the passes at the gate.”

Everytime I read that I cry. Sometimes it’s hard to believe that he’s gone. Like it’s one big dream and I’m waiting to wake up. But I never do.

I dedicated two songs to all the wrestlers that died. Including Andre The Giant, Brian Pillman, Rick Rude, and Owen Hart. Here are the songs and the words.

One Sweet Day

Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men

Sorry I never told you,

All I wanted to say.

And now it’s too late to hold you.

Cause you’ve flown away,

So far away…

Never had I imagined

Living without your smile.

Feeling and know when your here with me

It keeps me alive, alive

*And I know your shining down on me from heaven.

Like so many friends we’ve lost along the way.

And I know eventually we’ll be together, together

On sweet day.*

Darlin’ I never told you.

Asumed you’d always be there.

And I, I took your presence for granite.
