Brian Pillman Jr. leaves AEW after his contract expires

[Kim Jong Umb]

"Promised Prince" was a good gimmick especially if you would of gone heel with it made him into a chip on his shoulder because he wasn't gaining the push he wanted

They had one chance to get that kid over and they used him and his father for more heat.

But being in that lame ass Varsity Club wasn't doing him any favours, nor was playing generic white meat babyface, just looked like a geek who's whole gimmick was "my dad was Brian Pillman"....Jungleboy was already doing that gimmick.

Impact would rehab him for sure

Was thinking more Myers/Pillman Jr.

I'm waiting for impact to do Ballroom Swingers (Dango & Swinger)

I thought Impact was trying to avoid negative locker room presences

he would indeed need to get his head out of his bum

 

[Chris]

I mean they tried way to hard to push him as this babyface when in MLW his biggest strength was as a heel

That's also a very good point, you could tell TK wanted to try and capitalize on the Pillman dark side which shouldn't have been as obvious as it was even if that was the goal

 

[Comrade Khan]

end of the day I don't think he currently has the attributes Tony is looking for. I do hope he finds a new home quickly though

I think Pillman Jr has potential and liked his work in MLW but he never really clicked in AEW when given chances. I also think some of his behaviour backstage might not have helped him (Punk went from wanting to work with him to mocking Pillman being a dumbass at times on twitter). Him leaving AEW is probs for the best and maybe he can restart in MLW or Impact

 

[Deezy]

Somehow CM Punk is being blamed for this because he said he wanted to work with him, and then clowned him for his social media posts.

Stretch Armstrong shit......but there was a window to see if they could get him over after that Darkside episode and nothing really happened, was still in a DOA tag team, wasn't really given promo time to show if he could be a Starks who knocked his chance out the park or shat the bed.
the cr
He's still relatively young right? He could use this to prove people wrong......show em they were wrong.

The best motivator, take all the bookings, make a name for yourself and stick the critics opinions right up their ass.

I'm pulling for the kid, he seems like a good kid.

But I don't know him, maybe he's an asshole iono.

Ah. I can't say I saw much in him. I feel like he got signed too early and was a touch too green to be put on a major platform without having the character or personality to make up for it, so after his major chance & the obvious 'heel shits on Pillman Snr for heat, BPJ attempts to avenge' feud with MJF, I'm not surprised he got depushed. The end of the TazCalibur Dark Podcast Show really put a dent in watching lowcard guys like BPJ and others progress into better workers, unfortunately.

He's young and has a whole possible world ahead of him, he just has to put in the work. There's something to work with there, he needs a fair bit more seasoning to figure that out. I'm sure he'll pop back up somewhere, a trip through the indies and landing somewhere else for a spell could do him wonders.

Beat me to my own punch, lol

Sadly, this is going to happen more and more I fear, they have too many people they don't use.
