Talk is Jericho Ft Meltzer: PILLMAN - 20 YEARS LATER

[Amor fati]

It's been 20 years since Brian Pillman's tragic passing, and Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer joins TIJ to share some stories and memories. Dave started covering Brian's wrestling career from his early days in Calgary with Stampede Wrestling. The two became very close friends, and now Dave Meltzer is providing some insight about Brian's Loose Cannon gimmick, how Brian was able to get Eric Bischoff and WCW to release him from his contract so that he could pull a swerve and sign with Vince McMahon and WWE, Brian's Hollywood Blondes tag team with Steve Austin, and the one big goal that drove Brian's career choices. And Dave remembers the last days leading up to Brian's tragic death. Plus, Sisi & Chey return to give their personal review of the new movie, "It."

This seems pretty cheap. Did Pillman and Jericho ever even cross paths in any promotion? ECW maybe?

Yes he mentions that Pillman randomly appeared in his match with Taz. He say's that Pillman was cheering for him tapping the mat, Taz then stepped up to Pillman making him run towards the security guards who escorted him out of the building.
