#6 – Brian Pillman
Brian Pillman is the definition for "what could have been" in professional wrestling. A mind for the business, a "loose cannon" attitude that said whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted, and a great in-ring athlete, even after flipping his Hummer and having his ankle fused. He's the kind of guy that would wrestle a four-star match with a technical master, then pull a gun on Steve Austin and drop the f-bomb on live television. Pillman had every tool at his disposal to make it in the world of professional wrestling. And he may have done so. Tragically, and many of you likely know this story already, Pillman was found dead in his hotel room in October of 1997, the same night he was scheduled to face Dude Love on PPV.
