#8 Bobby drops an f-bomb on Nitro & helps start the Attitude Era

In 1995, Brian Pillman was in the midst of what to many on both sides of the curtain appeared to be a "breakdown" of sorts. His behaviour became increasingly erratic and eventually saw him leave WCW, only to show up in ECW, get hurt in a car wreck and sign for the WWF!

One of his most memorable but often forgotten moments, that helped build "The Loose Cannon" legend was an incident on Nitro where Bobby Heenan legit dropped the F-Bomb when Pillman tried to grab him during a match.

Bobby later explained that he had received neck surgery and Pillman had gotten too close to the injured area, causing his outburst.

It's certainly a bizarre note in the annals of "Brain" history, but one that helped shape the future of the business. Within a year, Pillman was in the WWF fathering the Attitude Era with Steve Austin!
