5 superstars whose true potential we never got to witness

#3 Brian Pillman

The Loose Cannon

Most of us will remember Brian Pillman for the infamous 'Pillman's got a gun' promo with Stone Cold Steve Austin, but there are a lot of other things worth remembering from Pillman's short career in professional wrestling.

Having wrestled for Stampede Wrestling, WCW, ECW as well as the erstwhile WWF, Pillman is remembered mostly for his time in WCW for his 'Loose Cannon' gimmick, where he blurred the line between reality and kayfabe with his 'worked shoots', which was almost unheard of at the time. His character would surely have flourished during the attitude era, had he been around long enough.

Sadly, we will never find out what could have been, as Pillman passed away due to an undiagnosed heart condition at the young age of 35.
