Chris and Don relive their love of Pillman as kids and his evolution into the “Loose Cannon” in ECW.

The crew talks about Pillman’s training in the Hart Dungeon and Stew Hart stretching people for hours, the insanity of Kim Wood, the shocking moment when Brian’s widow - Melanie - first appears on screen, Jim Cornette calling Brian “gorgeous”, and the benefits of reading the dictionary
