Why does everyone hate Pillman again? It’s nothing easily google able I initially wondered this myself. Like if Evil Uno doesn't like you then that's a "something's wrong with you" problem, b/c Uno looks like the nicest man on the planet and could get along with anyone. I'm trying to think of other people Evil Uno has really dunked on that much. Braun/Scherr, yeah, but that wasn't unprovoked. Even with Cornette, he usually doesn't talk about him or will be generous and say that he gets why Cornette had an issue with him in ROH, that his gear/presentation at the time wasn't up to snuff. Like, if Uno's willing to cut Cornette slack and is mocking Pillman, that's not a good look for Brian. I do think that Pillman looked good in MLW working with Harry Smith and Teddy Hart, but that some of that was because he was being cut some slack for being newer, and since it was a smaller pond. In a perfect world, they could somehow trade Dominik Mysterio and Pillman Jr. and maybe redeem these guys from being total goobers by shocking their system with some new surroundings. Even still, part of me suspects Dominik would come out better.

In all honestly how were they gonna get over and move up with this WCW Saturday Night sequel gimmick. It seemed like they were doomed in their place from day one.

Good to bet on yourself, but obviously, he's got some major plateauing to combat. I would be lying if I said I expected him to catch up to Wheeler or Garcia, among other up and comers.

Julia Hart was my favourite part of the act and now she is not with them I don't care that much about them.

Julia Hart was my favourite part of the act and now she is not with them I don't care that much about them. She accounted for a large part of why the act worked at all, I think. I remember noticing that her cheerleading on the outside was more effective than I would have expected, even if it wasn't the focus of the camera or anything.

They honestly pulled the plug on it too quickly, in part because that was one seriously glacial heel turn for her, but I get that maybe she wanted something more creatively fulfilling. The cheerleading was great, but it was very "what you see if what you get", I suppose.

Pillman jr should consider turn heel with the current lack of young heels in the midcard/singles division

I don't think Pillman is a particularly angry or problematic person but I do think he is probably an idiot
Genetics are an interesting thing. His dad was SO smart

Pillman's tweet sounds like one of those student athlete memes. At this point, I hope the Varsity Blonds stick around because it's fun to dunk on them. They're like a couple Dominik Mysterios.

Pillman's tweet sounds like one of those student athlete memes. The local high school just put up pep rally/school spirit style signs on the lampposts around town in anticipation of back to school and fall football and they read almost exactly like that. Somehow I don't think he was intending to evoke the airheaded letterman jock that way, but something something broken clock. Also I feel like somehow his mullet is extracting his braincells and maybe losing a hair match would be good for him.

Honestly, if Pillman Jr. turned heel and really leaned into being a dumb jock as his gimmick, I think that could work.

Losing Julia definitely hurt the group but also Pillman jr screwing up all the chances they had didnt help either.

He's not wrong, they did kind of get hosed. That said, the Varsity Blondes is one of those things where it's probably not a champion-level tag team. I wonder if they're just kind of on ice until ROH is a thing, or if Khan is going to repackage the two without doing a breakup feud, or what.
