– Kevin Sullivan recently appeared on Vince Russo’s podcast. During the interview, Sullivan told a story about Brian Pillman wanting to streak at the Super Bowl…

“Before he gave up alcohol, I saw Brian at the bar a few times and there was that snap side, that loose cannon side. He was very witty, not only at bars, but even at 7-11 he’d come across with that big, witty remark, but, I didn’t see it that BIG. The thing is Vince, he came to me one time and when he said this it blew me over because I knew he was right. Remember when Cincinnati went to the Super Bowl? He came to me and said, ‘I’m going to do something that’s gonna shock the wrestling match. During the game, when the ball’s on the other end I’m gonna run out on the field, with a chain, strip naked and lock myself to the goalpost with six chains. Even if they stayed away from it, you knew it was going to make the front page. They would have put him away for observation for 90 days, but, HE WAS WILLING TO DO IT! That’s how far out his thinking was.”
