December 27, 201014 yr Author comment_5461124 Pillman's first post-accident appearance. More of an angle than a match, as Pillman challenges Whipwreck and Mikey slaps him, leading to RVD jumping him and making quick work of him. Then we get a music video recapping the match that's almost as long as the match itself (??) and Joey Styles interviews Pillman from ringside, who is sitting in his wheelchair.
January 13, 201114 yr comment_5461939 I believe this was controversial at the time, because Pillman used the n-word in referring to the Gangstas, and New Jack tried to start a fight with him when he came back through the curtain. I think they may have cut that out of the version that aired.
February 14, 201510 yr comment_5654238 Yeah, this was the "Niggas with Attitude" incident, and that doesn't make air. Mikey literally having to hold the chair *twice* so RVD can knock it into his face was pretty eye-rolling (this is probably the debut of the Van Daminator, and thank goodness for that) but it's a fresh look at RVD for him to be booked as a killer heel, at least. Pillman hasn't mellowed at all since the car wreck, obviously. This promo was pretty good and I really kinda wish we'd gotten the whole thing, just to see exactly what he said.
April 25, 201510 yr comment_5665947 RVD is now embodied in an angle but I didn't see much redeeming about this and it feels disappointing to be Pillmans return and him involved with this although the car wreck really stunted any momentum for him.
