September 13, 201312 yr Author comment_5562439 WCW just puts an on-screen graphic up to recognize Pillman's death, but I don't think there was any mention of it on the air.
September 13, 201312 yr comment_5562454 I don't know if it's on this show but they do mention it on the air at one point and say that Mike Tenay is working on a WCW Home Video release of Pillman with profits going to his family.
September 13, 201312 yr comment_5562503 Any idea what happened there? I know a tape of it eventually surfaced somewhere but it was never officially released.
September 14, 201312 yr comment_5562524 Probably just lip service. Between this and what WWF did on that same night, it seems the Big Two thought they could milk this for publicity (with Princess Di's death the major news at the time).

September 28, 201311 yr comment_5565109 Just a screen graphic wishing condolences. At least they acknowledged it but would have been nice to see a video of his WCW career.
May 17, 201411 yr comment_5603621 WCW acknowledges Pillman's death. I would have liked to have maybe seen a brief discussion with Tony and the crew but this is serviceable.
