Brian Pillman Jr. took to Twitter today, announcing that he’ll be paying tribute to his late father on this week’s AEW Dark and AEW Dynamite broadcasts.
Pillman Jr. will be wearing an original pair of his dad’s “Bengal” orange and black striped trunks.
For what it’s worth, Pillman will be the focus of Dark Side of the Ring’s two-part season three premiere that will air this Thursday night on VICE TV.
Pillman Jr. said,
“Tonight and tomorrow I will be honoring my father’s historic career by wearing an original pair of his famous black and orange striped “bengals” trunks! Watch yer necks boys cause AIR PILLMAN IS COMIN THROUGH!!!”
