Kim Wood, the former NFL strength coach of Brian Pillman, recently had some choice words for Vince McMahon during the first half of Brian Pillman’s Dark Side of the Ring special.
Brian Pillman made headlines in the 90s by working with WWE, WCW, and ECW in close succession to one another and having all of the major promotions in the industry talking about him when suddenly his life changed forever due to an automobile accident.
Just before the accident, Brian Pillman’s “Loose Cannon” character was reaching its zenith as he was negotiating with both WWE and WCW with some, including Vince McMahon, not knowing whether or not he was playing a character or if he was legitimately insane.
Kim Wood, a close confidant of Brian's and his former strength coach in the NFL, compared Vince McMahon to a whore during the recent Dark Side of the Ring special about the legendary wrestler.
“Vince? Yeah, you know what you do with a whore? You fuck ‘em. That's what I thought of Vince. That's all I think of Vince.”
Later, Kim dispelled the rumor that Brian simply wanted out of his WCW contract to go to WWE. Suggesting instead, much like Dave Meltzer on the documentary, that Brian was just trying to get a better, more lucrative guaranteed offer out of WCW.
“No. It's money,” said Wood, when asked if it mattered where Brian ended up. “That's the bottom fucking line, money! These people are in Fantasyland and it's money."
Parts 1 & 2 of the documentary aired on VICE TV on Thursday, May 6. Viewership for the episode landed it in a higher position for the evening than the most recent IMPACT Wrestling. Learn more here.
