Lexus Pillman, son of the late professional wrestler Brian Pillman, has carried on his father’s legacy. Known as “Flyin’ Brian” in the 1990s, Pillman was recognized for his aerial wrestling techniques. Unfortunately, a severe car accident led him to adapt a more grounded wrestling style. Sadly, Brian Pillman’s WWE career was cut short when he died unexpectedly from an unnoticed heart condition in October 1997.
