Its an infamous moment in professional wrestling that brought the Attitude into the Attitude Era back in late 1996. On the November 4th edition of Raw Is War that year, the ongoing feud between Stone Cold Steve Austin and the loose cannon Brian Pillman climaxed on a whole new level that stunned viewers around the world. Pillman, who had an ankle injury at the time, was sitting comfortably at home with his wife while Austin, who had been on the receiving end of many attacks from Pillman, was ready to attack Pillman at his own home. The whole event was filmed live and throughout Raw Vince would cut back to the Pillman house for updates. Eventually Austin showed up, attacked Pillmans friends, and broke into his house, but Pillman then pulled out his gun, pointed it at Austin, and the camera feed was disrupted. When it cut back to the house, Pillman continued to threaten Austin with the gun as he was dragged out of the house and even dropped a F-bomb during all the yelling. The funny thing was that out of everything that happened, Pillmans cursing was the one thing he had to apologize for. Pointing a gun at somebody and threatening to kill them is apparently perfectly acceptable in WWE. Which outrageous Attitude Era moments were your favourites?
