Brian Pillman Jr. is his ring name, while his real name is Brian Zachary Pillman. He wrestled under Lance Storm at the Storm Wrestling Academy and made his pro-wrestling debut for CZW in 2018 at age 25.
Since then, the young man from Cincinnati has worked his way into the business.
Later that year (2018), Pillman Jr. signed with MLW and debuted for the promotion by joining the New Hart Foundation promotion. As of this writing, Brian is a member of the MLW roster but regularly works AEW shows, particularly AEW Dark. However, that could change significantly as there are rumors of a WWE-MLW working partnership.
