From HWAOnline.com:
May, 2000.
The HWA’s Brian Pillman Memorial.
An event that was unlike any other, that brought together the best of the best. So many of the most talented, most influential, most entertaining, and most talked about wrestlers in the world all joined together to honor a man who had touched so many, and to keep his memory alive for future generations. Chris Benoit. Eddy Guerrero. Dean Malenko. Steve Regal. Tom Prichard. Shane Douglas. Of course, the HWA’s own Cody Hawk, Shark Boy, D’Lo Brown, and so many others. They were all part of history that night, and no one who was there will ever forget that once-in-a-lifetime feeling.
Yeah, it’s back.

Stay tuned … and get ready.
