Brian Pillman Jr. has been working hard the last several months to get into contention for a crack at championship gold.
Pillman has expressed an interest in challenging Hammerstone for the National Openweight title as well as moving down to the 205 pound Middleweight division where Myron Reed, an Opera Cup alternate, recently won the title having dethroned Teddy Hart.
Pillman’s showing in the Opera Cup could catapult him to a title fight.
