RIPPA Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 I am not going to do a WOTD tomorrow so I will close out the week and year with Roddy Piper. I didn't do a WOTD on him when he died and since I did one for Dusty, it is only fitting. God this was so fucking brilliant
jstout Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Check out the referee at 1:29 of the Piper turn video. Tree-mendous. Piper was so charismatic, and in that case, used the almost anti-charisma of Ole Anderson to both guys' advantage. Ole's kinda like that prick neighbor who complains all the time about how you don't mow your lawn enough, and Piper's the guy you'd like to be in response to the prick neighbor just one time. Ole perfectly compliments Piper in this situation, kinda like McMahon perfectly complimented Austin.
cool arrow Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 I wish the Haku match from SNME were online. But since it isn't...
Curt McGirt Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 The first thing I wanted to post was Roddy doing amateur style in I believe Georgia against Jack Brisco but I couldn't find it. So immediately my mind goes to two of the seediest things Piper was involved in that didn't involve racism or cocaine. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x12f1ts_goldust-vs-rowdy-roddy-piper-hollywood-backlot-brawl-3-31-1996_sport

TimLivingston Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 I totally remember that episode, too. He killed it.

J.T. Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 Piper said a lot of dumb things that really infuriated me, but I always respected him as a worker. Here is a bit of the match that put him on the map for me.
Curt McGirt Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 I never saw that Politically Incorrect episode before. Fantastic.
cool arrow Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 This match is pretty bad (especially the finish) but the pre-match hijinx are entertaining. Plus I guess it was kind of historic. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3znge_jerry-the-king-lawler-vs-roddy-rodd_sport http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3zo2f_jerry-the-king-lawler-vs-roddy-rodd_sport
BrianS81177 Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Piper dominating on Politically Incorrect Piper was great on that, but watching it reminds me of what a sad injustice it is that Bobby Heenan can no longer speak.
