Roddy Piper promo before Iron Shiek Match

[06chelseabby]

I fuckin love this video

[couchfort]

"Look like you had six litters of puppies" Holy crap lmao

[Youthanzia]

this is what promo's were like, before you had to have writers

[murdock2k8]

Wow piper was one of those guys who could genuinely make you believe he was insane

[vodkagal28]

@murdock2k8 yeah,he is that awesome!!

[mmmikeyxx]

one of the best ever.

[SpecsCoupe1115]

"Aah, aah, ahh, WHAT?!?"

[chrisconwaypeters]

you have a future in politics

[oDGuardian]

It's funny he said 'you can break my neck I fight for a living,' and before an MRI a few months ago he was wrestling with a broken neck.

[Yapostadodat]

Nobody but NOBODY did these pump up scenes better than this dude. Amen brother, these were the GOLDEN DAYS of wrestling when Geraldo got b-slapped for asking a wrester if it was real.

[kasfami]

damn y do people say fuck hogan? hogan isnt my fav either but damn give the man credit. he did bring wwe/f into the main steam of pop culture. sure he was an ass for not lettin anyone else shine as long as he did but u cant deny he was one of the hottest guys in the 80s and 90s

[MisterAuthentic]

Piper's just fucking amazing man. THIS is SKILL! Fuck Hogan.

[rupbe]

Adrian Adonis was a fucking hog. I've seen hosses, but my God...

[meisterpernat]

OMG, he doesn't blink once.

[bigleagues]

"I'm Roddy Piper - and you're not"

That is a Top 5 moment.

[loserguy1022]

It's funny how Sheiky calls him HotRod, and actually Sheik and Piper were drug buddies while on the road. Lol I'm talkin snorting coke, smoking crack, taking opium, smoking weed, qualudes, uppers, downers, and beer all at the same time. A to the Z. Lol Sheik talks abt it but they took down Sheik's full RF shoot video. 

[skerryred]

unscripted passionate promos....Roddy was the best....i grew up on this stuff on Saturday mornings...and it was PG and was damn good...

[silentbob82]

One of my favourite promo men of all time!

[Seanatonin]

Piper at his best

[agentspinnaker]

Nobody handled the mic better than Piper. I put him over Jesse the Body and Ric Flair. The only recent wrestler that could give him competition was the Rock every one else stinks!

[thegreatmrt]

@agentspinnaker Stone cold was up there too, and chris jericho is as well.

[agentspinnaker]

@thegreatmrt Jerecho lost it over the years and I think that had to do with the WWE writers and the lean toward 20 minute in ring conversations. WWE micromanages the talent.

[katapultsmash]

Lord, I bet Piper is AMAZING in bed.  In fact, ya might not live through it!!!

[AJ36sXe]

Piper is the greatest talker in wrestling history. The only person that is arguable is Ric Flair.

[painkiller84able]

I think the wrestlers of yester-year fought to make ppl believe it was real; and after Vinnie Mac came out an said its fake, all the new talent look at the business as an acting gig, and are just really bad actors with big muscles, with the exception of a few, CM Punk, etc...

[EmeraldAlliances]

looks like a Post Match promo to me

[AndrewDavidBaron]

Annnnnnnd the Oscar goes to: (dramatic pause) Rowdy Rowdy Piper!

[giovannip]

LOL ", my father says this isnt real, BUT that guy (Piper) just smashed the bald headed guy with a crutch and look at the marks on his back he hit that &%#@! ........... i dont like them other guys, but i like this guy" ....... for those of you that remember 1988

[zzDzCzCzz]

Roddy Piper is a true great. When you watched 80's and 90's wrestling you were captivated. Even though it's entertainment, Piper made it feel real.

[MrThewhackness]

Such an awesome interview. Totally old school style and this is what the WWE is missing. Charisma like Roddy Roddy showed

[dw1985]

wwe blows now

[jarthos123]

I just got ADD watching this.

[DelBluenose80]

About as Scottish as Pol Pot! LOL

[Goldiney]

You - you're ok. This one - real FUCKIN ugly.

[SuperCurtiis]

he was the man piper loved his promo's.

[agentspinnaker]

no one was faster with insults than piper

[88wulfgar]

Piper made the best character ever. Pipers pit when I was a kid was the best. No wrestler today can come close to what this man has done.

[kcalbraeb]

shit man...I remember having all the flexible action figures! Damn that dont make cool shit like that anymore......everything sucks now, including the wrestlers!

[vee325]

THEY LIVE!

[Goldiney]

@vee325 I HAVE COME HERE TO CHEW BUBBLEGUM AND KICK ASS - AND IM ALL OUT OF BUBBLEGUM.

[RCdeeds10]

this just shows that PG wrestling can be good... just gotta have great performers like piper

[TheSirMittens]

@RCdeeds10 exactly. fire the writers also!!

[JWRandall423]

Piper always made the most of his 'roid rage.

[Seanatonin]

That is why he's Roddy Piper and we're not!

[flexyco]

"That's why I'm Roddy Piper and you're not."

That really cracked me up bigtime!!

[talshiarr]

Stretch marks that look like a map of upstate New York?! Only Piper could have come up with that, LOL.

[mrplayboy2u]

@talshiarr because its lame?

[lilkinney2q]

DANM HE IS CRAZY SO THE RUMMORS ARE TRUE

[jallendubya]

God bless the Hot Rod!

[CadillacL]

Piper is a MANIAC on the mic. Nobody did a promo like him!

[King2123]

Roddy Piper dumped his own Jack and Coke on his head

[TheMadStork83]

You people wanna know why promos aren't as good as they use to be? It's because they don't use cocaine like they use to in the 80's, THATS WHY!!!!

[Mitsyrules]

YOU SAY I'M INSANE I SAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH

[barracudatheband]

that's why i'm roddy piper and you're not

[WatchVenusSpa]

He was Rowdy before Rowdy was cool!

[hotdave86000]

BEST WRESTLER FROM THE EIGHTIES !!

[hotdave86000]

COOL MOVIES HE'S DONE !!

[billyray1220]

He should be the next Raw GM

[hoopydu]

Pardon my french I guess- Fuck. Yeah.

[meanlezbo]

piper and adonis both were queers

[dsussman]

wow. what a promo.

random sidenote: I actually met roddy yesterday. coolest. guy. ever.

[TheElliott1972]

Thats why He's Rody Piper and your N O T!!!!

[xpander2k]

The only person that is remotely as entertaining as the likes of Rowdy Roddy Piper was back in the day in today's wrestling is probably Jay Lethal, but even then he is still imitating guys from this era. Not to make fun, but out of respect.

[hotdave86000]

ALEX JONES IS LIKE RODDY PIPER !!

[JoshRA]

@hotdave86000 except roddy piper is entertaining whereas alex Jones is a paranoid douchebag.

[TheMachoMadnesss]

pipers pit!!!

his promos were badass-thers a few guys who were beasts on the mic-but nothing compared to roddy

[muta157]

I put Piper against ANY interview in the business today. If he was around today he'd be the champ for years. Nobody touches him.

[pr1978]

This was when wrestling was fun to watch. Piper was a killer in front of the camera.

[Serabo]

Piper > Hogan

[wwebatmanmaniac]

@Serabo hell yeah he is!

[40ozAficionado]

If there was one person who could kick Chuck Noriss' ass, I would have to go with this guy. Chuck has skills but I don't know that he could deal with this insanity.

[MaxFillio]

Roddy,  run for office! You would so win. And be good at it too.

[lockenjr]

@MaxFillio it is too bad he was not born in the usa becuase him and ventura would make one kick ass presidentila duo. They take care or our people as well as but bush and cheney in jail for the things they did and conduct an actual investigation on 911 not one ran by the republicans. They have both in fact expressed that view point.

[reedeema]

if you think wrestling sucks today , give me a

HEAL YEAAAHHHHHH !

[MrPerfect77]

Thats why he's Rowdy Piper. And were NOT.

[PollyX5]

a heal yeah? what, you're a nurse or something?

[reedeema]

hell sorry butcrust !

[PollyX5]

Nothing wrong with being a nurse, really. I you are, you would be quite practical. F.e., in case one needs to be reedeemad (a queer cross between a redeeming mad and the remedy against butcrust). Butt (which requires a double 't' actually), I deem Thy apologies accepted. (Whaoahahaah, and I'm not even a native English speaker...well, that suggests that going native might actually imply going native - as in pigeon native - thus I am not sorry not being native, for sorry one should be) Bybye.

[FilipM1]

"You can break my neck; I FIGHT FOR A LIVING!! When you carry a big stick you know Gene, you don't wanna walk so soft no more, you know..!" Haha! Hilarious!!

[Branzo29]

Fuck YEA MaN!

[moneyme17]

This is what you call Cutting a Promo 101 Style

[AlSween]

lmmfao... i love it "a litter of 6 puppies"

[cpthurme]

holy shit

[MrBlackSW]

Actually, this was the promo AFTER the Shiek match. It is still a great post.

[pr1978]

Now this is what I miss in todays wrestling shows. If the wrestlers of today were able to conduct an interview like the way Hot Rod did (which I doubt very much), then I will be a fan once again. I could barely watch five minutes of what is being portrayed in wrestling today. WWF 80s/90s = Priceless!

[ikillmofos]

Totally F'ing Agree With You!

[bigpoopie69]

Piper is a god on the mic.

[hurdyb1]

All wrestlers today need to study the wrestlers of the WWF times. All those guys had mic skills. Only a very small handful can get on the mic today.

[Whooligan86]

A lot needs to work on their moves too.

[lockenjr]

yeah and most of that handful are the ones the have been around so long that they were getting started back in these days here...

[Cavillier1970]

@hurdyb1 Amen brother. I'd say the top three to watch/study Roddy Piper, the American Dream Dusty Rhodes and Jake the Snake Roberts.

[stankmonkey008]

@hurdyb1 that's because the wwe now just wants roid monkeys who can't talk for shit

[GamerReviews95]

@hurdyb1 well that was a dumb thing to say i think very low of you and anyone who liked that comment , back then piper was the only one with real mic ability other had written promos , now are you really gonna say that miz . cm punk , chris Jericho , christan , edge , alberto del rio , wade barret , Michael cole and the new heel r truth thats only some and that is more that a hand ful

[shaolinwisdom]

@hurdyb1 Rowdy Roddy Piper will always be King of Promos.

This is When Wrestling promos were from the heart & on the fly, FAST, Not this Stamped out crap some WRITER in an OFFICE puts together for wrestlers who don't have this kind talent anymore.

In the old days & the territory days those who could cut a promo kept their job & those who couldn't took a walk. Piper didn't need 10 championship reigns to be a Franchise guy. Just give him a mic & let him work his mouthpiece and he drew the crowds.

[scumgod13]

@hurdyb1 I'd take it back even further than that. The oldschool promo's he did at Georgia Championship Wrestling when he was "co-hosting" with Gordon Solie.the new wrestlers need study THAT. Before all the lights pyro and when it was called wrestling not sports entertainment. ya know,when they concentrated on camera angles and real personalities,Piper could sell it on the Mic. like No one else. Cept maybe Buzz Sawyer.

[TARIQ1399]

i miss wwf

[diamondcalves]

The Piperness

[TheSaintOfPain]

THIS is why I love Piper so damn much.  Still my favorite to this day, after The Undertaker.

[CadillacL]

Miz has NOTHING on Piper on the mic.

[Lonestarram89]

Rowdy Roddy Piper is the MAN!

[Alecal89]

lol! Anyone who thinks the miz is good in the mic, needs to see this

[sirstrongbad]

heck, Miz makes Khali look good on the mic!. though one of the stiffest mic performers I can remember was probably Lance Storm

[talkingsports]

one of the best when it comes talking into the MIC. anybody remember when he put that dog collar in greg valentines cake, right before the first Starcade?

[zatiel]

So great

[WarriorSmurf]

This should be titled "after iron sheik match". Good video, nonetheless. Thanks :)

[suspekt29]

I had no idea Piper fought the Sheik. That match must have rocked

[lockenjr]

not really roddy limped in on one leg and pinned shieky baby however he did pull the trunks.

[angus506]

they dont have people in wrestling like this anymore

its something different now

these people cared about it for a different reason

[Cena60793]

Piper is insane on the mic, WWE won't let anyone go crazy and energetic like this on the mic anymore!

[lockenjr]

even if they did who the hell could ever even come close to roddy. Honeslty he was one of those characters that come down the pike about once every generation if that. Like flair said he was the best wrestler on the mic of all time bar none.

[ryanwade2006]

he definitely just poured rum and coke on his head. lol.

[shingomax]

@ryanwade2006 lol I know awesome right?

[benjo13572]

one of the greatest promos of all time...nobody was better than piper at that

even if he had to pour what looks like dip juice on himself to prove a point

i guess that's why he's roddy piper, and we're not

[mcbaby]

If Roddy Piper became a motivational speaker, that man would save lives and get the job done no matter what. That's why he's Roddy Piper and we're not.

[PollyX5]

Indeed, he would be nice as a neurolinguistic programmer.

[daveofTBZworld]

piper and his crazyiness, just funny.

[FoCuS138]

:43-:45 sounds like donald duck

"look like an upstate map of new york"

LMAO

[FoCuS138]

"and your beautiful pectorials, that look like you had 6 liters of puppies"

[jlward]

I resemble that remark...

[sicmcnasti]

Piper was AMAZING with promos

[jallendubya]

@sicmcnasti The Ultimate Warrior was excellent @ hamin it up too. Sometimes I don't think even he knew what he was saying but it sounded cool, Ultimate Warrior that is.

[diamondcalves]

@sicmcnasti I love these type of guys. I'd buy what he's on fe shisel. "I have one of those"

[Budsmoker72]

wth man, that was a post match interview!!!!

[AluminumF0ilHead]

Did Piper just pour coffee on himself? What a crazy asshole.

GOTTA LOVE THAT SHIT.

[avonbarksdalejr]

NAW, IT WAS SODA. BUT IT WAS STILL FUNNY

[SAMagic]

I thought it was a pint of Guinness. :P

[southplnk]

@AluminumF0ilHead  i think it was NEW coke

[JoshRA]

@AluminumF0ilHead nah.  Looks more like soda.

[Tsuzuja]

@AluminumF0ilHead

It looks like Coke, ice falls out of the cup as well.

[buck2239]

@AluminumF0ilHead That was soda, the ice rolled off him and made a noise hitting the floor. If you thought that was crazy look up Piper busting a full bottle of beer on his head.

[protuberance]

@buck2239 Ya never know, it coulda been iced coffee.

[buck2239]

@protuberance Yeah everyone was icing the coffee back then lol.

[protuberance]

@buck2239 lolololol, totally!!!

[BostonSwagga5]

@AluminumF0ilHead ummmmmmm it was soda...hence the ice and soda cup...

[ddykema82834]

"You can break my neck, I fight for a living!" lol awesome.

[ictyme7]

thats why hes roddy piper and your not

[cne08]

Piper should run for PM of Canada.

[RSLindsay]

For me, Rowdy Roddy Piper will always be -- and I mean this as a *compliment* -- the Daffy Duck of pro wrestling! Who else but Roddy would have whacked Jimmy Snuka with a coconut? Who else but Piper would have smooched then stripped Golddust in the ring at WMXII? Piper was totally nuts, in an insane, Daffy Duck sort of way! And we love him for it!

[ozzyman75]

yeah i loved piper growing up. I couldn't wait to turn on and watch him and the bushwackers :D

[3089280288]

irrascible

[TheManAbove]

Piper is among the many greats who could work the microphone. He is the man when it came to promos.

[shue3303]

Piper.

He was the BEST heal EVER!

[lockenjr]

as well as one of the best faces ever especially here in the pacific northwest.

[SSJ3Sandslash]

Speak softly and carry a big stick - you will go far.

[hydra555]

at 1:14 to 1:15 you can hear people laughing in the background

[punkasswalrusV3]

Piper's promos fucking pwned!!!!

[FoCuS138]

it sux wen guys like flair get called on as the best talker in the business but they never mention piper

[lockenjr]

yeah but ask flair who is the best talker ever in the biz, you know the answer.

[MultipleScrotum]

I dont know

[lockenjr]

heres a hint he wears a kilt... lol

[erlenD9393]

roddy piper is crazy! i love it xD

[ultimatewarriorfan93]

PIPER IS GOD

[roddypiper15]

yeah he's a god

[batmanjwo]

Austin, The Rock, et al., owe their careers to that man! He walked the walk. However, he could talk the talk like no one else.

[lockenjr]

yeah roddy was the total wrestling package, He layed way for austin to be that badass we couldnt help but cheer and he layed way for that quick cunning heel or face wit on the mic like the rock has. Piper had both their strengths and was better at it...

[SatiricalTruth]

The Gary Oldman of wrestling

[tico8007]

piper sounds like the irish drunks I see hanging around bars on friday nights

[Canny911]

And that's why he's Roddy Piper...and you're not.

[Kindred72]

Just when you think you got all the answers we changed all the questions.

[lockenjr]

one of his best friends buddy rose used that line as well.

[mrtrin]

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA That's why I'm roddy piper, and you're not!!!

[breezeman199]

Piper was great.

[y2jbrock]

the best

[whipuwitastrap]

"You can break my neck, I fight for a living!!!"

[floorboredelpaso11hg]

The I.C.O.N

[lifeshape]

Piper and Flair- - the 2 greatest heels of all time.

Piper wasn't bad as a face either!

[lockenjr]

in fact piper is the biggest face the pacific northwest as ever seen he is truly a god here in oregon and washington.
