[hbk2hhh]

at 18 seconds who would have thought that guy would be the creepy dude from its always sunny in philadelphia

[piggyinthehood]

Awesome. Piper and Devito would reunite on Always Sunny in Philadelphia like 20 years later

[hbk2hhh]

@piggyinthehood hiliarious show huh

[piggyinthehood]

@hbk2hhh Hell Yeah. I loved Danny's wrestling episode where Piper gets arrested halfway through. Definitely a classic

[JOEYX8]

This guy was high on coke .. or drunk.. one of the two.

[ilnonvivo]

Roddy Roidy Piper.

[TheMashwatcher585]

1985 roddy piper was and will allways his best year. this was roddy in his prime.

[horseman420]

THAT was Roddy Piper!!!

[raiders75]

Why is Mene Gene interviewing that hairy child? LOL Roddy Piper spoke it like it was. I loved hearing him and Jesse Ventura cause they spoke the gospel. lol. Love them both. As for Alan Hunter...god bless MTV for hiring him. He was one of my faves.

[clergymen19]

Just skip to @1:00 to hear all you need to hear. One of the best EVER.

[michaeljackson1978]

piper was hell!

[mmmikeyxx]

Bring the little black man and the big blond man!

[ou812scott]

I once heard that mean gene was gay.......this true?

[SunsetGroove]

Alan Hunter? Are they sure that guy at the end with Mean Gene isn't Denis Leary circa 85? LOL

[Wayneman117]

get em Piper-lol

[discjocky44]

Wow the Memories, gotta love the Hot Rod Truly the greatest entertaner of all time The rock was in his league but edge to the Hot Rod

[Drackkor]

Piper was the best heel ever but he could never recapture it after he turned face.

[keithyw]

Roddy Piper is basically pro-wrestling's Robin Williams. Not sure if the guy was coked up back then, but damn he had all that energy and brilliance. Didn't look contrived unlike people right now where everyone is a cookie cutter clone of one another.

Even though in retrospect you knew Piper wouldn't get the belt, it makes you kinda wonder what it would've been like if McMahon took a different road and put it on him.

[MrsWLeach]

Andy obviously had an effect on Danny!

[fukgloryzz]

"Bring the little black man and bring the big blonde man into the ring!" Classic. The 80's were by far the greatest time for this business and WWF.

[TheMashwatcher585]

1985 was roddy`s best year as a heal

[a68rebel]

Roddy RULES!!!

[DominantNeckFetish]

Pipers knock on Devite was classic haaa haaa da plans! lol

[jscottrockford]

Piper my all-time favorite  :)

[TheSurferSmurf]

I LOVE IT!! PIPER ROCKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[1987liljames]

There is only one Roddy Piper!!!

[mattman2006]

This should of been the guy who played Braveheart...Am I right??

[elchicho25]

LMAO! The Planes! HAHAHAAAAA

[muta157]

OMG. Can anybody cut a promo like Piper.  Just tremendous.

[Hardeen31]

@muta157 No,it's all scripted now. Piper just went for it and let it fly. Nothing was off limits. This was pure talent.

[Rayla840]

Haha. Did you see the bald guy in the backgrounds reaction when Piper said "BRING THE LITTLE BLACK MAN". Piper is awesome!!!!

[rkevo55]

When Mean Gene called this, "...the tip of the iceberg," I'd be hard-pressed to believe he really had any idea as to just what this night did for professional wrestling. In essence, it led to the first "Wrestlemania" PPV, which changed wrestling forever.

[theez14]

This is honestly great television.

[dw1985]

good stuff..old school WWF rocks!

[battlestarmarc]

rk925, I agree 100% with you, Piper was in a class by himself as a heel.

[BlueSkyeReynolds]

Damn, Piper was INSANE!

[grumpypant]

Oh Hot Rod man, I love 'ya...

YOU'RE THE GREATEST!!!

[grumpypant]

For those who aren't sure what Roddy means by "da planes!!!..." at Danny DaVito, here it is: Back in the 70s, there was a TV show called "Fantasy Island" about a vacationing resort island staring the late great Ricardo Montalban; at the openning of the show, an airplane delivering tourists arrives and a midget co-host named Tattoo (played by another late great Herve Vollichaize) rings a tower bell shouting , "dee plane! dee plane!!!"...It became a popular moto for small people for many years...

[at1212b]

@grumpypant cool! thanks for the info.

Mann, the days when Tv and Movies truly contributed to real great entertainment. Shows that everybody could watch.. not just on HBO and all the swearing n stuff.

[spawnabhi]

wow...piper is awsome...i think piper had the same attitude and mic skills , wht austin did several years after...piper rocked in those days...

[6021diesel]

Great heel promo by Piper!! little black man, da planes..lol...Classic Piper!!

[creerulz]

pipers promo is incredible

[vultureguy33]

Absolutely incredible. Piper could cut a promo like none other.

[lakecumberland]

I think that is the first time I have seen Mean Gene actually look down at someone when he was talking to them, ha!

[TheMashwatcher585]

I`ll gladly put an X where the T is lol.

[TVfanfanatic]

Roddy Piper vs Hogan was simply THE BEST WWF Feud in the 80's!!!

[Freebleeper]

Danny Devito/WWE(F)= AWESOME!

[invasionsend]

"Wonderful, wonderful...da planes."

[GLazz85]

@invasionsend LOL that was awesome especially on the fly like that

[MMNemesis17]

@invasionsend ---LMAO!!

[MrBavaria]

Awesome Mr. Piper!!!

[rk9295]

No heel in history could touch 1985 Roddy Piper.

[fjccommish]

@rk9295 Listen to that guy! And he's doing it wrapped in a towel.

[carter2]

lol @ the little black man

[stevenhigney]

As the first half of this with Lauper, Mr. T, Lou Albano, Hulk Hogan, Joe Piscopo, Andy Warhol & Billy Squier wasn't good enough, then we get DeVito, then Piper totally dissing DeVito and calling Mr. T "The little black guy" (bald guys face behind Piper is priceless when he hears that). God Piper is great, and this 13 minutes of post-match interviews was wrestling GOLD. "God was he WET!"

[1975tooto]

These guys did a real good job cutting their own promos!

[at1212b]

@1975tooto Mann, they ALL cut their own stuff. Unscripted, just came on camera. The difference was if you wanted to make it to that level, you already had many years in the territories where only the creme de la creme rose to the top. Basically survival of the fittest. So by this time, they were already rolling.. gawd how I miss those days.

[70snova]

piper all buffed up.

[MalnourishedGoat]

"The planes," oh man... Piper = genius

[MJAY4000]

oh yeah
