Piper was and always will be my favorite wrestler. I remember when he was in Georgia and every Saturday at 6 05 Gordon Solie doing the "play by play" and Roddy adding color commentary! I wish that I would have recorded every show! Hogan? Flair? Forget about it! Flair was always talking about limosuines and women and Hogan about vitamins but you NEVER knew what Piper was going to say on the mic or do in the ring! He was and always will be the greatest!
@Puddi77 wah wah Flair loves wrestling... plenty of people retire then realise they love it too much and have to come back.. plenty of people retire and come back.. I dont understand why this is offensive to you..
@infernityzero2011 I Heard Roddy point out in an interview, and hard to argue with, The reason Hogan became such a big star (as you point out) was because of him. He said " At the time people didn't pay to see hulk hogan, he wasn't really over, they paid to see that Obnoxious loud mouth Roddy Piper get his ass kicked , Hogan just happened to be the guy to kick it." it is so true, Hogan was Champ but not totally over yet. It was kicking pipers ass that put him over the top popularity wise.
People can talk about The Rock, Steve Austin etc but Rowdy Roddy Piper is the greatest Mic worker of all time. No one could trash talk like no one else, he virtually invented Wrestling trash talk. Piper was the spark that lit Wrestlemania, people watched to see him get his ass kicked. Piper is THE man.
On that night most popular wrestler in history (Hulk Hogan) and three most hated wrestlers in history (Nikolai Volkoff, The Iron Sheik and Roddy Piper) were inducted. And all three were cheered.
@Fireproofretz Please don't start going "THERE"...Because then the obvious inquiry of Where "HE" has decided to "RECIDE" Now will come up......Where "HE" has Decided to "LIVE for "MOST" of his Life will...Come Up....Get??? Got??? Good.
That's right folk, the guys said it right ..... It's entertainment and nothing more. Yes, they hurt themselves more doing their act. You had to love it from the start.
People today remember Hogan, but Hogan was nothing without a rival. Much of his Hogan's fame, can be attributed to Piper being the "other half" of the marriage so to speak.
@Drackkor see if you can find Andre's A&E biograpghy. one of his freinds mentioned a time after being lipped off in a bar Andre went to leave and the 4 guys doing it were in their car still lipping off,and andre flipped the car over onto it's roof with the guys in it. Hogan said he never lifted weights so not even andre new exactly how strong he actually was. but IIFC said he probably would have broke every world record if he had wanted to try.
my favorite Piper era was prior to him turning face. the short hair, him insulting everyone and everything...just great. also, his off the charts ego like how he would claim how handsome he was. i think he influenced me in a very profound manner in how i talk.
@NWpowerhouse85 Flying around the ring doing what those wrestlers do is entertainment, not wrestling... picking a guy up with one hand is extraordinary strength. Big difference. Not unless of course you know something about this clip I don't?
@LordHeath1972 Apparently I have these two tools that you don't have access to---awareness and common sense. Piper jumped up, you moron, and it's not like it's even hard to see that, no one on earth can pick up a 220lb man with one hand, the strongest men in the world do front dumbbell raises with 70lb dumbbells for sets of 6-8. Get a clue.
P.S. Andre had Acromegaly--Giantism, which is known in the medical world to make people with it very weak for how large they are.
@NWpowerhouse85 looks like some prick (you) doesn't like it when people don't agree with them. Oh well. So they resort to calling people names (moron) and making childish comments about an individual. The only part of your comment which was interesting was the last part. Why can't you just be civilzed with other people instead of resorting to being all big-chested and snotty? For my lack of 'awareness and common sense' I guess you too are lacking a personality.
@LordHeath1972 ...or maybe it's because 22 people liked my comment and whereas you have nothing to print worth reading because you are too busy finding fault with everybody and their opinions all the time? Eh moron?
@LordHeath1972 This isn't a matter of agreement, because this isn't an opinion. An opinion would be something akin to---"Andre sucks." "No he doesn't, he's awesome." = Opinion.
---No human has the power to lift up 220lbs of weight in front of them with one arm---this is a FACT.
I'm not a prick, I just don't like foolish, gullible idiots like you, who believe anything you see and everything you're told. You just don't like the facts.
If you deserved respect, I'd have given it to you.
@NWpowerhouse85 or maybe it's because 22 people liked my comment and whereas you have nothing to print worth reading because you are too busy finding fault with everybody and their opinions all the time? Eh moron? Funny how when I go to block your negative comments I find you hiding behind a channel which is unavailable isn't it - coward.
@NWpowerhouse85 Weak for his size??? what planet are you living on? In practically every interview with people that new him they say even andre didn't even know his own strength. He took a four door car with four punks in it and flipped it over on it's roof with little effort. He would pick up and hold one side of a car so his friends could change a flat tire. He was incredibly strong, hogan figured if he went into weight lifting he would hold EVERY record.
@bigrigbob2010 I live in the real world, and I don't believe in hearsay. If Andre was that strong, flat out, for his own hype, he could have, and WOULD HAVE, entered some lifting competitions and blown the lifting world away if he was able to turn over a car with FOUR people(God, you're dumb) with little effort.
Too bad the medical world says otherwise about people with Acromegaly, I'm sure Andre was a strong guy, not nearly as strong as these downright absurd claims would indicate.
@NWpowerhouse85 Believe what you want, there are many witnesses including the poice that showed up in montreal to arrest the 4 gentlemen in question for causing a disturbance and flipping their own car over. the refused to believe the men when they said a giant man had flipped it over. the cops told them one man could not pick up a car. The witnesses laughed because they knew they were telling the truth, however they were acting like such scumbags no one let the police know it was the truth.
@NWpowerhouse85 The people who talked about it did so not to say how strong andre was but that he was an easy going guy, It was they ONLY time they ever saw andre lose his temper. Check out his biographys that were done by outside sources they ALL confirm the same thing and have nothing at all to gain by making up stories (and why would anyone hype up a dead man anyhow it wouldn't help ticket sales as you can't go to see him anyhow)
@bigrigbob2010 But yeah, the medical world, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, their studies don't mean shit, because a bunch of lying, shady druggies, who are still trying to build up their business, their stories, which, might I add, have NO PHYSICAL EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER, their stories trump the medical facts.
And you were actually talking in a condescending tone to ME. Douchebag. This is as bad is the toolbags who think Hulk Hogan, Warrior, Bravo, etc could actually bench 700+ lbs.
@RColo74 oops , he said in his book he was also worried Andre may change his mind about doing the honours for him. If he had there wasjnothing he could do but get beat and possibly beaten up.m Andre didn't like him for a long time and used to bounce empty beer cans off the back of his head on bus trips. it took a lot of taking abuse for Andre to finally accept him and for them to become friends in the end.
