Roddy Piper's WWF Returns 1986

[dapunisher1000]

As great as piper was he never had a great finishing move

[craigandjolene]

I thoroughly enjoyed this face-turn, but I still insist that he was at his best when Piper was a heel, - but a lot of people finally started to 'get' how awesome Piper was and how much respect he deserved, too. Piper was, however, throughout most his WWF tenure, underutilized; his legitimate in-ring skills were scrapped in favor of a brawling style more suitably associated with the raving lunatic he portrayed, but fact is Piper COULD really actually wrestle - WELL! He's an all-time great!

[flipgood89]

that was fucked up of piper to bury that jobber like that. Hand tied behind your back? for real? Weird to hear Vince say "professional wrestling"

[VersionNSX]

are all these staged?

[John6yt]

Piper didn't change his style of wrestling at all when he turned face, the only difference is Vince and Bruno's chuckling over Piper's antics instead of being outraged

[bigmike7379]

yes wrestling is scripted but Piper had the ability to get the crowd going like few ever could and he was a golden gloves boxer in Canada as a teeager and was very successful so he knew how to throw

[gymdog45]

Love when he blows snot rockets on that guy.

[chickenlil180]

Lol I'll beat you with one hand in my but.

[acedast]

One hand behind his back...he's the man!

[sokomokomo]

great moments of wwf

[BlueSkyeReynolds]

What's with the narration? Was this from a Roddy Piper video or something?

[Dotheoz1]

@BlueSkyeReynolds Best of the WWF vol.10

[BlueSkyeReynolds]

@Dotheoz1 Thanks.

[D2Kprime]

@BlueSkyeReynolds :  Yeah really. Gene ruined the intro to this with too much unnecessary dialogue.

Great Piper moment in a lifetime of great moments

[lockenjr]

I remember watching roddy and adrian on portland wrestling in 1979. Adrian was a great face and the fans of portland oregon loved him even has playboy buddy rose sent him packing in a loser leave town match. Adrians last portland interview is on here and it is bitter sweet as he thanks the fans...

[landrykkb]

@lockenjr None of us watching WWF then were aware of Rowdy Roddy Piper's history with Adrian Adonis pre-WWF.

[NICKTUBER80]

Yeah man, lets make fun of someones misfortune, Truth is that adrian adonis in a few of his matches performed moves and combos that were technically brilliant even by todays standards.. fat slob? maybe physically but to deny his ability is ignoring it

[NICKTUBER80]

Say what you want about adrian Adonis his ability wasnt limited

[EmperorTaebok]

is ability to stop eating and drive a van properly certainly were

[mrplayboy2u]

@EmperorTaebok fuck off

[EmperorTaebok]

@mrplayboy2u

Wow, with a quick wit and promo skills like that I'm surprised Vince isn't beating your door down

[monkeyman0776]

dudes east west connection best tag team in awa adrian and jesse ventura class

[wrestlingfan4ever78]

and how can u say a fat man with limited ability is more exciting than rowdy?

[justinklein]

limited ability? haha whatever kid.

[mrplayboy2u]

@wrestlingfan4ever78 limited ability??

[lockenjr]

in late 79 playboy buddy rose beat adrian in a loser leave town match in portland oregon..

[southplnk]

@mrplayboy2u fuck you

[countbloodula]

roddy piper is gay

[SNAKEEYESSAM]

great video.

[ideveloper1]

This was my favorite Roddy moment. Great improv skills.

[SamuraiYattaro]

Gotta love the HotRod

[justinklein]

Not if you're an Adonis fan.

or if you have good taste.

[ideveloper1]

I'm a fan of both

[wrestlingfan4ever78]

adrian adonis was a fat homo with weak ring skills

[justinklein]

You dumb redneck, anyone with any taste knows Adonis was better than Piper

[wrestlingfan4ever78]

you are fucking moron are u serious? what arenas with records did adonis fill? go play butt darts and keep being a dumb mark

[justinklein]

Im far from dumb my friend. Obviously I have better taste than you.

Piper was a stuttering slobbering fool with very little finess in the ring. Adonis was more entertaining and more talented. Period.

[wrestlingfan4ever78]

more entertaining? again which arenas did he fill? listen to the crowd and any crowd when piper enters a ring thats reality not your dumb opinion................

[VinnyV444]

You have to understand Justinklein is a flaming rump ranger, and a dumb as a rock one at that. Therefore his idiotic opinion is blinded by his homo agenda, and his mark comments are the result. This asshole is just too fucking stupid to realize Keith Frankie (aka: Adrian Adonis) was simply playing a character, which was a knockoff of Gorgeous George from a generation earlier.

[TheMachoMadness]

Preach it Vinny.

[bigmike7379]

@VinnyV444 yes and after this stint he went to Japan and dyed his hair back dark and dropped about 75 pounds and was getting his life back on track when he died and did anyone ever see his wife? Adonis had a GORGEOUS wife too bad many never saw just hop talented this guy Adrian Adonis was if u guys get the chance look at some old AWA footage when he was part of the east west connection with Jesse Ventura

[Cavillier1970]

@bigmike7379 I think you can argue the same about Adonis when he was teaming with DIck Murdoch as the North/South Connection. I think if he had been able to keep the wieght off, but still dyed his hair he could of been a clone of Gorgeous George. Too bad the WWE dropped him, becuase a Adonis / Beefcake fued was looming and wouldve been a good one.

[wrestlingfan4ever78]

and why am i a redneck b/c i dont like adrian adonis? wow u really are a moron

[justinklein]

F you and everyone giving you thumbs up.

[VinnyV444]

Watch this you pole smoking fucktard mark...

watch?v=jmlkOieUcmQ

Piper gave the eulogy at Adonis' funeral. Ooops!

Again, go shit in your Flower Shop wig you jism brained rump ranger.

[lockenjr]

I remember watching roddy and adrian on portland wrestling in 1979. Adrian was a great face and the fans of portland oregon loved him even has playboy buddy rose sent him packing in a loser leave town match. Adrians last portland interview is on here and it is bitter sweet as he thanks the fans...Of course Roddy is a national holiday literally in the northwest...

[southplnk]

@lockenjr i think those rose colored glasses of yours area little too rosey

[lockenjr]

@southplnk your comments made no sense but anyway I am a portland wrestling historian and everything I said is true. Roddy was still a face here when the rest of the country hated him in 85 when him and Hogan blew up the nation...

[mrplayboy2u]

@VinnyV444 Are you really that ignorant or do you just pretend?

[VinnyV444]

Nice gimmick to ripoff Adrian Adonis. Of course one look at your physique and LIMITED ABILITY and it's no wonder why ripping off Piper is out of your league.

[mrplayboy2u]

@VinnyV444 Actually know-it-all, it's not a rip off of Adonis. Nothing about my gimmick or character is gay.

I am smart enough however to realize Adonis was a great talent. And Piper was actually not that great, so I wouldnt want to rip him off.

[mrplayboy2u]

@VinnyV444 Also I love how you insult my physique when you don't dare show yours. Ashamed of yourself?

[romans52345]

@VinnyV444 what league?? wrestling is fake!!!! anybody could do anything in wrestling it is all staged!!!!

[Purrrple]

@VinnyV444 The irony floors me. You sir are so beneath stupid it hurts my brain. First of all, Adonis' character was designed to enrage raging homophobes like you and it worked, he drew insane heatr from it. Second, Piper, in SEVERAL promos leading up to WM III, stated his main beef with Adonis was his sleazy playing on people's predjudices to get over. Piper wasn't anti-gay, he was anti-homophobic shit-disturbing. You're a fucking moron buddy.

[un619]

Piper is the best..
