“I’m here to take vitamins and bury wrestlers; and I’m all out of vitamins brother”-
Hull Kogan
Hulk not a steroid user hogan
Shut up Jobber!
@@HulksterInHeaven vitamins create 24 in pythons 💪
@pleaseshutup7053 don't forget to say your prayers brother
I can remember watching Hogan win the title from Iron Sheik 1/23/1984. In June of 1984 Piper cracked Snuka with the coconut on Piper’s Pit. This was a fantastic time to be a child and watch all of these events unfold.
I remember it well. Tens of millions of children watched this stuff together through the 80’s completely captured by real life supermen. It was pretty incredible.
I started watching in 1983 and grew up in the best wrestling era
I got into it in early 1986 . Just before Mania 2. Still my favorite era .
Sadly that coconut caused Snuka to go ape shit on his girlfriend and murk her
Roddy was fearless. This is the same guy who produced white heat by claiming to play the Mexican National Anthem on the bagpipes and play La Cucaracha. This is the same guy who coaxed a fan to come at him in the ring armed with a knife and stabbed Roddy. Piper was one of a kind. He knew how to work the audience but also knew what his worth was. I wish Roddy was still here today.
"Hogan. I know you are watching. If it wasn't for this guy. You would be nothing. He kept cutting my interviews. Every time I talked about your bald head." - Roddy Piper
This was the first feud I ever remembered watching wrestling as a kid.
You got to enjoy this feud in real time as a kid? I grew up with Cena vs Orton 😭😭
@@alo4912 I literally grew up alongside the Hulkamania/Rock’n’Wrestling era. The first wrestling event I ever went to live was “The Big Event” at Exhibition stadium in Toronto. It was headlined by Hogan Vs. Orndorff.
Lucky! My first feud was Macho-Jake
@@ericgaudet497 I grew up with Flair vs. Dusty, tully vs. magnum, etc.
@@alo4912 Cena vs Orton was pretty damn good tbh. But it should've ended at Breaking Point 2009 since that was the perfect way to end it. They kept it going and then it got stale. Imo, they should've ended it at Breaking Point 2009 because that was a great match that was brutal and was an emotional rollercoaster and a shining example of what modern wrestling should look like when it comes to being "Brutal" and "Hardcore". And it capped off an emotional multi-year feud. But they had to ruin it...
Piper in this era was just FIRE. i was kid but awed at how unhinged he seemed. he seemed truly unpredictable.
Best heel ever!!!
I genuinely don't think there is a better wrestling podcast than this. Like it or not Jim's the best, and Last is the perfect partner...you get this content nowhere. This guy lives wrestling
Maybe throw JR into the mix?
His politics stink. Last is worse
I agree. I like Jim's political stances also, and I think Brian Last is the bee's knees.
JR has good stories but he's not funny like JC
@@blinkyjedi7771😂 and yet... Here you are. Taking time to troll comments... again... Always makes me laugh 😅 we don't have much of a life do we?
War to Settle the Score was pure electricity. What a tremendous crowd environment.
When you say "Snuka problems," you mean manslaughter, right?
That thumbnail ->"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass!... And I'm all out of bubblegum" (They Live 1988)
This artwork is like 90% of the way to being the greatest ever. Jimmy needs to be holding some sunglasses to put it over
And Piper should be out of bubblegum.
Piper should be FORCING a bloody Jimmy to wear the sunglasses
Your guy's respect for Piper . Thank you.
Artwork ain't workin for me brother 😂
"Mr.Triple" Paul Corndorff.
Listening to Jim sell that mattress was like hearing Norm MacDonald selling the Mangrate, hilarious stuff !
The stuff about Piper never truly acquiescing to Hogan makes me so happy, and it makes me also so happy that my other favorite, Angle, also got the better of him.
Yes,I also loved that Piper was a big enough star to not lay down for Hogan and not get fired over it.That shows how much he was worth .You could see it really bothered Hogan.
You think wrestling is real. 🤯
@@RG-lr4pk we’re talking about how he didn’t have enough influence to bully Piper or Angle.
I mean, Piper was over af, Angle was too but also who is going to believe him beating an Olympic Gold Medalist
@@countof3everybodyOD Doing business is not bullying. Wtf 🤣
@@RG-lr4pk you’re bad at this
I was at the Brawl To End It All and The War To Settle The Score.. i was 9..
Piper was freakin great.
Hogan being portrayed as an alien from They Live is fitting considering how he's spent his life lying to the masses about who he truly is!🤣
Having an old school guy like Jim review old school rivals like this is fantastic.
Jim is the forest gump of wrestling
Hogan saw Piper do a promo in Portland and said, “Man, you’re one rowdy brother.” So they were originally going to call him Rowdy Brother Piper, but eventually settled on Roddy. Allegedly.
Say what?…he was “Rowdy” Roddy Piper long before he ever came to the WWF…I don’t know where you heard or came up with what you just said…SMH 🙄🤦♂️🤷
@@charlesgreen8703 Lol, it’s a “Hogan lies a lot” joke.
@@charlesgreen8703 You got your story, Hulk has his. Brother.
They should have bonded over their love for sniffing. Piper loved sniffing coke, Hogan loves sniffing his own farts.
This thumbnail art is amazing. 😂🔥
"Corndorff" might be my new favorite phrase! 😂😂
Welp, this Travis thumbnail easily just worked its way into my top 10 list of Corny Drive-Thru thumbnails. Probably top 5 even.
1000%, clicked in just to say similar! Hahahah 😂🔥
If Corny was wearing sunglasses it'd be top 5 lol
Please help me with the Hogan picture. I'm quite can't figure it out
@@cryospiral terminator I believe
You can shit on their wcw feud all u want, but they drew a fuck ton of money in1996 so people definitely wanted to see it
When Orndroff fired the Brain it was his second face turn, after Heenan brought in Rick Rude. The first time is when Orton and Hot Rod jumped him on SNME, Hulkster for the save. Then turning on Hulk at the end of a tag match against Bundy and Studd. Leading to one the best cage matches I remember from my childhood.
He fired him twice
Wait, I tell a lie. It wasn't hogan, it was Mr.T that made the save when Ace and Hot Rod jumped him.
They Live is one of my all time favorites
Hulk Hogan was voiced by Brad Garrett who would become Robert Barrone in Everybody Loves Raymond
Really? no shlt? Must of been a decent gig for him as he would have been pretty young
@@BeeBumper it's a fact!!!
And James Avery aka Uncle Phil was jyd
"I showered for so long" lmao Jim is the best for commercials 😂
Very nice nod to "They Live" in the artwork. That is probably the best movie ever made by an active wrestler. Certainly better than anything Hogan ever did (not thinking about Rocky III here, because that wasn't his movie, it was Sly's).
They Live totally hits home today. Hogan did “entertaining” movies for better for worse.
Hogan played hos role very good though on Rocky.
Big thumbs up not just for the detailed rundown, but for the brilliant advertisement at the end.
I don’t believe for a second that Hogan would have gone back and forth with Piper had Piper let him pin him. He sure didn’t do that for anyone else lol.
Neither did Piper
@@lrg123100 it's okay for Piper to lose clean less than the biggest star ever because reasons
@@RG-lr4pk it would have been better for Piper lose clean, but the fact that Piper was protecting his image, just like Hogan was.
@@RG-lr4pk it is, because he wasn't hogging the championship or preventing new stars from rising. That is actually very different regardless of your sarcasm.
There was a cartoon in the 80s. Roddy was the main vilian.
Piper not doing the job was why Piper was good. He was different,from every other heel, especially in the WWF at the time, which was very pro-face. The one bad thing about territory era wrestling was predictability. The business model dictated that faces always won, or got cheated. The NWA was a different model. There model was “heel champ cheats local baby face,every time”. It got old and predictable.
Whenever they do the "Raw goes retro" shows, it's the old MSG setup that I want to see, not this overproduced spectacle that they have now
Piper into wwf as a manager because he was still healing from the damage done to his ear by Greg Valentine in that dog collar match.
Exactly, he still couldn't keep his equilibrium.
Yeah but VInce also had reservations about his size and that played into as much until Roddy got the Pit, then VInce got it
That's the popular story but Pioer worked NWA shows after the busted eardrum. Seems like a cover story for Vince thinking Puper was too small.
Roddy Piper Alcatraz gimmick it was great😮😂😂🏆
Roddy once said "you'll pay $30 to see Hogan win, but you'll pay $100 to see Piper get his ass kicked."
Rowdy Roddy Piper was one of the best heels of all time. A dirty brawler with the deadly air of a viper who would take on anyone.... and one of the best wits since Heenan, he was able to get under your skin like nobody else. As big of an asshole as he was, he was also entertaining which made him even better.
I think Piper's only peer as a heel was Ric. Who was a virtuoso heel in a different way.
Trip over the fan....I'm done 😂😂🤣🤣😭😭
Alexander Hammerstone & MJF would be great rivalry.
Love the "They Live" artwork for this one Travis! Including the bubblegum reference haha
He's Rowdy Roddy PEEPer. - Godfrey Jones.
Two points: Roddy had worked in LA and Houston among other markets before WWF. He was so good. And i am still amazed by the savant like memories Jim and Brian have on this stuff.
I love listening to these podcasts with a few beers and a Corndorff.
The ad read for Helix needs to be in the next commercials omnibus
Lou Albino was a star before his time.. loved Lou’s promos
I'm wondering if calling him "Albino" is a heel comments tactic, or just typical babyface bad spelling
Loved these guys
Piper's one of my favorites.
I was blessed to see him live,worth every dollar of admission to the front row section.R.I.P Pipes.
Love that Cornie has no fear of the sponsor 😆
Jim had me crying laughing with the Helix promo 😂😂😂
Hogan as Mr. America pin Piper in a PPV after Wrestlemania 19.
Remember, though…next week’s Steve Austin “Rivals” episodes aren’t new. They’re re-runs.
The They Live artwork was great! 😂
This was a great Rivalry Episode for the most part, and a top tier review of it by you two as always with providing further context. I gotta say though the top highlight of this video was the advert spot you two did at the end... Funniest stuff I've heard in a while. Jim honestly is a comedic legend, never stop being you Jim! hahaha
Looking forward to this one
They forgot about Piper's program and King of the Ring match with Lawler in the Summer of 1994.
Great Promos and Build Up between Hot Rod and The King…but it was an awful match…Both guys are legit legends but they just didn’t have the in ring chemistry to have a great match… they didn’t forget about it…but there’s a reason that they didn’t mention it…I think Lawler and Piper(when he was still alive)…would like to forget about that one
Man that thumbnail is crazy lol 😂
After this ad spot I think Helix might be re-thinking this relationship 🤣
Paul Corndorff 😂
Piper was the greatest.
Hogan really was the heel all along. We just didn't want to see it.
I knew it all the time. I was a Heenan mark.
Love the hogan ones
I about phuking died at the artwork wholy schit!
We need a Travis Heckle artwork of 'Corndorff' 😂
...i showered for so long... commercials getting funny again...😅
Piper made Hogan look really bad at Halloween Havoc 💯 one of Piper's coldest moments
Watched Cornette since I was a young man. Have nothing but respect for his knowledge and experience.
Does anyone know how I can watch those A&E's shows? I'm in the U.K and dont think we can watch them in this country. Would love to watch those wrestling ones specifically. Also I hope they do a Jake the Snake vs Randy Savage rivals episode.
Website
They are on TH-cam
Omg, Jim's Reads are legendary
In retrospect Roddy was the real champion in this rivalry but little did we realize it then.
If the Joker from Batman were a real person he would've been Hot Rod!!
This was a great rivals documentary anyone Remember When Hogan and piper Wrestled at Judgment day 2003 20-years ago that was crazy stuff
Hi Ben 👋 those two rekindled their rivalries right when WCW went belly up.
@@williammitchell4417 Yep
Brian n Corny= Heenan n Monsoon 😁😁😁
Lol at Jim marking out about lights on riding lawn mowers. Now I wonder has he ever needed to mow? (I'm not hating I'm curious)
"Cardboard is good enough for them." If only I could introduce Jim and Brian to Nintendo Labo.
When The Ultimate Warrior entered the scene in late 1987 he brought the reality of it way down. The bigger he got the more cartoon like it became and he dragged the standards down with him. Not gonna say he wasn't a big draw of sorts tickets & merch wise but he just sprinkled hokey dust on everything he touched.
Talk about piper singing lacocarocha.. to crowd in Mexico
My god that helix matress skit messed me up JIM your insanity fantastic.🤘😆🤘
The weirdest thing I learned was that the Roddy finally actually put someone to sleep in the sleeper hold, and it was Hulk Hogan, and it was at Starrcade and how do they sell a PPV that is suppose to be the biggest of the year and have a non-title match in the main event? Not only do I not remember any of that, I can't believe they sold a non-title match. I didn't think they even did non-title matches after 1986.
I don't think they acknowledged that it was a non-title match until the show was going on.
They didn't say anything about the match being non-title in the build up. As a Piper fan since 1979, I did not care. Piper never needed a World title to be the main event. Being Champ means you have to job at some point. Piper didn't job, not even to Jack Brisco for the Mid Atlantic title. Valentine is the only job he ever did once getting to Crockett other than losing that Mid Atlantic belt (probably to Steamboat, don't recall specifically who) until way later as a part time to Brett. So in almost 15 years three clean loses to Greg Valentine, Brett Hart and (likely) Ricky Steamboat. That is Andre level booking, for a guy with a mouth.
It was the best-selling PPV they ever had up to that point. The story was that it wasn't about the title, it was personal, and they barely mentioned the title wasn't on the line. People were very annoyed he didn't win the belt, by all accounts, but they loved the victory so much it wasn't that huge a deal.
Was this one before or after the Sheik review on the show?
Disappointed Travis didn't draw 'Paul Corndorff'
Bret and Austin was wrestling gold
Love this picture ...
I enjoy hearing Cornette pronounce Snuka and Konnan pronounce Rampage
What about Hogan saying he has a voice mail from Piper two days after he died. :o
Im still waiting for Corny to review that released tape of how hogan was all game for whatever at the bash at the beach with Double J. Cornamania will run wild on that one brother!
The first time I heard of Piper he punched somebody with a roll of quarters.
The fact that Roddy was never WWE champ really pisses me off,meanwhile Miz was not only world champ but he was in the main event at Mania & not CM Punk or Rollins pisses me off more,that's unbelievable.
He never needed the title…that’s how over he was. He’s one of just a small handful of guys to be that over
On the other hand ,I tbink hes the only wwf star in history who was never pinned
itts ok man...nowadays the belt is given to guys to help get them over. Before it was worth more. Nowadays its just a prop There are guys with 10 plus title reigns and not one of them are better than Hot Rod
Yeah I noticed they didn't mention snuka. I was watching for that like many were
The Ultimate Warrior and Nash avoided the leg drop as well
Paul Corndorff 😂😂😂
Jim could make avocado on toast interesting!
"The referee will never see it!"
"Corndorff" is the new "Covfefe".
Piper/Hogan fuef was a big part of my childhood.Alwsys wanted Piper to win
I met PiPper he was a nice guy..
Give the hot tag to Corndorff, baby.
The way this divulges into the mattress ad 😂😂😂
Amazing thumbnail.
