"Rowdy" Roddy Piper is one of the most legendary professional wrestlers of all time. The rock n' wrestling boom period in 1980's WWF was built primarily around the Rowdy Roddy Piper vs Hulk Hogan feud.
Between War to Settle the Score, Wrestlemania 1 and The Wrestling Classic, Piper vs Hogan was essential to everything WWF in 1985. So how come by Wrestlemania 3 Piper was on his way out of the World Wrestling Federation?

They arnt really dead as long as we remember them I...HAVE...THE...POWER .......🤘😜🤘
👣
Watched again during my quarantine.
Piper is one of those guys that didn't need a championship to be relevant.
@Joe S Yep lol
You are right on that Piper is one of the greatest wrestlers was there
@@deanieperkins2230 *there was
Facts 💯👍🏿
He did not need a belt he did have the intercontinental title and had a big program with cousin Bret Hart and the title helped he would have been massive with a world title
Piper never really took any bullshit off anyone .
I thought pat was the one that was doing piping , he just needed the pipe 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@n\a lol he is from Saskatchewan
@n\a en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roddy_Piper
Rowdy was a class act. They Live.. classic..
I miss Hot Rod....was one of the first heels I didn't like..He did his job well
Glad he made the choice that he did. They Live is a masterpiece man
Awesome Movie-Documentary lol!! Just found His Characters toy figure at store. Couldnt believe there was a Action Figure of Rod from "They Live!" 35 bucks or so and very realistic. Awesome piece, just wish it were possible to be signed by Him! RIP Legend
John Carpenters best film IMO.
They Live was an awesome movie. Never got the credit. Roddy Piper's interviews are always entertaining. RIP Roddy Piper
@@greatesttoysevermade3693 Incredible movie but I still gotta put Halloween and The Thing a hair above it.
@@craigyoung4156 I don't necessarily agree with your "credit" assessment; it's a highly regarded cult classic and I often hear ppl talking about the Piper/Keith David fight scene to this day... Not to mention, the bubblegum line.
Always loved Piper!
He was always considered a home town hero, in the Pacific Northwest.
He was never a heel, that I can recall, when he was up there.
Such a nice guy to the fans up there.
God rest his soul.
I came here to chew bubblegum and listen to one of the greatest wrestler's of all time, and I'm all out of bubble gum. Rip Rowdy. Miss you man
I simply cannot express how much I miss Hot Rod!
Piper knew how to cut a promo, that’s for sure. As D-Von Dudley once said about how great Pipers promos were: “I remember wanting to reach through the TV and strangle him, but at the same time, I loved what he did”.
If you watch the A&E biography that just came out it shows the work and time Hot Rod put into his promos. He had legal pads full of stuff he came up with. "I came here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I'm all out of bubblegum" was all Piper.
The beginning needs a fucking translator. Usually I can understand fast talking and mumbling but the wrestling jargon mixed in. Damn
He had ADHD
Totally agreed lmfao
years of blow and whatever else fried his brain unfortunately, still loved him
Roddy's rambling are priceless
Love these piper interview clips!
Now I see why Piper's time as color commentator after Ventura left wasn't all that great. Piper simply had no heart in it. He still wanted to wrestle and keep the spotlight on himself. As for his reputation of not doing jobs for other prominent wrestlers, there's only one guy he never did a job for. Hulk Hogan. Piper made it very clear why. He didn't want to tarnish his own reputation by letting Hogan beat him on TV during a time when Piper was becoming the hottest heal in wrestling. From a financial standpoint, that was a very smart move because it helped to push an angle of two goliaths from different ends of the spectrum who easily had the audience in the palms of their hands. Without Hogan and Piper, the WWF in the 1980's would not have been as good as it was.
I agree Hogan and Piper made the WWF at time.
The older pro wrestlers were very conscious of their personas and doing a job for someone was not cool. It didn't mean just losing to someone. It meant letting them beat you pretty quick and easy and these guys spent years building up their reputation and characters. Then, all of a sudden, if they do job the fans are like, they just got whipped by so and so. Then they don't expect you to do good. Then, the managment doesn't expect it. Then they expect you to job for this person and that person, and then your career's in the dumper.
Piper rarely did jobs. He probably could have made more $, but didn’t do prolonged program with Hogan. Everyone else who did - they dropped hard after run vs. Hogan was done: even TOP guys like Orndorff, DiBiase, Mr. Perfect - only Savage came back from the post-Hogan burial. Don’t underestimate how he literally rose from the ashes like a Phoenix. And really it took reuniting with Elizabeth (and being at right place/right time to slide into program with Flair at WM8 since Hogan had to bolt - steroid trial). Piper protected his character hard and when he did the rub, see Bret Hart, it meant more.
But absolutely right about why he didn’t work on color commentary-their job is to get over guys on screen. Ventura did it without you realizing it (constantly bashing Tito Santana but they were best friends and it got attention to Tito) - Heenan was a master class of doing it. Henning gave Michaels the nickname Heartbreak Kid.... Piper was still about being wrestler first as commentary.
hottest heal
Yeah they should've just let him do his thing. Might've been great up to the Attitude Era.
I still have a copy of They Live on VHS.
Me too!!!! Just a classic movie
Roddy Piper and Bobby Heenan are my two favorite wrestling personalities ever. Which is crazy because as a kid I hated both of them. Real talent in wrestling often means convincing fans they should hate you.
When I think of the greats Piper is there. He was much like flair in the sense that he was old enough that he transitioned between the old school bruisers and fit in perfectly with the more important talkers. He had it all
Rowdy is in the top 5 of greatest gimmicks...
The Joker/Riddler during his heel run.
One of the greatest characters in the biz if not the greatest!! Love him or hate him the mans a legend! R.I.P.
Rowdy Piper was my favorite wrestler. He made things fun. He didn't take it too seriously, but you know he was a bad ass. He had heart, which is why he was the only heel I really liked and followed.
RIP Hot Rod - You were always one of my favorites. Pipers Pit was very entertaining.
God Bless
Piper had chemistry with everyone he worked on color commentary regardless of whether it was with Vince McMahon, Gorilla Monsoon or Bobby "The Brain" Heenan.

4:31 - For the record, the Hulk/Roddy vs Flair/Justice matches also took place at Chicagoland's Rosemont Horizon in 1992- I was there!
Piper is one of the best wrestlers out there, he is funny, a real entertainer.
He was awesome. Really miss that dude. Actually a damn good actor, sadly underrated. Anything he did was entertaining as hell. RIP
Wonderful interview!! Loved Rowdy Roddy Piper!
Piper talking about Carpenter and They Live- hell yeah!
I'd like to hear about Hell Comes To Frogtown too.
For sure! Love that crazy movie! Piper was great no matter what he did.
@@darthroden Brandon's Cult Movie Reviews just did a review on Hell Comes to Frogtown a week ago. I'm about to watch it now. =^.^=
God Bless Roddy Piper.
Pipper was my favorite when grown up
Roddy started every conversation with the complete intention of getting to the end of it, it never happened mind you, not once.
Dude looks like Micheal J Fox here
I was just about to comment on that, but notice yours....he sure does remind me of fox here!
Him and Bill Paxton could be twins
He is Canadian
"They Live" is better than "No Holds Barred" nothing against Hogan, but Carpenter was more advanced in his ideas.
Piper had the best movie, although Jesse was in Predator.
I liked no holds barred but they lived is way better , wayyyyyyy better .
They Lived was great and he wasn’t just a smaller role like Ventura did (still all due credit to Ventura for his roles in Predator & Running Man - it grew his brand much larger)
Dude those two movies aren't even in the same conversation. And that's coming from someone who likes both.
This. Im a Hulk Hogan fanboy, and like NHB for what it is, but They Live is just plain better. @@hotelmario
Jesse was never under fire. His entire time as a Frog was being stationed at Subic Bay, PI. He never deployed.
Saw Piper/Hogan vs Flair/SId in Pittsburgh too. It was my first WWE live event.
At times..wait wtf did he say?
Mumbles a lot -- needed to put closed captions.
Pipper was the man, repect. He didn't like taking steroids to keep up with the bigger guys. RIP
he was the biggest juice abuser in wrestling from the word of former talent who worked with him at the time. he just never worked out properly to get huge.
I miss Roddy Piper
He's always be an awesome wrestler of them all. God Bless Roddy Piper, his with his Angels now
When I saw Roddy Piper in "They Live", without the Scottish brogue, I was confused.
Cannot believe how long these guys in the game. Had I known what I know now......Hot Rod my mother loved you mate. Before WWE you guys shared so much and opened my eyes. Great group from Calgary on you stayed at our hotel.....your alright god bless🙏🏻❤️
Why does he remind me of an old CM Punk?
Side by each...Roddys Canadian roots were showing 😄
Who feels like rick and rowdy would have been a great team together?
I agree
@SeekerofTruth, Rude & Piper were polar opposites & it wouldn't have worked, NOW if Jesse hadn't have had to retire due to his blod clots in his legs, Jesse & Piper would've been an awesome heel team, hell they even worked a 6man with Bob Orton on SNME with the Hillbillies & they showed they were awesome together
I love Roddy. the only wrestling t-shirt I ever bought was his.
I think the biggest fear was if Roddy was given the title there
was legit concern he wouldn't lose it when needed. he couldn't
be trusted with it sadly.
another awesome legend loved his matches
Piper should've been helping new talent learn how to cut promo's cause he was a master on the mic 🎤
You either have mic talent or you dont.
Roddy Piper Started In The NWA. He Went Back Home To WCW.
I need a translator for this ....
Nice to know that I'm not the only one who has extreme difficulty understanding his interviews. Loved the guy as a wrestler despite that questionable half paint job he did for Wrestlemania 6
My favorite wrestler of alllllll time.
Looks just like Mark whalberg here! Movie idea?!?!
Piper was the best,thank God for utube man!!!!!
Is it me, or does he talk in riddles ?
He always did 😆
What was his point in bringing up savage?
I barely understood a word he said...some things don’t change.
They live is the best movie featuring a wrestler, ever. Look how crappy the rock movies are and go watch they live, and piper performance, he’s levels above..
I have the Roddy Piper Ninja Turtle Action Figure... so cool
I have no idea what he's talking about at the beginning. LOL. RIP.
Very hard to follow these stories - wish there was a time line and shit
The interview about Pat Patterson and Piper damn
Love Roddy on the mic, but I'm having trouble following what he's saying here. It doesn't help that the interviewer isn't very good.
I love Piper but he like Hogan never left Wrestling because he came back a dozen times.
Piper had more guts than all the rest of them.
"Excuse me, do you need anybody"? "Maybe". "I've got my own tools". "This is a union job".Looks around at the illegals. "Uh then May I please speak with the shop steward...sir"? Classic flick man. And brilliant, Carpenter tried to warn us about what's happening right now.
Piper had a very big problem. He was to smart. I miss that guy. Can you just imagine his points of view on things today?
Vince didn't know what he had. Should've had Piper do his thing till he couldnt no more. He'd have been great up to the Attitude Era.
One tough son of a bitch !! We love you Mr Piper.....
Ventura. Piper.hogan the rock they have all left Vince to do films to me as a kid I loved Piper he was hilarious I loved the cartoon he was as big as Hogan in my mind as a kid who didn't know the business it was pure and he was amazing I'll always have good memories of Piper as a kid he's like sunshine he brightens up your day ☀️☀️
Hyper piper
Hot Rod was the real peoples champion!
Piper should have lost clean to Hogan at a wrestlemania main event. It would have been good for his career.
Great movie... still
Roddy piper looks alot like mark wahlberg at times during this interview.
One of the greatest rip hot rode
There are schizophrenia interviews that are more coherent.
The GOAT
HOTROD ROWDY RODDY PIPER#1
We always loose all the good ones
See you some day hot rod
Piper never said this but what comes to mind is Piper went out did the movie thing first came back and people cheered him. Hogan could not stand being one upped its sound so Hogan and Vince write No Holds Barred and Hogan starred in it than went even further and brought hat angle right into the ring because Hogan's ego had to have the spot light on him what a prick.
They Live was a great movie but don't forget the amazing movie Hell Comes to Frogtown
RODDY COULD RAP, PIPERS PIT.
I haven’t seen Piper in a long time. I wonder what he’s been doing lately? He was in some movies to.
He passed away back in 2015. You didn't know?
I miss Roddy
Roddy was always entertaining. The original Duke Nukem.
From beyond the grave!
Roddy.piper.he was a.fantastic.wesler.and so.was the late.great.macho.man.randy savage.its.sad that many of the weslers are
gone greg the hammer valentine he is still with us hulk hogan he is.still here ric flair he.is.still.here stone cold is still here mick foley.he is still here up the irons maiden🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸⭐⭐🇬🇧🇬🇧
Cause I was 80 years old. . .
Wtf is he talking about.
God bless you my brother love ❤️ Delhi NCR dhath gorav name my brother
Piper would make a hella Uncle wouldn't he? Here Nephew have a beer!
It's because those glasses gave him headaches which shortened his career. And after fighting Keith David, he was never the same.
Thy live is about real life now and roddy was great
I can't understand a lot of what he's saying...he's all over the place and not finishing sentences
All this time he must have been sick
BULLSHIT HE BLEW UP lol
He's really hard to understand and follow. Good interview, but you have to really really listen closely to follow him.
This must have been recorded near the end of his life because he’s all over the place and difficult to follow
This is from 2003
This was 12 years before his death, that’s just the way he talked haha
2:04 tf is he talking about?
Vince didn't fire Savage. I don't know what he's talking about.
It's hard to listen to him. And the camera angle is horrible. Why do we need to be looking up his nose?
😳Mr Rody Piper!
I have a lot of Respect for You! for the Fact that you went up Against the Toughest Wrestlers of all Times!
😳 Does anyone know if Piper ever went up Against Dr David Schultz?
or were they Friends?
😳My condolences to the Piper Family and Close Friends. ✝️
REALITY CHECK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I pretty much enjoy any other wrestler's shoot interview about "The Business" besides Hot Rod's and that's simply because he's asked a simple question and instead of going the quickest, simplest route to point A to get the answer to said question, he takes us to point B, C, D, E, F, G, before we circle back to point A and by that time we've forgotten what the actual question was. What in the Hell is he talking about? Is or was he high, drunk or medicated when he did these interviews? R.I.P
