I'm just now re-watching this, and I'm still SO proud of how Madusa, Piper, Sting, and Heenan handled themselves so articulately. But OH, I'm SO glad Piper was among them to kick things up a notch - he was a true master at that, imho. :-)
Props to Piper for breaking out the metal hip and his Owen reference. He was a great defender of the business. Madusa was well spoken and professional while keeping cool while defending and explaining with disclosure the nature of the business and their performance. Roddy did it well, and he always did it his way. Balls out and rowdy as hell, always ready for a fight!! RIP MR. PIPER.
The majority of people commenting here are apparently wrestling fans, as they seem to think the wrestlers did a good job of talking about their fake show. I should have known this, most commenters are people of apparent low iq that will fall for anything. God bless America!
Starting at 15:20, Piper totally OWNS Maher!! R.I.P. "Rowdy" Roddy Piper with love, gratitude, and respect always. He'll never be duplicated but he'll always be terribly missed.
Wow; amazing how many comments here demonstrate what stood out to people which was Roddy Piper's sincerity and Bill Mahrs' smugness. The phrase wearing their personality on their sleeve comes to mind. I'd hang out with Roddy Piper over Bill Mahr any day of the week and would be honored (if he still were alive.)
That's always been the problem with Bill maher. Every time he's on TV he has to prove to everybody how smart he is by insulting people that no one ever hears each other. He is lucky there were other people there because Rowdy Roddy Piper was an extremely intense individual and I wouldn't be surprised if he would have taken more to the Woodshed for real if the Stinger hadn't been there to help calm tensions
People think wrestling is completely fake, yeah its semi choreographed, and its a soap opera, planned out,etc... But its extremely physical and dangerous...nothing fake about the sport of it, the physical aspect is very real.
+Exodus Pessoa As grateful as I am to have experienced Heenan the way I did, I always thought that too... he just had timing that no one else did, and he never needed a fucking writer to tell him what to say, either. He's a genius, and like I was talking about with someone else on here, he really needs to start communicating with his fans via the Internet. He was literally stripped of his voice, but he still has his humor, and that's the perfect way for him to express it. Can you imagine a weekly article by Heenan where he's in character?
Roddy Piper and Bobby Heenan outwitted and outclassed Maher. Could you imagine if Jim Cornette were there to join Piper and Heenan? Maher probably would have gone home crying. RIP Roddy and Bobby...the two most entertaining individuals in the history of the business.
Great! Never seen this before. I thought the wrestlers were being intentionally contentious about the phrase "in on the joke" as obviously wrestling is choreographed for maximum entertainment and safety. I'm glad Piper (who is so scary when he talks quietly!) brought it up that it's because they hear the same sentiment over and over that they automatically go off. It made the segments ill-at-ease and only very fake-friendly. Because of that "it's fake" mentality, wrestlers can overcompensate by hiding injuries and outworking any other sport. Bottom line, don't fuck with wrestlers.
Thanks for posting this. WCW couldn't have picked a better foursome for this panel. All well spoken, but not similarly so, legends of their craft (all four in the WWE HoF), and understands the biz throughout. I remember watching this when it aired, and although I'm a big fan of Maher, I cringed on his first question. I understand the spirit of it (and the answer is YES), but it was phrased poorly. Fortunately, everyone recovered, and I think non-fans learned something from it.
Scripted, but not fake. They don't actually land the punches and kicks, but they do take bumps and chair shots and get injured. The match results are pre-determined.
Buuuuulshiiiiit bro. 99.9% of wrestlers throw multiple potatoes in matches. I saw Kevin Nash knock out one of the members of high voltage clean on a dark match after Nitro in vegas. Was insane.
The honest definite ultimate truth about Pro Wrestling no matter what lies anyone would say, is that the outcome is predetermined. For the most part they follow a script. The wrestling part itself (not counting promos, other non in-ring wrestling segments) is mostly improvised with the exception of the finishers and special spots/moments in the match. Some matches might be following the script more than others but generally speaking most of it is done on the fly. As for the bumps/hits the wrestlers take. Physically, they're real. You can't fake being thrown off a ladder into a bunch of tables. But the moves/hits are being performed/executed in a way where they intend to cause as little damage as possible to their opponent. They pull punches (don't throw them with full force). They cover their face when being thrown head first into steel steps or catch a superkick etc.... They're essentially stuntmen. When pouring gasoline on the tables before lighting them on fire it's actually water they're pouring. When bleeding they're actually for the most part doing it themselves by blading (cutting their foreheads etc... with a small hidden type of blades) or in some other cases use blood capsules. All these small things are done to make the whole package so to speak look real. THAT SAID. Sure accidents CAN happen. Obviously. Lots of things can go wrong. And there are times (mostly in Japan and Indies) where some wrestlers might work stiff (they might not pull punches and might be more rough with their opponents) but GENERALLY SPEAKING most of the action is controlled and scripted.
6:40 .... Key word which Madusa used to describe why pro-wrestling was so great, *mystique* ... And that's the problem with today's WWE, there isn't that mystique element which makes pro-wrestling so great. The fact WWE has lost close to 4 million viewers over the last ten years is proof that WWE no longer has that mystique element. The "top guys" (Cena/Reigns) fail miserably in comparison with previous top guys such as, The Rock, Stone Cold, The Undertaker, Macho Man, Hogan... I'd love for pro-wrestling to return to it's glory days where wrestling had cross over appeal. Just look at the original nWo, even here in Melbourne Australia where back in 1996 we didn't have pay per view, pay TV pretty much didn't arrive till 1995ish, and until mid to 1997 pay tv was only available to a very limited market, yet you'd see nWo shirts EVERYWHERE!!! And for the most part they were all bootlegged because we didn't have a pro-wrestling store, and Kmart and Target hadn't started selling wrestling merch! The nWo had major cross over appeal, and sadly I don't ever see that happening again.
I miss Piper. grew up watching him. Saw him live at MSG twice. When he said I have the floor and Bill shut his ignorant mouth and the crowd started and Bobby shut the crowd up by saying HE HAS THE FLOOR and the crowd shut up. There is a bond wrestlers have that is nothing short but amazing. Only soldiers have a stronger bond I think
Never underestimate the "wrasslin" world. If you can't hang with what we love, GTFO. Thanks for the upload, can't get enough of The Hot Rod saying it how it is.
telnetcarlos Man, I LOVED how Roddy OWNED it! Maher didn't know what he was really getting into with those elite 4 legends, did he - Piper in particular!!
I love all 4 of those wrestling icons, but nobody more, ever in the world of wrestling, than Rowdy Roddy Piper! The absolute greatest ever. I love how they, but especially Piper, put that schmuck, Maher, in his place. He invited gunslingers to a knife fight and suffered a predictable outcome! I guess Maher wasn't "in on the joke"! OR, it was that the joke was on him! R.I.P. Hot Rod...you continue to be missed!
"People know that your not really beating each other up"- Bill Maher Yeah well say that to Mick Foley who lost his ear in a match against Big Van Vader, who got his whole arm scarred up competing in a life threating japanese death match, who got thrown 10 feet off of a steel cage into an announce table then picked himself up, climbed to the top of the cage only to get chock slammed through the roof, breaking his arm on impact and getting his tooth rammed up through his nose. yeah there not really beating each other up, give me a break.
Carl Sittman lmao....Carl Carl Carl....thank you I needed that...I needed your miniscule attempt to stifle Bill Maher... hey Carl I'll give you 100 bucks if you can jump in the water at night and catch the moon's reflection...
Maher was getting owned by ALL four of them! Medusa and Sting with the calm logical approach to explain things. Heenan with jokes that were, in reality, subtle jabs that Im not even sure Maher was catching on that Heenan was making fun of Maher's complete ignorance. And then Hot Rod, just topped it off with an 'in your face' attitude AND a devastating 'shame on you' with the mention of Mrs. Hart.
In case you are wondering, this episode of PI was in 1999 or 2000. Maher mentions Sting's television movie called Shutterspeed debuting next year. That movie came out in 2000. It's also available to watch on TH-cam in full, it seems.
I hate the "wrestling is fake" crap more than anyone, but Piper's attempt to shame Maher by bringing up Owen Hart was unfair; Owen didn't die while wrestling or due to in-ring work. He had so much else to draw from (Austin's broken neck, Foley's million injuries, etc.) that this was a cheap, melodramatic thing to do.
This might be the one thing I don't agree with Bill on, they said many times we are stunt workers, We do this for entertainment, we all knew it was fake long time ago but we're entertained. Pipers hip, and shoulder and broken ribs, and wrist are not fake, noobs not knowing the ropes really hurt him. Piper and Andre we some of the best matches cause they never hurt each other and had a real respect so they were such a great duo!
BRILLIANT At 15:20 Heenan "He[Piper]'s gonna strike" Maher "And i'm not dropping my pants in front of other men" Piper "then how did you get the job" It's pathetic how the audience gasps with hottor or go ooo that their god maher got insulted, while they burst out laughing, rather than just bursts out laughing like they do when Maher mocks anybody else .
Damn,Bobby Heenan is probably the funniest person associated with wrestling hands down ever ..a shame that he suffered towards the end of his life ..most of my childhood was spent watching him and gorilla moonson classic times ...
five and a half minutes in i notice bobby "the brain" heenan is silent. livin' up to the name i see. catchin' up with what i missed as a child is awesome.
Actually although Bill didn't respect the "Use to have horse and buggies and now they have cars" analogy is very accurate considering very few died in horse and buggy accidents as compared to cars. Times change for better or worse. her analogy was spot on.
+Jay Smooth Looking around for figures, it seems that around 7 times as many people per 100,000 were killed and injured by horses and horse drawn vehicles in 1900 than are presently killed and injured by motor vehicles.
Hey, Roddy Piper on HBO with an open mike is just like throwing pop rocks into a nudist camp on a hot summers day. (Anything and everything is liable to come out fast LOL)
I haven't been a wrestling fan since I was a kid. But anybody that knows anything about wrestling knows those guys are committed and passionate about what they do. They work their asses off and their are some amazing athletes in wrestling. One of my best friends neck was broken in the 80s when WWF was huge because he got piledrived by another one of my friends. But he doesn't blame wrestling, he's smart enough to know that kids are kids and do dumb shit regardless of what they are exposed to. People used to get riled up about wrestling because a lot of kids used to get hurt but you have to explain to kids that these moves are choreographed like a dance and not real. Blaming violence on entertainment is fucking ridiculous.

Sting has always been a class act.
I'm just now re-watching this, and I'm still SO proud of how Madusa, Piper, Sting, and Heenan handled themselves so articulately. But OH, I'm SO glad Piper was among them to kick things up a notch - he was a true master at that, imho. :-)
I love Piper's candidness. He was not going to tolerate any of Maher's utter stupidity.
Bobby Heenan is far too witty and clever for this show. It's frustrating that he's not hosting it.
You're joking right?
Props to Piper for breaking out the metal hip and his Owen reference. He was a great defender of the business. Madusa was well spoken and professional while keeping cool while defending and explaining with disclosure the nature of the business and their performance. Roddy did it well, and he always did it his way. Balls out and rowdy as hell, always ready for a fight!! RIP MR. PIPER.
Welcome to PIPER'S PIT!
The majority of people commenting here are apparently wrestling fans, as they seem to think the wrestlers did a good job of talking about their fake show. I should have known this, most commenters are people of apparent low iq that will fall for anything. God bless America!
The only joke is Bill Maher...
His such a dumb ass...
Typical of somebody that never did anything in his life but talk shit
Typical LIBTARD, BILL MAHER
Bill looked a little nervous when Piper stood up
Wouldn't you lol
Phillip Torres
He was taking off his pants. I think I would be too, with Hot Rod staring me down with his pants at his knees, LOL!
"I'm not dropping my pants in front of other men"
"Well how you get the job?"
Hot Rod! Rip!
Starting at 15:20, Piper totally OWNS Maher!! R.I.P. "Rowdy" Roddy Piper with love, gratitude, and respect always. He'll never be duplicated but he'll always be terribly missed.
Yup. He hits his finishing move at 15:43
The one time I wish Jim Cornette was a part of WCW in the late 90s.
Steve Regal Good God, this would have been INFINITELY more entertaining with Corny.
George Coley right😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Corny would have Bill Maher roll up into a ball and weep like a sad child
RIP Piper!
+ajones35 Aye, RIP Rowdy " I have Come Here To Chew Bubblegum And Kick Ass, And I', All Out Of Bubblegum " Piper!!!
You will be missed!
ExclusiveLM Ditto. He will be missed.
Roddy and the Brain. My all-time favorites!👏
Yep RIP PIPER
Rip piper, benoit, randy savage, owen hart

The phrase wearing their personality on their sleeve comes to mind. I'd hang out with Roddy Piper over Bill Mahr any day of the week and would be honored (if he still were alive.)
It's Bill Maher, not Mahr and unfortunately you can't hang out with Roddy Piper anymore because he's sadly died.
When wrastlers make you look like an idiot. Poor Bill, every one of his guests can see through his act.
You're subscribed to PragerU. There is nothing worse than that.
bill got owned by hot rod
It's a man against a mouse. Bill Maher is a ponce
looking back on it i never knew what Sting looked like without his face paint. UNTIL NOW!!!!!
I miss you Piper you were NEVER a joke to me. RIP.
♥🍻🍀🍁
Stubbla As a lid growing up through the 80s he was the guy you loved to hate.
The icon with wings 🪽, piper is
you could tell that when moron Maher referred to wrestling as a "joke", right from the "get-go" Piper didn't take it very well ....I miss HOT ROD!!!!
So sweet to see snarky Maher get more than he bargained for.
Medusa is on the ball
Amazing how little was actually discussed.
A bad host. Who couldn't keep the show on the rails.
That's always been the problem with Bill maher. Every time he's on TV he has to prove to everybody how smart he is by insulting people that no one ever hears each other. He is lucky there were other people there because Rowdy Roddy Piper was an extremely intense individual and I wouldn't be surprised if he would have taken more to the Woodshed for real if the Stinger hadn't been there to help calm tensions
Piper was turning it on and off so smooth, and Bobby Heenan showed how intelligent he really was
rip piper you were always a class act..
Maher was being very ignorant and rude I'm glad piper put him in his place I've never seen this clip till now thank you for sharing
People think wrestling is completely fake, yeah its semi choreographed, and its a soap opera, planned out,etc... But its extremely physical and dangerous...nothing fake about the sport of it, the physical aspect is very real.
bil-i dont drop my pants for other men
piper- welll how dit you get the job
pure gold lol
Bobby Heenan should have been a comedian he has always been funny. 12:21
+Exodus Pessoa Heenan was by far the funniest man in professional wrestling.
+Exodus Pessoa As grateful as I am to have experienced Heenan the way I did, I always thought that too... he just had timing that no one else did, and he never needed a fucking writer to tell him what to say, either.

He was literally stripped of his voice, but he still has his humor, and that's the perfect way for him to express it. Can you imagine a weekly article by Heenan where he's in character?
I got very Rodney Dangerfield-like vibes from Heenan in this segment. RIP
aren't wrestlers comedians?
Exodus Pessoa could've bedn another Rodney Dangerfield.
Roddy Piper and Bobby Heenan outwitted and outclassed Maher. Could you imagine if Jim Cornette were there to join Piper and Heenan? Maher probably would have gone home crying.
RIP Roddy and Bobby...the two most entertaining individuals in the history of the business.

Right on
Jay! What bar is Bill Maher??
"I'd rather not shake hands..."
-Bobby the Brain
Classic! 😅
Hands down, Piper was the best heel; the platinum standard with a couple diamonds thrown in for good measure.
As Much as I Like Bill Maher....Piper Checkmated His ass!!!!
As for Bobby "The Brain" Heenan....Still a Legend!!!
I could watch Madusa do her taxes.
Madusa Miceli
I could watch Medusa give her shelf a sponge bath all day !
@@Bustamove- oh yeah better than my Taxes comment. Much sexier
Love Roddy Piper. Watching him dominate Maher vindicates my childhood
Wow, Roddy Piper was 20 years ahead of the times with his “how’d you get your job” comment! Bill is such a weasel. Great watching him squirm.
madusa is hot
she looks like kathy griffin.
I was thinking Susan Summers
My all time favorite female wrestler & holy shit did I have the hots for her back then & even in her AWA days.
Funny to see Piper do the bit on "you'll never take away my freedom" with the American flag behind him and all that. He's Canadian.
R.I.P. Bobby
there will never be another Hot Rod... Rest in peace
5:45 - It got real with the Owen Hart comment. Bill got owned by the Legend Killer!
Thanks for posting this. WCW couldn't have picked a better foursome for this panel. All well spoken, but not similarly so, legends of their craft (all four in the WWE HoF), and understands the biz throughout.

Scripted, but not fake. They don't actually land the punches and kicks, but they do take bumps and chair shots and get injured. The match results are pre-determined.
We know.
Buuuuulshiiiiit bro. 99.9% of wrestlers throw multiple potatoes in matches. I saw Kevin Nash knock out one of the members of high voltage clean on a dark match after Nitro in vegas. Was insane.
i should hire you to find out things about stuff
Piper AND Heenan on the same show? Bill Maher never stood a chance lol.
It would have been funnier if there was Meng or David Schultz
wow , Piper was pissed !
He absolutely was, and rightfully so!

5:32-5:33 Sting's face when Roddy was about to drop his pants
The stinger was about to have a heart attack
Way to state it Hot Rod!
6:40 .... Key word which Madusa used to describe why pro-wrestling was so great, *mystique* ... And that's the problem with today's WWE, there isn't that mystique element which makes pro-wrestling so great.

The mystique was ruined forever when Vince McMahon told the world it was all scripted .
5:34 only Roddy could take his pants off on TV and get away with it...No fucks were given by that man
Go Roddy!!
I thought piper was going to beat the piss out of him
Bobby Heenan was a rare gem.
Sting's face at 3:20 😂
I hope and pray you are safe and to continue to stay strong
@@SpreadTheGoodNews. Thanks, but I'm in Louisiana. I have the flag by my name to show love and support for the people and the country. 🇺🇦
I miss Piper. grew up watching him. Saw him live at MSG twice. When he said I have the floor and Bill shut his ignorant mouth and the crowd started and Bobby shut the crowd up by saying HE HAS THE FLOOR and the crowd shut up. There is a bond wrestlers have that is nothing short but amazing. Only soldiers have a stronger bond I think
R.I.P. Roddy Piper..
Piper wasn't gonna let Maher get over on him for anything. Anytime Piper was on TV shows like this, you know he was gonna do wild shit. RIP Hot Rod.
If you ever needed a reminder of how great Piper was…here ya go.
Maher got so owned in this.
Never underestimate the "wrasslin" world. If you can't hang with what we love, GTFO.
Thanks for the upload, can't get enough of The Hot Rod saying it how it is.
telnetcarlos Man, I LOVED how Roddy OWNED it! Maher didn't know what he was really getting into with those elite 4 legends, did he - Piper in particular!!
I wonder knowing bobby if he was serious when he told the audience "he has the floor" @ 17:16?
I'm pretty sure that he was being serious, but also intentionally making it sound snarky to put Maher in his place without being unprofessional.
Piper my fellow Scottish Canadian brother. When anyone ever thought I had a weird name when I was a kid, I just told them I was named after Hot Rod.
I miss Bobby Heenan, the world is a less fun place without him
I never met Piper, but he seems like the nicest human alive... But when he gets hott you KNOW you are fucked.
Piper is awesome. Piper and Bobby are icons. They will be forever missed
Bobby under his breath looked at Sting and said "Jesus Christ another one?" When he opened the interview with the "everyone is in on the joke?"
it's hard to watch young bill maher. he has come a long way and is much more entertaining today.
Roddy Piper had a Micky Rourke in the Wrestler moment
I love all 4 of those wrestling icons, but nobody more, ever in the world of wrestling, than Rowdy Roddy Piper! The absolute greatest ever. I love how they, but especially Piper, put that schmuck, Maher, in his place. He invited gunslingers to a knife fight and suffered a predictable outcome! I guess Maher wasn't "in on the joke"! OR, it was that the joke was on him! R.I.P. Hot Rod...you continue to be missed!
Piper's promo was funny, but he is Canadian....
to g No, he's Scottish by way of Canada.
Either way, he is not American, you moron.
"People know that your not really beating each other up"- Bill Maher
Yeah well say that to Mick Foley who lost his ear in a match against Big Van Vader, who got his whole arm scarred up competing in a life threating japanese death match, who got thrown 10 feet off of a steel cage into an announce table then picked himself up, climbed to the top of the cage only to get chock slammed through the roof, breaking his arm on impact and getting his tooth rammed up through his nose.
yeah there not really beating each other up, give me a break.
No wonder Bill Maher no longer has a show.
Carl Sittman lmao....Carl Carl Carl....thank you I needed that...I needed your miniscule attempt to stifle Bill Maher... hey Carl I'll give you 100 bucks if you can jump in the water at night and catch the moon's reflection...
Maher goes "I dont know whats real and whats not anymore"
Piper smiles from ear to ear and shakes his hand to say "Ya see boy!"
Pure class
Maher was getting owned by ALL four of them! Medusa and Sting with the calm logical approach to explain things. Heenan with jokes that were, in reality, subtle jabs that Im not even sure Maher was catching on that Heenan was making fun of Maher's complete ignorance.

Wow. This is really cool. Never saw it before. Roddy got pissed when he said "in on the joke".
The biggest mistake is always to try to make the wrestlers admit it. If you think it's BS, just say so.
I totally hate wrestling but Rowdy Roddy Piper is such a fucking cool dude.
I love Heenan such an awesome guy.
100 percent correct about the NASCAR comment. Kids and adults watch this and drive the madmen on the highways.
I hate the "wrestling is fake" crap more than anyone, but Piper's attempt to shame Maher by bringing up Owen Hart was unfair; Owen didn't die while wrestling or due to in-ring work. He had so much else to draw from (Austin's broken neck, Foley's million injuries, etc.) that this was a cheap, melodramatic thing to do.
Bill is such a little punk
Look at Sting, clapping back on Bill. That will teach him a thing or two.
Bill Marr is giving advice to ALL of our problems.... for free!
This might be the one thing I don't agree with Bill on, they said many times we are stunt workers, We do this for entertainment, we all knew it was fake long time ago but we're entertained. Pipers hip, and shoulder and broken ribs, and wrist are not fake, noobs not knowing the ropes really hurt him. Piper and Andre we some of the best matches cause they never hurt each other and had a real respect so they were such a great duo!

Sting and piper are both thinking "man medusa is hot but please stfu..."
Cool upload thanks man
Madusa was bringing up some weird analogies, Bobby Heenan doesn't want to be there.
Her car analogy was eccentric, but it made sense. She was just saying that most things advance, progress, and get bigger over time.
Damn,Bobby Heenan is probably the funniest person associated with wrestling hands down ever ..a shame that he suffered towards the end of his life ..most of my childhood was spent watching him and gorilla moonson classic times ...
if only Jim Cornette was there.
Oh man Corny would have lost his shit 😂.
five and a half minutes in i notice bobby "the brain" heenan is silent.
livin' up to the name i see.
catchin' up with what i missed as a child is awesome.

see?
"just pat me on the back if you don't mind".
Ohhhh Billy, Billy boy. You should've known better than to take on Hot Rod at his own game.
the pain these great show men and women take- shows that they're great athletes and tuff as nails

They work their asses off and their are some amazing athletes in wrestling. One of my best friends neck was broken in the 80s when WWF was huge because he got piledrived by another one of my friends. But he doesn't blame wrestling, he's smart enough to know that kids are kids and do dumb shit regardless of what they are exposed to. People used to get riled up about wrestling because a lot of kids used to get hurt but you have to explain to kids that these moves are choreographed like a dance and not real. Blaming violence on entertainment is fucking ridiculous.
