  • Bad News Brown & "Rowdy" Roddy Piper discuss their Wrestlemania VI match where Piper came out wearing blackface (on half of his face) ➤ TitleMatchNetwork.com
    In 1990, Vince McMahon and WWF were gearing up for their big Wrestlemania VI event at the Sky Dome in Tornoto, Canada. One of the marquee attractions would feature Rowdy Roddy Piper vs Bad News Brown.
    This is the infamous match where Piper comes out dressed up in blackface, his entire body painted half black. It was a shocking moment even back in 1990 but how did both participants feel about it?
    Did Piper & Bad News get along behind the scenes? Was Vince McMahon the one who proposed the idea or someone else? Both interviews were conducted in the early 2000s by RF Video.
    Title Match Network has full licensing rights to both titles so we put together this mini-documentary. Here is how Roddy Piper & Bad News Brown felt about their infamous Wrestlemania VI match for the WWF.
    Title Match Media LLC digitally remastered the original raw footage, including color correction and advanced audio editing specifically for this TH-cam release.

      Yeah.but in other parts of this shoot he complains about not getting the belt and saying it had been promised to him. He gives a decent interview but he contradicts himself and is too quick to level personal attacks against other people in the business. I'd say that about 70 percent of what he says can be taken at face value. Piper on the other hand is usually trying not to say anything concrete and usually takes the high road on personal attacks.

      @Jason Dee The comment I made was pretty self-explanatory, Mr. Dee. With all due respect, sir, they both wrestled the same match. To
      simply put it, the payday should've been mutually equivalent. That alone is a discriminatory action by definition, sir. Plus, the late Hot Rod wasn't a full time employee at that point in his WWF career; but the late Bad News Brown was. If anything, because of that, Mr. Dee, the pay disparity should've been in Brown's favor

I said his character was over and, as a result, he put asses in the seats; which he did bc ppl loved to hate him. That's a simple fact, whether or not you believe it. I also know Hot Rod was VERY over as a heel and a face. That's DEFINITELY a fact, sir. I was a Rowdy Roddy fan when I was a teen. There's nothing atrocious about running a business based on equal pay for equal performance, Mr. Dee. I have no clue where you came up with that idea??

    • @Rob_Cahill

      I can think of a few reasons. Piper probably didn't want to seem like a pussy and said fuck it, because of the rib. Maybe he asked for it and got turned down and was told to keep it that way for a story line and it never came to be. My money is on he is full of it. I don't want to jump on the race card like some do. I think he was a guy who tried hard to stay on top while pushing others down, like all who get to the top do. His antics might come across that way but I think he wanted more to come across as an asshole than racist. Now a days everything is racist rather than someone maybe being a flat out jerk. The problem with wrestlers is they are fishermen at heart, they all tell lies constantly.

    It doesn't matter how I feel but I don't think there were bad intentions to the black and white thing. It was just really stupid. The messed up part of the whole thing is the difference in pay. While it makes sense Piper got what he did, being Piper, News should've definitely gotten more for his part. I say this with the all the respect in the world, it was kind of messed up Piper wouldn't put him over. Seemed to be a reoccurring theme with him throughout the years. Piper didn't need W's and when he was a true heel people would've loved to see him lose. Does anyone know of a televised match where he lost clean? Would like to see it if it exists.

People remember moments more than anything else and some of the biggest moments of guys careers result in loses. Hogan/Warrior, Hogan/Goldberg were both huge because Hogan lost. Lesnar greatly benefited from losing to Goldberg at Survivor Series since he had become too unbeatable. It made him interesting again.

    • @Hotdiggity11

      Winning and losing was a lot different back in the 80s and prior. The top faces rarely lost except via dqs/count-outs unless they were losing a belt. Bruno/Morales/Backlund/Hogan/etc. Roddy had enough leverage as a top heel to have a similar privilege and never bothered with belts in the WWF outside of the IC belt and he put over Bret in that situation.
      Once they started phasing out excessive jobber matches in the late 90s and companies had weekly episodic nationwide television, it became harder to do that and even Roddy lost matches later in his career in WCW more regularly.

Otherwise you're nothing but a hypocrite, as well as the actual racist for thinking that behavior and laws should be different depending on the color of your skin.
