No wonder Piper was such a master in his wrestling promos. His normal way of speaking was so captivating in itself. Rest easy, Hotrod, you're an absolute legend!
"METAL HIP!!" One more thing: if you don't get the visual reference at 3:44, Piper was also in a movie called Hell Comes to Frogtown. He plays a guy named Sam Hell who enters a town full of humanoid frogs, hence the title.
Same here, he was my favourite wrestler when i was a kid partly because hogan wierded me out and partly because he was billed from the uk well Scotland to be precise
God bless Roddy, but he's hard to follow sometimes. I dunno if it was ADHD, but he would start a new thought mid sentence before completing the previous thought. A fantastic talent, but it made his interviews tough to listen to.
WHY do all these podcast guys have videos on Meltzer and Russo? Two guys that are a blip in wrestling history seem to be talked about every damn week. Jeez,let it go!
It's astounding that Meltzer's name is associated with wrestling. The guy has spent the past 40 years butthurt because he didn't have what it takes to be a WWE jobber. Listening to his takes seriously is like listening to Al Bundy brag about his "4 touchdowns in one game" and not realizing it's a joke.
At one point, Dave Meltzer was the guy to go to if you wanted the inside scoop on the wrestling business. But he's obsolete in the podcast age, because the wrestlers are pulling back the curtain themselves these days. So to keep himself relevant to a certain fan base, he shills for AEW now.
Yeah sure, you "don't know him", Mr. Faux "Golden Gloves"... Couldn't even keep that one straight for three sentences, eh? Funny when a notorious lying sack calls somebody else out for making money by lying. And I'm not in any way defending Unca Dave here - just to be clear.
Omega, Young Bucks, Okaka and many more who can't sell, do a bunch of flips and gain no fan interest, according to Meltzer, are better wrestlers than Angle, Rock, Austin, Taker and I could go on and on. That sums up Dave Meltzer. But he appeals to a certain type of man-child wrestling fan who have very odd opinions based on their own insecurities. That's why Meltzer is a name. Take that small niche group away, no one would have ever heard of him
It's so crazy that the old guard hated Meltzer so much for sharing his opinion. "Everybody thinks he's some great guru" ok yeah so people like his opinions
…telling people what to watch and rating wrestlers work according to how much you like them personally is not “sharing his opinion”, it’s using a platform to try to influence people.
@ no- but that’s not what he’s doing. If you’re employed by a movie production company and you spend your time giving that company good reviews, not matter how bad the movies are, and bashing the opposition, no matter how good their stuff is, yeah, you’re a PoS.
He doesn't just "share his opinion". He's bias about so much and also likes to report things as fact or state that he is in the know when he's simply speculating and commenting on rumours.
So this is where we are. Watching a poorly drawn Piper talking about something that happened a hundred years ago. Even though Piper's dead, this is a thing. A thing we're doing sober. I'm so ashamed.
*“You’re 99.9% wrong again!”*
Dave Meltzer is the same guy who said Kurt Angle never had a five star match
But will Ospery and Kenny omega have a lot. What a joke
"But uh..uh...you see, uh, I gave Kurts lots of...uh..you know, 4 and a half star matches and that's like, uh, you know, uh more important...."
Holy fc.
Yes! It's been repeated a million times.
Dave Meltzer never gave Kurt Angle a 5 Star Match.
Get over it.
@@TheHardys01or we could just keep pointing out how full of shit meltzer is
That’s Because Omega and Ospreay came from wrestling in the Olympics to the professional level. Angle was bad
No wonder Piper was such a master in his wrestling promos. His normal way of speaking was so captivating in itself. Rest easy, Hotrod, you're an absolute legend!
They Live faces is a nice touch.
“The internet has bred cowards.” Very prophetic from Hod Rod
No it hasn't. It just has given everyone a global platform.
@@henrygvidonas9573…including those cowards.
@@Bale4Bond
Meltzer is one of them
Preach Roddy! Dirt Sheet Dave is an absolute dreadful influence on the wrestling business
Nah I like reading about the history of the business!
@@normaningemann3868Meltzer's "history" is completely inaccurate
@@normaningemann3868 all he has ever done in the business is take money from fans, granted he knows his history but he's never been in the business
Piper's chewing gum played quite the cameo role in this one here ...
Looks like William Wallace and James Bond are all set for Mania 6 🤣🤣
Absolutely brilliant LOL
This was a good one 😂 Roddy cutting an intense shoot promo there. He fucking hated Dave lol
Dave wearing the PRIDE FC shirt makes this even funnier for some reason.
I love the fact that the aliens from They Live are the ones conducting this interview. XD
Love the they live aliens 😂
the mouth drop at 3:30 lmao
No truer words spoken about Meltzer. R.I.P Piper
"METAL HIP!!"
One more thing: if you don't get the visual reference at 3:44, Piper was also in a movie called Hell Comes to Frogtown. He plays a guy named Sam Hell who enters a town full of humanoid frogs, hence the title.
Dave thought that was fake??? How do they fake it?
Omg the social skills comment was 10/10 😂
This is your best work yet man, love the details added throughout - really stepped up the animation with this one. Keep up the great work!
Thank you!
1:28 "🐂💩! HEAVY 🐂💩!"
🤣
Love the They Live guys!
Meltzer's room looks too clean lol
Ribshot these are getting better and better! Keep up the good work 👊👏
Dave Meltzer has done irreparable damage to the wrestling business, fans do not hate that man enough.
The Misawa portrait :)
Greatest Ribshot of All-Time and I loved CM Punks story on Teddy Atlas. In the words of Bruce Pritchard " Fuck Dave Meltzer"
2:25 Roddy’s inner Winnipegger was on full display here 🫡🫡
Miss you, Rod. ❤️
Dave Meltzer is the Harvey Levin(TMZ) of the wrestling business, except he gets a lot of stuff wrong
I miss Roddy, such a legend!
God bless Piper!
Whatever meltzer says believe the opposite
Just like Trump.
@ I mean I guess lol. Absolutely nothing to do with anything but go off
Half of America has TDS. @@billythekid22220
Just like Harris.
@@tylermcnally8232 I don't disagree, but you're just asking for trolls to come at you here.
Lmaoo im glad i always look up rowdy on TH-cam and bump into this and I love the they live reptile guys in the video 😂😂😂
The portraits of Sean Connery as James Bond and Mel Gibson as William Wallace painted half black in the background. Fucking LOL.
Roddy Piper is on my Mount Rushmore and that’s all there is to that!
Same here, he was my favourite wrestler when i was a kid partly because hogan wierded me out and partly because he was billed from the uk well Scotland to be precise
As usual, The Rowdy One is Correct ..!
R.I.P. Roddy Piper
Roddy was the best!
Roddy be spittin facts. RIP legend
Im sure Piper loved RDJ in TROPIC THUNDER
Half and Half Bond and Wallace haha
Put on the glasses😎!!!! 😂😂😂😂
Well said Piper!!! Dave has been grifting people since the 80s.
Rip roddy piper
'They Live", that is for sure. Dave Meltzer is part of that Tribe. LOL
Yup he is one of the chosenites
You got it Bro.
I have a company called The Wrestling Insider and I’m giving Rowdy Roddy Hot Rod Piper 5 Stars
Roddy meets real life They Live.
"I have comehere to chew bubble gum and kick ass!"
Piper started wrestling at 15 headlined 2 Manias so I doubt he doesn’t know more than Meltzer
What’s crazy is that some people are JUST NOW REALIZING that a “legit wrestling journalist” is a worker as well and always have been.
What bothers me about Meltzer is that he judges a wrestler by how much of a spotmonkey they are, rather than actual charisma or in ring psychology.
3:40 Frogtown! 😂😂😂
God bless Roddy, but he's hard to follow sometimes. I dunno if it was ADHD, but he would start a new thought mid sentence before completing the previous thought. A fantastic talent, but it made his interviews tough to listen to.
Gods, I miss Roddy....
So do I. 😢
Same here an absolute one off of a man
Dave Meltzer is the king of the smarks
was that Alvarez at the end? lol
RODDY U LEGEND
RODDY PIPER FROM THE TOP ROPE!
the hollywood backlot brawl was my favorite match when i was a little kid.
But the ending didn’t confuse you or anything? Dustin in the lingerie? He certainly didn’t look like the chicks in the Sears catalogue 😂😂🤙🏼🤙🏼
@@shanestephens4728 it made me laugh but i was definitely confused
2:11 how did you accurately portray him so well?
I’m wondering when wrestlers are going to realize not one single fan thinks of meltzer as some wrestling guru. He’s a writer with an opinion.
Some still pay him 14.99 per month so these people are out there
The Hollywood Backlot Brawl was originally gonna have OJ Simpson in it. Russo thought it would be good
Poor Piper, he thought the young guys were so over trolls... Wait till he hears about the meltser driver, he would be rolling in his grave.
RIP Roddy
💯💯💯
Love how he just so subtly put over dustin rhodes
I love the nostrils
I love that bond is painted half black lol
Just for this time; you could've change the name to "Head Shot".
Tell me when he's telling lies. Miss you, Hot Rod.
RIP hot rod
Roddy Piper the G.O.A.T.
Begins the interview not knowing Meltzers name, then began to describe in vivid detail their 25 year history. God bless the workers
>just some geek at the keys
Man roddy just buried us all
If only Dave would have given hot rod a 7 star match.
It would be 8 stars in the Tokyo dome
Can you post the part where he talks about Bret Hart.
WHY do all these podcast guys have videos on Meltzer and Russo? Two guys that are a blip in wrestling history seem to be talked about every damn week. Jeez,let it go!
Meltzer has more five star matches than Piper. It says so in The Observer.
It's astounding that Meltzer's name is associated with wrestling. The guy has spent the past 40 years butthurt because he didn't have what it takes to be a WWE jobber. Listening to his takes seriously is like listening to Al Bundy brag about his "4 touchdowns in one game" and not realizing it's a joke.
I've never met anyone who likes Meltzer. How does this guy stay relevant?
Piper doesn't mince words does he?
Is this Travis's animation?
At one point, Dave Meltzer was the guy to go to if you wanted the inside scoop on the wrestling business. But he's obsolete in the podcast age, because the wrestlers are pulling back the curtain themselves these days. So to keep himself relevant to a certain fan base, he shills for AEW now.
You don't mean that Roddy
*SIGH* Oh god, should we be glad Hot Rod didn't live to see AEW constantly trying to ballwash Meltzer's tastes?
Yeah sure, you "don't know him", Mr. Faux "Golden Gloves"... Couldn't even keep that one straight for three sentences, eh?
Funny when a notorious lying sack calls somebody else out for making money by lying. And I'm not in any way defending Unca Dave here - just to be clear.
3:41! You have to be a super nerd to get that joke!
Gayve Meltzer
Meltzer was once a great wrestling historian with regards to matches etc but he's a paid stooge when it comes to dirtsheet nonsense
Meltzer sucks!
Omega, Young Bucks, Okaka and many more who can't sell, do a bunch of flips and gain no fan interest, according to Meltzer, are better wrestlers than Angle, Rock, Austin, Taker and I could go on and on.
