Classic Roddy Piper Interview- Part 1

Full interveiw & more at Highspots.TV! #highspotstv

[@NiGiff]

Had the privilege to meet and speak with Roddy about 8 months before he passed. Very kind man. Miss him.

[@BrimstoneButcher]

We met him in 2014 during fan axxess for Wrestlemania 30 weekend. He was nice!

[@erichillston]

“She was heavy, so I was PAYING the rent if you know what I mean!” One of a kind

[@DeaconYormouth]

The GREATEST. I sat with my eyes glued to the screen the whole video. Miss Piper.

[@nastynate034]

The comment about the "sickness" in Benoit was eye opening

[@russellloomis4376]

Can't wait for part two.

[@rodzor]

Been waiting 7 months 😔😪

[@BrianChinski]

I bought this DVD shoot when Highspots originally released it around 2003. I haven’t seen it in years and forgot how good it is! The interviewer was incredibly prepared and asked appropriate questions in a logical sequence, which I imagine would maybe have been a little harder with Piper’s style and personality. I thought both men kept up and worked well off of each other. And, yes - I’ve STILL got my DVD and "FRATS!" T-shirts tucked away somewhere.

[@clint81]

This is great thank you for posting. We love you Piper

[@blitzburgh3319]

One of a kind, R.I.P Roddy you are missed.

[@kirbypuckett2823]

Thanks for posting this! Piper will always be Remembered as a True ICON of Professional Wrestling👍😎

[@vicvaccani7015]

Roddy knew what McMahon was all about

[@alexello1189]

25:15 for those unaware he’s talking about the twilight zone movie in the early 80’s. The people who died were Vic morrow and two Vietnamese child actors. The footage can be viewed on KZbin.

[@jennyn5692]

Yep. Jennifer Jason Leigh's father.

[@mattlong81]

21:38 chilling.

[@tarotbyfergus954]

For sure. Roddy saw it.

[@bdot187um]

Indeed

[@SubZero_125]

Sure roddy would never thought benoit would kill his family and kill himself.

[@chrisskalski7292]

Great post.

[@damron32720]

Greatest Heel Ever ✌️

[@rodzor]

It's strange with all the accusations against Vince, and all the stuff Billy Jack Haynes has said and accused McMahon of, including murder, now he is arrested himself for murder? The wrestling world is messed up, Piper knows what he's talking about, RIP

[@MasteroftheDDT]

Cutthroat business might b an understatement.

[@Cultofpersonality09129]

@@MasteroftheDDTthat capitalism.

[@Cultofpersonality09129]

Billy is a nutbar.

[@exspiravit6920]

​@@Cultofpersonality09129Yeah that's not capitalism dummy. That's everywhere, people just hate it because they don't have much and can't figure a way to make more $$. I totally get it too. It ain't easy finding a score or racket for yourself/family. (But a system that gives people things is the death of all human art and endeavor, so not gonna happen in the u.s not on a large scale.)

[@CujoKelly]

I think Billy Jack did it hoping him and Vince would serve time together and he could finally get that DNA sample.

[@josemontano7767]

RIP HOT ROD you made my childhood ROCK!

[@mercilessforever]

Roddy was such a cunning pro wrestler. What a great worker and mic man!

[@StusGameReviews]

This man was a gem. And a legend.

[@gw593]

Love Piper. He came to my school and spoke back in Winnipeg. Wish I would have been smart enough to go talk too him😢

[@gordonirvine726]

Interesting what he says about Benoit.

[@energyasylum997]

One of the greatest heels in wrestling EVER, Mr Roddy Piper. Rest In Peace🙏🏽✌🏼

[@James-xx4kb]

R.I.P. Hot Rod

[@FranchiseVideosINC]

Part two PLEASE

[@LSD-33166]

Heavy interview, touches on mafia running athletic commisons, owens sabotaged harness, benoits concussed shelhocked mind, patterson hating him for being a stand up guy, vinces exploitation of workers. I'm only half way though. You know he's seen a lot of dark stuff

[@joeholtster1891]

He called it. Benoit having the sickness.

[@LSD-33166]

and this is like 3 years before he snapped, vince works em like circus animals

[@leppak42088]

I just love piper. What a legend. He seems so honest and genuine and down to earth. Rip Roddy Piper.

[@bigbad123321]

I get the impression that Piper wasn't a very happy man. Just going off his body language and his mannerisms. Its very sad, because he gave myself and so many others such great memories when we were kids. RIP Roddy

[@LSD-33166]

cocaine blues

[@marial916]

Part 2 please!🙏

[@clint81]

Yes

[@big-chill9058]

Honest Man

[@Met182]

This is tremendous. Thank you! Will you be uploading part 2?

[@mechagojira6951]

Boy at 1:12:54 to 1:13:00 you really see Roddy's love for Gordon Solie...pretty deep

[@matthiasbocksch4180]

was able to see him in Dortmund at Movie Days 2013... he was talking about Gene LeBell and stuff

[@MinuitDeLacroix]

@23:49 one of various occasions where he mentions the Harts as his cousins. RIP Owen.

[@rodzor]

50:33 😂😂😂

[@InYourHeadChangedMan]

DDP was made fun of for having all his matches written down and planned move for move but that's literally what they do in wrestling now everything is mapped out to a tee

[@CamDoubleday]

50:26 L M F A O !!! I love Piper god bless him!

[@jasonlinton9902]

That werstlemania 1 story was crazy people thought wrestling was real back then and piper and orton were the biggest heels in the buisness at that time people hated them anything could have happened standing out there waiting for a cab while vince hogan and mr t were partying

[@Canadian_Skeptical]

we miss you. Roddy!

[@jasonlinton9902]

Ill never for get that one interview hot rod did when he was asked about gays in the buisness back in the day he was asked about guys like pat patterson and lord alfred hayes when asked about it roddy just looked up paused and said if you were young coming up in wrestling back then it was a tough buisness a real tough buisness it was like he was having flashbacks he was telling us in so many words everything we heard was true

[@LSD-33166]

never liked pp

[@jamesmainstream3112]

Owen woulda had a job waiting at WCW (which, according to his brother, was where he wanted to go) if he were fired. So, if he thought he woulda gotten fired for walking instead of the gimmick, one would assume he would have happily walked out to the ring. Either way, Roddy was the man when I was a kid. He was the first heel/antihero I ever cheered for. First time I thought to myself as a youngster, "damn, the bad guy is cool/funny." RIP to a legend, and thanks for the good memories.

[@LSD-33166]

and he wanted out his contract, but vince had other plans

[@charles2675]

Good man

[@MyMg23]

where is part 2?

[@cal9784]

"Ask anything and I'll tell you the truth". A minute later he's talking utter pish claiming to have lived in the Gorbals. Wouldn't have it any other way!

[@raczkaruffino1882]

Very kool- only problem is I have to rewind every 5 minutes to try and make sense of what he said, and even then ..... Thank you tho in any event 🙏

[@rodzor]

I slowed it down to 0.75 speed give me more time to try to make sense of it lol

[@marial916]

I didnt have any trouble following along but he did ramble a lot lol❤

[@raczkaruffino1882]

Gearing up for part 2, highspota has nest tube site!

[@LSD-33166]

I have him at 1.25x and still understand every word, even the subtle stuff, like how he mentions the sports commisions, which were controlled by crime families, and then mentions jfk

[@darthslater6077]

MY FAVORITE!!

[@MasteroftheDDT]

Ppl usually kill for love or money. Owen dropped Austin(the cash cow) on his head. Austin had 2 take time off 4 neck surgery after survivor series '99...🤔

[@nonyabiz550]

Maybe they did kill Roddy. He said murder

[@MasteroftheDDT]

@@nonyabiz550 Savage is the 1 that bothers me 4 some reason. It's ironic that a slim jim endorsement was wat pretty much 'blackballed' Vinny when that's y he hated Randy. God only knows wat they've done 2 ppl. The old saying; "f_ck him. No, no let's bring him in THEN f×ck him". Devious man.

[@LSD-33166]

Dude that was an 'amatuer' was an associate of Kansas mafia, total setup. VInce father was a mobbed up due to running MSG, ny being genovese, luchese, gambino territory

[@doubles7533]

What year was this from?

[@chrisjames5188]

2003 I think

[@ОленаРожкован]

Roddy piper 💕😘

[@brandonthomas9288]

He seems like a guy I could have hung with. No bullshit or ego.

[@tomdotson6053]

What yr was this

[@jennyn5692]

2003

[@rodzor]

​@@jennyn5692Correct.

[@nonyabiz550]

Yeah, but those howers did it to themselves. They could've been loyal to the territories instead of making that devil a monopoly. It was obvious in the early 80's where it was headed but they did it anyway.

[@tomh1593]

Only believe half of whatever Roddy said.

[@nonyabiz550]

Exactly, he played or ge wouldn't have gotten where he did. Supposedly, he "had a boy". He's always non committal when asked and these marks just fantasize he was the victim and never perp

[@DannyGautama]

Just curious, what is reason when you said to believe half of what he said.?

[@michaelrubin9547]

​@@DannyGautamaeverything he said is true

[@DannyGautama]

@@michaelrubin9547 Thank you, Michael. I always found him to be honest. 👍🏽

[@LSD-33166]

he was saying how shady vince and his underlings were..he was spot on, wise up, he spotted benoit had a problem, wasnt even working with the dude on a professional level, yet his colleagues didnt have a clue, roddy knows whats up, and is actually holding back here

[@ludwigvoncocksucker3275]

miss you roddy. rip
