I love what you're doing here, pal. I wish you had a membership or Patreon set up. You don't even have a tip option. Well, here's a free tip: Add one of the above. Your channel is more than due for some cha-ching brother.

[@harveymcelroy9332]

Idk Mr t had hands also

[@harveymcelroy9332]

We need a 2009 summer slam video James

[@ThePef96]

In 2015, I was a high school senior singing in the choir at a baseball game (Lancaster Barnstormers.) When we finished our performance and started walking off the field, I realized I had just sung in front of Roddy Piper who was signing autographs at the game. This was 2 months before he passed

[@HarryNua]

My favourite quote by Roddy in Halloween Havoc was . “You bald because of me!”

[@WeAreProWrestling]

He said something similar in a promo after Wrestlemania X; which was the precursor to his Bottom Line segments "I'm the reason Hogan's got no hair, I pulled it all out"

[@jerranspearman3369]

good video

[@harveymcelroy9332]

Rip Hot Rod!

[@carloshill]

Seen Piper's interviews shoot on youtube, and the guy comes off as a likable humble guy. Always been a fan of Piper. He was an amazing face and heel.

[@WeAreProWrestling]

From all accounts Piper knew where he came from & didn't let fame or fortune change him

[@pranavnair9997]

How big of a Feud between Bruno Sammartino and Roddy Piper. How big they drew Viewership in TV and How Big of a Draw their Feud were. Their Feud was Awesome.

[@WeAreProWrestling]

I talk about it in the episode And it doesn't matter how big of a draw it was; it was just cool to see Piper feuding with Bruno

[@arthurjones3670]

My favorite episodes of piper's pit 3 of them 1. Coconut incident 2. Wrestlemania 5 3. Piper's pit that setup the Wrestlemania 3 match between hogan vs andre

[@WeAreProWrestling]

The Coconut & the build to WM 3 are what instantly comes to mind when anyone says Piper's Pit

[@masonclark4770]

Here’s a few questions for you James: 1. What did you think of Piper’s 2009 promo to Chris Jericho, revolving around Mickey Rourke’s movie The Wrestler? To me, it’s one of his best promos ever. 2. Besides They Live, what is Piper’s best film he ever did? 3. Had he had his head on straight, do you think Sean O’Haire would’ve had a better run in WWE? 4. What did you personally think of Piper’s 2003 interview, and was WWE right to be angry with him about it? 5. Have you ever seen the video of Piper doing a training session with kids? It’s on KZbin somewhere and it’s pretty cool to see.

[@WeAreProWrestling]

1. Really good promo; even in 09 Piper still could cut an amazing promo 2. Hell Comes To Frogtown 3. Yes 4. A real eerie interview in hindsight(given how he predicted he wasn't gonna make 65) 5. No I haven't seen it

[@pablo77bar60]

Shortly after 1995 RR Piper had a segment on WWF Television where he comment até about that year RR and how Shawn Michaels won cowardly.... Shawn attacked Roddy The video recently was uploaded on YT

[@WeAreProWrestling]

Just found the video

[@DarthDread-oh2ne]

Three questions for you. 1. Do you think if Jerry Lawler Had gone to WCW and night 93 that we would have seen a Vader and lawler feud ? 2. Who do you think should have won the world title in 2003 Kevin Nash or Scott Steiner ? 3. What is your favorite Roddy Piper in the wwf ?

[@WeAreProWrestling]

1. No 2. Neither 3. ???

[@AnthonyChobotdoespopcult-jz7jr]

I meet roddy piper he was awesome he kisses me on the cheek it will be said in my memoirs

[@Connor-ki8zv]

Roddy Piper was one of those guys who was the first "rebel" of the business till Stone Cold came around. The fact that the IC title and the tag team titles were the only titles Piper ever won is kind of a shame but for all intensive purposes, as the ol' saying goes in wrestling "sometimes you don't need a title to be great". Piper deserved to be in the Hall of Fame although the HBO documentary almost kinda killed that off. Do you believe Piper should have been the WWE/F champion at least once even if it was just short brief reign? Because most like everyone else, I believe he would have made a great champion even if it was just a short term reign.

[@WeAreProWrestling]

Depends on the circumstances; when it takes place & who he drops it to

[@Connor-ki8zv]

@@WeAreProWrestling true.

[@bluethunder250]

A hill I will die on is that the main event at WM1 should have been Roddy vs. Hogan for the WWF Championship.

[@WeAreProWrestling]

The only downside in that is that the 1st Wrestlemania Main Event would have ended in a DQ or Countout But I get it; had Wrestlemania been what Wrestlemania became, then yes have Hogan/Piper for the belt

[@pranavnair9997]

Will you do a Biopic on Bruno Sammartino

[@WeAreProWrestling]

Sometime in the future yes

[@arthurjones3670]

Questions 1. If he did win a wwf title in the 80's which one should he have won and how long should he have held it in the 80's 2. What fantasy match did you wanna see face piper me piper vs andre 3. Rank his Intercontinental championship reign 4. If there was one word you could say about piper james what would it be me (LEGEND).

[@WeAreProWrestling]

1. The problem is he wasn't gonna be given belts during that period; though I'm kind of shocked they didn't give him & Orndorff a brief run as Tag Champs and have Paul take the fall when they lost them 2. Piper/Andre happened & there's videos of their matches online 3. A good short term reign 4. ICON

[@ThunderForce2000]

How do you think Roddy Piper would do in WWE today considering his reluctance to do jobs?

[@WeAreProWrestling]

His reluctancy came from an old school mentality that he may not have had had he been in modern wrestling Piper would have still been a great in the modern days of WWE

[@pranavnair9997]

Why Roddy Piper never Won World Title in either WWE or WCW

[@WeAreProWrestling]

Brought it up in the episode; but it all had to do with Piper being protective of his character

[@brandonjenkins1191]

Should Ronda rousey have used the rowdy name I feel she tarnished it and Roddy would have never let her use it

[@WeAreProWrestling]

Roddy gave his blessing for her to use the name when she was in MMA
