Roddy Piper Promo on Buffalo (11-03-1984)

[@MrSpt67]

Piper was a genius! Especially with a microphone! It’s interesting when you read Piper’s autobiography because he explains that he always tried to reference current events in his interview’s. It grabbed the fan’s attention! Piper really was great at mastering the psychology of his craft !!!

[@timhockett7605]

A legend wrestler

[@BudSchnelker]

Awesome. I was at this show. JYD did in fact win the battle royal but the highlight of the night was definitely the live Piper's Pit. As for bringing his "complete entourage" of Piper's Pit, it was nothing more than two wooden folding chairs! I still marked out like crazy for Piper, though.

[@THECLARENCES]

Long live the memories of Roddy & Mean Gene. xoxo The Clarences

[@roddyboethius1722]

Classic Roddy, one of the best actors

[@tissaboo1984]

This was exactly 2 weeks before I was born! Which means this was on a Saturday. I love it!! So cool! Mean Gene's eye rolls are the best. You know he's probably thinking, oh Lord, here goes Roddy with his nonsensical tangents... 😂😂😂😂. I love these promos so much. Hot Rod was such a delight!! ♥️

[@martyzimmerman844]

Piper pissing on buffalo lol too funny.I love pipers promos. I'm from buffalo.

[@martyzimmerman844]

Ha me too I grew up on this shit. Its bullshit now. Andre the giant spit on me cause I said he sucked. Lol

[@martyzimmerman844]

Yeah at least it was on my shirt. That fucker can spit lol.

[@martyzimmerman844]

Aaron Rice yeah bro there was phlegm mixed with it I was probably 13 or 14 years old at the time.

[@Lewis9709]

+marty Zimmerman I heard Andre was rude to the fans, and actually an asshole. I guess that confirms it.

[@tommyt1971]

Yeah, I was a Bills fan and gave up. Four numbers: 25, 26, 27, 28. ‘Nuff said.

[@wadeclark5088]

I miss Roddy, he was the best.

[@battlestarmarc]

Piper was perhaps the best heel ever. Piper panther shirt was great.

[@jayanxiety]

Ad-lib at its finest! Piper just made it up as he went along and it was pure gold!

[@theMETALDOVE]

thank you for the upload. never seen this before. nothing better than a piper promo.

[@ronaldshank7589]

"Rowdy" Roddy Piper:What a HAM! A bit on the mean-spirited side (Actually...more than that!), but a ham, nonetheless! You could tell that he liked "Mean" Gene Okerlund, though... even gave Ol' Gene a little kiss on the back of his head, to prove it! Roddy Piper was one of the rare few that knew how to ham it up, whether he was a Heel, or a Fan Favorite!

[@CARTOONIVERSE1]

If I was a young wrestler *I'd spend all my time outside of ring-training & workouts, watching as much old footage of matches & promos by the *greats* as I possibly could. *They DON'T & it really shows.*

[@radioman6489]

Piper the GREAT

[@ronaldshank7589]

"The Rowdy Scot" Roddy Piper knew how to do it all! I miss those days...

[@stacyhamilton2619]

Amazing riff! RIP nobody, nothing about me.

[@rayjohnson4741]

Piper hit that right on the nose

[@billbrooks6756]

CLASSIC BUFFALO SLAM!!!! I'M FROM BUFFALO WHO'S JOE FERGUSON! LMAO!

[@martyzimmerman844]

Me too I'll miss old hot rod.

[@madmax6905]

Ferguson? Is that the guy who retired and opened up a hot dog stand on Chippewa street?

[@kratoscraken5614]

Buffalo practiced harder because of Piper 💪

[@dm95422]

RIP Hot Rod

[@petercondos1018]

They Live .... Hot Rod .

[@CARTOONIVERSE1]

*"Junkie Yard Dog".* Piper always slides-in some nasty *truth* in his promos.

[@ronaldshank7589]

Yeah...he was known for that.

[@BudSchnelker]

The Bills were a wretched 2-14 that year, losing their first 11 games and not winning a game until 3 days before this card.

[@ronaldshank7589]

Yikes!!! The only NFL Team that I saw, that did worse than that, was The Cleveland Browns, which, only a few years ago, had an 0-16 record! They couldn't have BOUGHT a win! Thankfully, they're doing a lot better now! Go Browns! (Unless you play my Pittsburgh Steelers)!

[@kennygopal]

Piper was the best

[@chiefbeef1003]

IM FROM SLAM AND I LOVE BUFFALO

[@billb5690]

Lol. Classic!

[@samsungtab1801]

I could play football, I can do anything. ln high school I was the man most likely to marry the cheerleader squad...

[@stacyhamilton2619]

People still do the stenography thing? How about a creative comment of your own? You don't see Roddy plagiarizing.

[@johnburla]

The funniest part of this little skit for me, was when Piper kissed Mean Gene on top of his bald head!~lol Only a real man could get away with that, without fear of condemnation. 😗

[@Koexistence13]

" At great expense....."

[@dewayneblue1834]

Man is this old, he's making fun of poor old Joe Ferguson who's playing in his 12th and final season for the Bills, the Jim Kelly era is still 2 years away.

[@tommyt1971]

Funny thing is that if Rod ever tangled with the Bills’ defensive line back then it’d be a slaughter…

[@stacyhamilton2619]

Irrelevant, ya mark. The fighting is pantomime. What would happen if the Bills tried to string a coherent sentence together in Piper's presence? Private Terry Daniels level of Slaughter!

[@bobgoldberg4773]

Junky yard puppy

[@ronaldshank7589]

You can bet for sure, that he wouldn't have called JYD that to his face! (Then again...he just might have)!!!

[@DixiePokerAce]

@@ronaldshank7589 It was common knowledge of those in the business that JYD had a serious drug habit. It is a shame because JYD was seriously over with fans EVERYWHERE he wrestled. Wasn't great in the ring but had amazing charisma. He definitely could work a crowd and draw money.

[@JohnDoe-id1es]

I've been to Buffalo. It's almost as bad as Cleveland

[@DUARTE99]

It’s Piper so I’ll let it pass.

[@madmax6905]

Who would name their city after the most dirty , discussing obnoxious animal on the earth? Buffalo?

[@BudSchnelker]

I take it you've never been to Dungbeetleville.
