This was way ahead of it's time. Russo knew exactly how to evolve the wrestling business after Attitude Era despite what the marks would think. The original idea with a lot of the TNA PPVs was to have a basic structure but let the talent improvise on the spot. It would make segments like this feel 100% real because it was all going to be a shoot. Unfortunately that idea died right here but I would love to see this idea brought back because controversy creates cash. 💸

@Kaynen Vasquez totally agree the improvise on the fly stuff was where wrestling needed to go this stuff was evolving to the next level and the fact that the reactions were 100% real made it all the better although it was chaotic this was imo the best show nobody ever saw and sadly wrestling bubble people were afraid to take this direction

[@SaviorAssassin]

@@homieprophet696 What do you mean it needs a new direction? What exactly do you think is best for the wrestling business?

[@woobgamer5210]

except, this thing was entirely a shoot controlled, improvised, and thought of by Piper. And he was right, TNA spun out of control during the Russo era. And it didn't get better during the Hogan era either. Roddy was wrong about one thing, TNA wouldn't die because of Russo, it nearly died because of Hogan. But Russo sure wrote a lot of garbage and made a lot of stupid stipulations

[@biteme9065]

You also forget that he bankrupted two wrestling shows but oh well

Roddy had the balls. This promo is still hard to listen to.

[@tiheiharawira855]

When Roddy mentioned Owens death the crown was silenced crazy R.I.P Roddy Piper

[@raffarmenio6933]

When he yelled into the mic He's Dead! my heart broke with HotRod.

[@michaelcoffey408]

Pne of the greatest promos from the greatest entertainer wrestling ever saw

[@jamesbaker5832]

I am 55 years old and it brings a tear to my eye when he asked about Owen . A superstar gone way to early .And you can tell it still hurts Hot Rod. Vince Russo almost killed wrestling wish he had died that night

[@LadyDragonsblood]

I am 58 years old, and have been a wresting fan for 53 of those years that started at my grandmother's knee. I could NOT agree with you more. VERY WELL SAID, MY FRIEND!

[@Simouno]

This is great television and what wrestling is supposed to be: shoot on the promos, work in the ring

[@chriswideman1218]

Piper was playing "60 Minutes" with Russo while interrogating the real questions.

[@wolfhurricane897]

Legends say Cornette watches this day after day.
