great that you let the wrestlers answer questions and not jump in too soon. keep up the great work and keep doin your thing. I love wrestling and being a small part of it.
I saw Piper, and the Iron Sheik around 1980/81. Piper was wrestling Ricky Steamboat, and Iron Sheik was wrestling Ivan Koloff. Was a very small crowd, but they all put on a heck of a show. This was when Roddy played the bagpipes before the match.
Great interview! Good questions and it seems Piper is an easy interview. I mean that he elaborates on the points he makes and it seems that you don't have to "drag" answers out of him. TRUE legend
Ignore all of the racists and people with ADHD commenting here, who can't focus on the interview from the noise. Great interview, and the upvotes agree with me. Great questions, great answers. Honest. Respect to Piper and Nestor!
Funniest thing ever said in wrestling-"Mean" Gene,"Tonight you face Haku".Piper,"Oh,God bless you".The fact that Piper says and does things that test the strength of time shows what a true legend he is and how much he will always mean to the fans and the business.
Al Snow is another one who has pointed out that a jobber is not somebody who loses matches a lot. He was on Chael Sonnen podcast and explained the difference between a job and a carpenter after Chael had complimented him on the Brilliance of the job Squad idea. " I always explain to to steer into a problem, that was the greatest example I've ever seen. The fans were starting to call you a jobber so you put on a t-shirt that says job Squad pin me pay me, so then the company had to go, "well shit now we can't have him go out and do jobs otherwise we are admitting to the crowd that he's a jobber". Al Snow laughed and said he never even considered that but thinking about it it's very in a way. He said it started out with a joke with Jim cornette and then he explained to Chael that a Jobber was actually a guy who didn’t work for the company itself and only did it is a part time JOB for TV tapings on the weekends Etc it was just a job for them it wasn't their profession.
No disrespect. Your interviews are great. But your lucky Roddy was in a good mood that day. Old school wrestlers tend to have bad attitudes. And Roddy has been known to get nuts. Respect to you for staying in there and asking the tuff questions.
JESUS MAN RODDY LOOKS ANNOYED...I MET HIM & HE WAS NOTHING BUT PLEASANT SMILES AND GOD BLESS YOUS...I THINK HE JUST DIDNT LIKE THE INTERVIEWER OR THE QUESTIONS TRIGGERED HIM.
it's funny, Kamala says in one of his songs he heard Steve Lombardi screaming from Pat's hotel room, and that's probably the reason he is still working there at WWE
Dude, stop finishing Piper's sentences! Nobody came to listen to you, they came to listen to him. Thanks for posting it, but Jesus, you're talking over some golden moments.
I have to agree with TheCroatiaKid. I admire your goal with the interview, but your approach sometimes sounds disrespectful and rude. Having balls is one thing, but you can "have balls" and still have manners. I know being discourteous wasn't your intention, but it's good to get constructive criticism from others to help you along. Glad you got to interview Piper, one of the best! Good job!
complete disrespect for a legend of wrestling. you have in front of you an icon, the man who gave his heart to millions of people even tho he was hated. so much in fact he was stabbed 3 different times all because he played a "bad guy". AND YOU CANT FIND A ROOM THAT IS PRIVATE OR AT VERY LEAST QUIET . this is your job and u fucked it up. you should be ashamed of this. piper deserves better.
I tried watching the first few minutes, but the background noise is unbearable. Jesus, why would you even conduct an interview in that kind of environment?
So when Jake the Snake gave Steamboat a DDT on the cement floor and knocked him out cold, was fake? And the giant bump a few minutes later was fake? And when Jake's snake almost killed him was fake? But Steamboat had to save his life? And when Jake's cobra was bitting Macho Man's arm for a minute was fake? It's not all fake and some of it is very dangerous.
Never thought I would like a guy I used to hate so much. LOL But I did love to hate him, so he did his job great. You sort of forget they're acting and not really jerks.
The question about today is simple. Today it's all about television. TV and PPV is where all the money is. Back in the day it was all about attendance and selling out buildings. They didn't have 12 PPVs a year and a leading cable rating television show every week.
roddy is great as usual the noise is something else if the interviewer had any brains he would have found a better place to speak some of these people in media i swear are backward immigrants that can't even speak ENGLISH or understand it
@TheCroatiaKid thx for saying it was good, but i didnt get what i wanted. i really want non wrestling people to understand these terms. the things i dont know as a fan is what i want to know, and teach. thats what intrigues me. the secrets. thats part of wat i want
@TheCroatiaKid do u really think i want to put the same things that r already out there. that makes no sense. i have an interview coming up wit justin credible. im gonna mention u and have the combosation about this same subject and prove to u my intentions is never to disrespect
@TheCroatiaKid that will b my best video yet because u definitely will c some shit pop off my man. i dont know wat u do wen u get slapped, but its not that simple for me. piece
@TheCroatiaKid normally i would not have responded. but being that from wat i c, u just dont know wat im doing, so i figured i smartin u up. i kind of dont want to b misinterpreted.
This guy's shoot interviews are horrible and that is being nice. I am not one to defend Vince or Hulk but I have never seen anywhere where the two have said wrestling is fake. and for sure not on 20/20 in fact on the 20/20 piece Dr. D slaps John S. for saying it is fake and he worked for Vince. The program I saw Vince make the big announcement back in the day which was so he did not have to pay the athletic commissions was Entertainment Tonight and all he said was that it was what he coined "sports entertainment." I would sure like to see where this guy saw those two saying it was fake. The two biggest people in the business using the F word I do not think so. Vince may have exposed the business but I never have ever seen a program where he uses the F word. If there is I would loves to see it. And finally dude conduct your interviews somewhere where there are not matches going on in the other room. I just had to call you out on your facts you really need to do better research.
listen. im straight up. this is no-kayfaben which means no punches pulled. if i want to know something, i ask. if they dont like the questions then they dont have to answer. not once i disrespected them. i just have the balls to ask wat people dont. so it makes it seem that way. in order for people to understand my site and wrestling period i have to get these inside questions of the busi. so people can understand wrestling better. i want my site to b dif, and thats part of wat makes it dif. thx
THE GUY IS NOT YELLING AT HIM LIKE ROWDY RODDY PIPER ANSWER THE QUESTION SO ROWDY RODDY PIPER ANSWERED THE QUESTION LIKE IT SAYS ON JOHN CENA SHIRT RESPECT SO THATS WHY ROWDY RODDY PIPER ANSWERED THE QUESTION CAUSE THE GUY WAS NICE ABOUT IT
Lol That's so true, back in the day he was a true heel. But it's because of the Psychology of wrestling that he & many back in those days perfected to a tee. Making us believe, either face or heel we believed them. I know I did too, you aint by yourself bro.
@TheCroatiaKid its cool, but i would never disrespect them legend or not. i have nothing but the utmost respect for them. but im not gonna conduct a punk ass video. sorry
@TheCroatiaKid @TheSweepy74 im from the bronx i talk english, with no accent. probably sound a little thug i was raised in the bronx wat u expect. where u from. u probably have an accent to me. i speak clear english. one thing. u said u would have got up and slap me. lol i quarantee theres not a man in this world thats gonna slap me and just walk away.
I love Roddy interviews. He's a smart guy who gets calmer and wiser with age.
Best wrestling interview ever, history knowledge the whole deal right here.
Interviewer is horrible. Roddy is being incredibly patient.
Piper is my favorite wrestler of all time. Really appreciate it man.
This is the most calm and coherent I have ever seen Piper.
Roddy's one in a million!
We'll never see anyone else like him in our lifetimes.
thanks for making this video, one of the best shoots I've seen
Roddy Piper is the man I have always loved this guy terrific wrestler
I didn't expect a history lesson, but love Rowdy's knowledge.
great that you let the wrestlers answer questions and not jump in too soon. keep up the great work and keep doin your thing. I love wrestling and being a small part of it.

Piper seems like a really nice down-to-earth guy.
Roddy Piper is seriously one of my inspirations. Class act through and through.
thanks for this interview. he was one of my favorites growing up... keep them coming.
I really appreciate this interview upload Sweepy. God bless you man.
Noise in the back was bothering Rowdy alot

Quite an insight from Piper.
I only love the last part where Roddy talks about his kids bow cool
This is a great interview
No disrespect. Your interviews are great. But your lucky Roddy was in a good mood that day. Old school wrestlers tend to have bad attitudes. And Roddy has been known to get nuts. Respect to you for staying in there and asking the tuff questions.
That was a great interview.
the back ground noise grounds out the interview
JESUS MAN RODDY LOOKS ANNOYED...I MET HIM & HE WAS NOTHING BUT PLEASANT SMILES AND GOD BLESS YOUS...I THINK HE JUST DIDNT LIKE THE INTERVIEWER OR THE QUESTIONS TRIGGERED HIM.
...You gotta' love this dude!!...
Piper said neither one of them could fight their way out of a wet paper bag lol
This was probably the most uncomfortable interview I have ever seen - - or heard!
it's funny, Kamala says in one of his songs he heard Steve Lombardi screaming from Pat's hotel room, and that's probably the reason he is still working there at WWE
Dude, stop finishing Piper's sentences! Nobody came to listen to you, they came to listen to him. Thanks for posting it, but Jesus, you're talking over some golden moments.
Barry was actually used to train newcomers. So he was. So was the Brooklyn brawler.
You say 'Hall of Famer' and Roddy humbly lowers his eyes. Wow.
I have to agree with TheCroatiaKid. I admire your goal with the interview, but your approach sometimes sounds disrespectful and rude. Having balls is one thing, but you can "have balls" and still have manners. I know being discourteous wasn't your intention, but it's good to get constructive criticism from others to help you along.

AND YOU CANT FIND A ROOM THAT IS PRIVATE OR AT VERY LEAST QUIET . this is your job and u fucked it up. you should be ashamed of this. piper deserves better.
I LIKE TALKING ABOUT WRESTLING IT IS THE BEST SPORT TODAY IN SPORTS
Did you film this at a prison? Maybe try a location that doesn't have people yelling in the back!
Piper, told it the way it is.. GREAT
thx
Good Shoot...Piper is class act all the way. Have u ever interviewed sabu?
I tried watching the first few minutes, but the background noise is unbearable. Jesus, why would you even conduct an interview in that kind of environment?
Interviewer asked good questions
@TheCroatiaKid im glad u like them
i remember that ,he was feuding with buzz saywer at that time
Roddy is the man, could of sworn he would lose his temper cause of some of the questions asked
Do you only interview indie wrestlers? Konnan would be a great shoot interview
So when Jake the Snake gave Steamboat a DDT on the cement floor and knocked him out cold, was fake? And the giant bump a few minutes later was fake? And when Jake's snake almost killed him was fake? But Steamboat had to save his life? And when Jake's cobra was bitting Macho Man's arm for a minute was fake? It's not all fake and some of it is very dangerous.
The guy doing the interview sounds like he could be in the mafia.
probly the 1st time i would have said turn it down to rob zombie to be able to hear Roddy.
yea i knew it. piper is wearing a legends house shirt... lol damn they kept it for that long...
You have to love Roddy.
ROWDY RODDY PIPER IS A REAL AMERICAN
Shane Haley he is CANADIAN
You GOTTA LOVE PIPER :)
Lovely Rob Zombie music in the background about 6:00 in.
Never thought I would like a guy I used to hate so much. LOL But I did love to hate him, so he did his job great. You sort of forget they're acting and not really jerks.
what's your first language? there is no way it's english
be so much better with out the sound in the back ground
The question about today is simple. Today it's all about television. TV and PPV is where all the money is. Back in the day it was all about attendance and selling out buildings. They didn't have 12 PPVs a year and a leading cable rating television show every week.
He was irritated with the lead in.
everyone hear dont lie if you saw rowdy roddy piper you would want to ask him a question
unwatchable cos of the background noise. shame.
I thiink barry horrowits was a carpenter. He was actually a hell of a wrestler.
good shit
i would ask rowdy roddy piper if he would be john cena manager or cm punk manager or daniel bryan manager
@TheCroatiaKid or y dont u do your own interviews that way u ask wat u want.
close the door Rowdy .. so we hear you properly
will do
roddy is great as usual the noise is something else if the interviewer had any brains he would have found a better place to speak some of these people in media i swear are backward immigrants that can't even speak ENGLISH or understand it
@TheCroatiaKid thx for saying it was good, but i didnt get what i wanted. i really want non wrestling people to understand these terms. the things i dont know as a fan is what i want to know, and teach. thats what intrigues me. the secrets. thats part of wat i want
Quick question.
Is Steve Lombardi a 'jobber' or a 'carpenter?'
Sounds like slaughterhouse in the background.....
I consider myself a mark, and in my opinion the business needs more marks and less people who think they are smart to the business.
@TheCroatiaKid do u really think i want to put the same things that r already out there. that makes no sense. i have an interview coming up wit justin credible. im gonna mention u and have the combosation about this same subject and prove to u my intentions is never to disrespect
i interview whoeva i can get to deal with me. i would luv to have conan hes my race.
justin credible brought me here
@TheCroatiaKid that will b my best video yet because u definitely will c some shit pop off my man. i dont know wat u do wen u get slapped, but its not that simple for me. piece
Wat cha mean you can't complain when its free; Wat kinda shit you on bruh?
@TheCroatiaKid the post u deleted was not constructive critism. u talked about me disrespecting him yet straight disrespected me.
@TheCroatiaKid if u go to my site and read the blog u will understand where im trying to go wit this. dont disrespect like that without understanding
@TheCroatiaKid normally i would not have responded. but being that from wat i c, u just dont know wat im doing, so i figured i smartin u up. i kind of dont want to b misinterpreted.

he used to be a vegan i hope he still is
Lol That's so true, back in the day he was a true heel. But it's because of the Psychology of wrestling that he & many back in those days perfected to a tee. Making us believe, either face or heel we believed them. I know I did too, you aint by yourself bro.
santa claus and the easter bunny are real yes yes yes yes yes yes elves are real also yes yes yes yes yes
I don't read all capital letters as shouting/yelling, just ignorant grammar.
WHY ARE WE SHOUTING?
@TheCroatiaKid its cool, but i would never disrespect them legend or not. i have nothing but the utmost respect for them. but im not gonna conduct a punk ass video. sorry
Piper ain't bout that kayfabe.

Don't be a jabroni tough guy.
