Roddy Piper was a North American treasure. RIP
Bill Maher should learn not to throw rocks at a man that has a machine gun.
He was murdered .
@@Franco1395 Amen for "ROWDY" Roddy Piper 🥀😢
I used to have respect for Rowdy Roddy Piper. Now I have even more respect.
Piper was an amazing man. He was always helping his fellow wrestlers who worked their entire lives for the business, but never ended up with the money he did.
true!

@@billrose9954I would rather watch a rerun of Piper’s Pit than most other stuff! I loved when RRP would get into arguments with Mr.Wonderful, Paul Orndorff!
Oh I see, a play on words..
❤😊
Roddy Piper: "then how'd you get the job?"😂😂😂I have NEVER seen Maher get owned like this. The look of humiliation on Maher's face was PRICELESS!!!
Roddy was quick witted and funny
I used to like Bill Maher. I thought he was...smart. I'm going to have to live with that for the rest of my life.
Me too...someone got me to watch religulous, and I REALLY liked it for its deconstruction, now idk how to feel 😂😂😂
Yeah bro haven’t been able to watch him for 6 years
Agreed as well. Political views aside…. We saw him humbled , and scared, and for once…. He wasn’t so comfortable.
It's nothing to be ashamed of. He used to push a lot of progressive ideas. M4A, taxing the rich, stopping deregulation, destigmatizing socialism, addressing climate change, and more. The panel debates were pretty good because he get good guests. He would bring in people from different walks to share their point of view. HE changed. He saw Rogans Spotify deal and started courting the same audience. He gave up on looking up facts and speaking from an educated standpoint. The show, and I'm talking about Real Time, was interesting for a bit.
Same & I do think he is smart. He has just become to tirelessly obnoxious and completely detached from the reality of what it’s like being a normal person.
I'm tearing up and missing Rowdy.
goat.

Bobby the Brain, 1 of the funniest people EVER!!!! Bobby you've gone to a better place....
Roddy did that movie where he put on the sunglasses and could see the alien takeover. It’s a perfect analogy for me when I saw outside the liberal bubble and understood how evil Biden was. Can’t remember the name of that movie but he was absolutely great in it!
Rowdy was the best. Best wrestling personality ever
"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass...and I’m all out of bubblegum." -Roddy Piper
Never fuck with Piper when he has a mic...he'll destroy anyone.
Great wrestler and star of one of the greatest films of all time.
THEY LIVE! ❤
@@markw110 With some of the best quotes ever, Came here to kick ass and chew bubblegum, and I'm all out of bubblegum
"Well, how did you get the job?" was one of Piper's biggest takedowns ever.
no question.
-rick
@@tytsports how did Hassan Piker get his job?
Couldn’t possibly have anything to do with the fact that he’s related to your boss.
Piper was so sharp, man. Maher isn’t used to sparring with those that are sharper than him. You could really see him visibly struggling trying to best Piper. No one beat Piper in a battle of words.
R.I.P. Rowdy Roddy Piper. He and Keith David created the greatest fight scene in movie history.
And one of the realest movies if you take a look at the very root premise of it... Media = Medium = Hypnotizing Minds
They live
Actual contact in a couple of spots. Roddy just laughed it off.🙏
"Well, how'd you get the job?" HOLY SHIT! That was a verbal body slam right out of the ring!
"You do not throw rocks at a man with a machine gun!" - "Rowdy" Roddy Piper
RIP Rowdy Roddy Piper 🙏🏿🕊️ #TheyLived
It should have been described as scripted and not fake. The athletics is real, but it is scripted results. It is athletic theater.
I've always enjoyed the theatrical element, the choreographed performance/ Of course, I don't like watching real fighting b/c it is ruthlessly and horrifically violent, dreadfully boring too and akin to non-sexual porn/ I doubt that Maher has ever been involved in any sort of violent altercation or endured the brutal physical punishment of combat sport/
He's lucky Roddy didn't snatch his ass up.
Maher likes to get confrontational with anyone who pushes back the slightest when his views. He takes it way too far.
Getting to the point where it could become physical.
Funny thing is, Maher seems to think of himself as a tough guy. (He’s not)
It’s hard to believe he hasn’t had that chain pulled before.
I miss Roddy. He was one of a kind for sure.
He was a pretty decent actor too, his character from the movie "They Live" was a total badass. Lots of great one liners and the longest and most brutal fight sequence ever put on film. His wrestling skills probably played a part in that no doubt.
Roddy Piper is a legend. Lived and breathed wrestling. He’s sorely missed. Thanks for the memories. xxx
he is the one reason i went to the arena's to watch wrestly when he started and finished,funny serious man,and definitely could hurt mahr bad,er bad
Heenan didn't want to induldge. Sting was very gentleman about it. Piper wasn't having it.
true.
-rick
Pissing Piper off isn’t smart
ever!
-ric
Piper is the wrong dude to get in a verbal argument about wrestling I'm surprised The Brain didn't get on him to
Roddy was a real one. If you could look through Roddys glasses at Bill Mahr you would see an alien
I love it👍🏻 I just recently got “they live” special Blu-ray dvd👍🏻👍🏻 loved roddy piper in that!!! He should have told bill “I’m here to kick ass and chew bubble gum…and I’m all out of bubblegum”😝
@@chrisstephenson8311 that would have been freaking awesome
Piper was a class act! Sad that he’s gone
Need more Canadians like Roddy Piper.
"It's all fake."
No, it's scripted. MASSIVE difference.
These people are athletes and stunt performers. They train themselves to be able to pull off the moves and take the hits.
Yes, most are pulled punches and the ring is padded. But their bodies get brutalized by the sport.
The dedication and training and skill required to be a professional wrestler is something few people can endure.
Just because the "show" is scripted and the fights largely choreographed doesn't negate the talent and training involved.
They require infinitely more skill and talent to be wrestlers than Maher needs to be an asshole on TV.
thank you.
-ric
@@tytsports My friend's uncle was George "The Animal" Steele (real name was William James Myers). Who was an awesome guy.
And yeah, the hard work and dedication that went into being a professional wrestler is insane. And the injuries suffered were no joke.
It always bugs me when people brush wrestling off as just "fake" without acknowledging that while the whole thing is scripted, that doesn't take away from the skill of the wrestlers.
It's similar to movies, how stunt performers have to take hits, go flying, and all that. Except in wrestling, you don't have wires and padding.
I worked as an actor/stuntman in the 90's and had the honour of working with Roddy Piper on 'Back in Action'.
He was a true gentleman and as a fan that has watched as a kid with my grandparents every Saturday growing up it was one of the highlights of my career.
Piper was thee absolute best promo in the business. Talked asses into seats
yea he was awesome.
-rick
💯 PIPER 💯👍
RIP Roddy Piper
He tried to insult Piper and paid for it...he fucked around and found out.
Bill Maher is just as annoying today as he was then
Bill Maher was completely out of line and disrespectful
LOL "I'm not dropping my pants in front of other men"
"Then how'd you get the job?" 💀💀💀💀
You just didn't dare give Piper an inch... Maher didn't go his homework.
Go way back when roddy was rasslin in mexico came out with bag pipes was told to play the mexican national athem and played la coocha roacha i was on the floor man they were hot its a wonder he got out Alive ha ha ha ha
Piper Was awesome, Maher not so much!
Piper was an amazing guy, a great wit on Piper's Pit. Rest in peace, Roddy.
Maher's problem is that he thinks he is bigger and smarter then everything and everyone on his shows. I was never a wrestler fan and don't consider it a sport. It is entertainment much like Fox says they are, instead of news, every time they are in court.
What do you think sports are :
an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment. n activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment.
Wrestling is no different than football, baseball, basketball, hockey, etc
@@Jokerasylum14 With an outcome that is determined by the individual or team out playing the competition. Once you plan it out, it is purely entertainment.
4:30 - Maher learns the hard way that when you trade barbs with Roddy Piper you’ll get burned. Every time. 😆
R.I.P., Hot Rod.
Dearly missed. Smart man.
"You're gonna find out one thing: You do not throw rocks at a man who's got a machine gun!"- Roddy Piper
Bill Maher never got that memo it seems because he did just that trying to verbally spar with Rowdy Roddy Piper
Rowdy Roddy Piper,one of the all time greats. The shit!! Bill Maher,what a clown!!!
total clown.
-rick
I'm not dropping my pants in front of other men.
Well how'd you get the job? 😂😂 Ded!
Maher big mistake was that he thought these guys were stupid
He always thinks he's smarter than everyone else. He's not. He should have watched what happened to jaraldo riveria. That big wrester barely slapped him and almost killed him.
Wrestling is 100% staged and fake .
@@richcampbell6808 Agree and disagree. If we worked together to pick you up and slam you on the ring, would be the pain be fake?
I wish they’d included the comments from Bobby Heenan, he had some real zingers and Bill gave him credit saying “Now I know why they call you the brain”. He could have made it on the traditional comedy circuit himself in another life.
I came into the comment section, to kick ass, and chew bubblegum. And I'm all outa bubblegum!
And that was Pipper being nice.
Heel or face, don't mess around with Rowdy Roddy Piper.
Bill loves to talk down to people when he has no morals or self respect
Pro wrestling does put a lot on the wrestlers. Sad to hear so many passed away too soon. RIP Roddy Piper, Bobby Heenan, Bray Wyatt, Owen Hart, Bossman, Brodie Lee etc..
ROWDY RODDY PIPER is the MAN. THEY LIVE!
John Carpenter film They Live is prophetic documentary about reptilian entities that have exponentially multiplied since the '80s era and Bill Maher is one of them/ Politics and the economy are the most horrendous jokes, preposterous absurdities/
I honestly never understood the negative press. Every TV show and movie is basically the same thing. All scripted, stunts, acting. These wrestlers are doing it all in front of a live crowd. The lack of respect is rather ignorant. I haven't watched in over 20 years, it doesn't have to be your cup of tea. At least give credit where credit is due. These Ladies and men are doing it live first take. They are playing the entire part, no stunt man coming out and taking the hit cause your leading man is afraid of getting hurt.
Bill has never been bright.
Piper was the wrong guy to have on if you wanted a soft touch
RIGHT!!!!
I always found it hilarious that the people who mock pro wrestling are the same people worship movie stars who have stunt doubles do all their moves.
Roddy Piper never took off the glasses.
He should not have disrespected those wrestlers like that. Totally disrespectful.
"We're actors, we're stunt people, we are gymnasts all in one, we are a sports/entertainment... we are an industry by ourselves, we are very unique people."
Succinct and eloquent.
WWE? Eloquent? The bar is low in MagaDump Bowel Movement.
@@Greg-io1ip I have better things to do than to watch the WWE, I was stating that her summation was what it was all about, they are about as genuine as the GOP.
R.I.P. Roddy.
I used to watch Piper on Portland wrestling. He was a hard working good man. RIP 🙏❤️
R.I.P Rowdy Roddy Piper. He was always a real one. Mahr must've never seen Pipers pit. That was the last guy you wanted to go a war of words with.
Seth MacFarlane just did the same to Mr. Maher. Made him look as intelligent as Aaron Rodgers. Nice work Seth and Sting 👍
You can't mess with Rowdy. Rowdy is fire, Maher is playing with fire. Rowdy is way more intelligent than Maher...
I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum.
lol.
-rick
I saw a Piper on his speaking tour a bunch of years back now, and he was one of the most genuine, kind, interesting, engaging speakers I've ever seen in my entire life. And even though it was at comedy works, and there were moments of comedy, it was really just him telling tales, many of which were very heartbreaking, but also, no one in the crowd wanted him to stop talking. RIP to one of the best
He was never funny, never clever and never intelligent.
Exactly. I've seen his standup comedy back 20 or so years ago and it's BS, total garbage, not funny. His "humor" is all sarcasm, it's like hanging out with your mother-in-law. Worthless. That's how his show and everything else he does, too. Maher talking about wrestling being fake, that's rich. I'd like to have a conversation with him about his garbage content, POS communist.
Piper is a legend 👌👌 I love his straight talking, no bs , rip brother 🙏🙏🙏
I remember watching this the night it aired. Maher was (and is) so arrogant and ignorant. Any wrestling fan in the '90s knew who the best talkers were. TWO of them were on that stage: Piper & Heenan. No one with any brains would try and outwit Piper. Piper might've been more famous for his mic skills than the actual matches.
Roddy Piper showed what a wimp bill really is.
When I was growing up in the 90s, most of my friends were huge pro wrestling fans. I used to tease them the same way, "you know it's fake, right?"
Eventually, it dawned on me that MOST televised entertainment is fake, especially the violence... You don't knock the latest Jason Statham movie for fake violence... You accept that it's fake, get past that, and be entertained...
Once I had that revelation, I joined my friends and became a fan of pro wrestling myself... I don't watch or follow pro wrestling anymore simply because my free time is more limited and I spend it on higher priorities, but I don't knock pro wrestling or it's fans any more.
NO bra, just NO.
Remember the Iron sheik life was in danger because the fans believe that WWF was real.
@@talkingbutt3150Jim Cornette had his life threatened on numerous occasions.
Piper was stabbed multiple times. Bill Maher would’ve shit his pants if Piper really did go after him.
On a side note, I met Roddy Piper back in 2005 almost 20 years ago when I was 15 and he was the absolute NICEST and warmest guy ever! Dude talked to me and my buddy for five minutes while there was a huge line behind us and let us take multiple pictures and autographs. Piper was the greatest Wrestler on the Mic of all time. Rest in Peace Hot Rod!
I knew it. Bill Maher never had any comedic talent. Man he must have had his nose deep in some crevice to get where he did. He certainly had/has no skills to speak of.
You know, I wasn’t a big piper fan back in the day, but I’ve really come to like the guy and respect him. How can you not? He’s very likable. Very genuine guy. RIP.
They live! Is a masterpiece! I He was such an underrated actor! Miss u Roddy! R I.P. forever!🎉
Rest in peace, Piper
No way Maher was ever gonna outwit him.
The 80s weren’t THAT long ago when this was made. By now it was common knowledge not to bring Piper on your show, and try to provoke him.
The clip is actually from 1999, as Maher directly references.
I met Roddy Piper once, I can say hands down one of the nicest celebrities I've ever met.
This happened 30 years ago.
25 years ago.
Nope. This was from very late 1999 -- making your comment only a bit over 24 years later. No need to make us feel even older than we are. IoI
Criticizing the doctrine of Islam is NOT Islamophobia. Nobody gets called a ‘christophobic’ when they criticize Christianity. Islamophobia is a cheap excuse for not having an educated argument.
Is pro wrestling scripted? Yes...absolutely. Are pro wrestlers athletes? You bet they are. The life of a pro wrestler is not easy. Putting your body through that kind of abuse on top of training and travel all year long. I have nothing but respect for pro wrestlers and the life they lead. The matches may be scripted...but it's physicality is definitely not fake.
Wrestling is no joke. Staged outcomes (mostly) but the risk of the stunts is crazy dangerous. These are outstanding athletes.
Hell, he's promoted Gavin Newsom as President. Anyone seen what Newsom has done to his own state?? Ya want that for the country?
God I love Piper, he really rocked. Owen was such a loss, I still remember when it happened...
Never been a fan of wrestling. Roddy Piper is a legend. Damn fine man. Outspoken advocate and working class hero, miss you.
Yep, Pro wrestling is embarrassing to watch but Piper is a great guy. He handled the criticism well.
Wrestlers are now "working class heros"??? don't you mean that they are all pedophiles like hollywood? After all...They are in fact actors...They are paid to put on a show and act...No?
@@SavageAudits Well at least we can admit that watching "pro" "wrestling" is embarrassing lol
Piper was the real deal. R.I.P. Hot Rod....we all miss you.
I miss Piper, what a great man he was. He was my favorite growing up.
I worked executive protection at a Marriott when they were in Detroit. I think in 97, he stayed and signed autographs, even though you could see he was tired. Hulk Hogan did not.
I was just thinking the same thing watching this. He was a good dude. Makes me want to watch They Live again.
Rowdy Roddy Piper did an excellent job in John Carpenter's They Live
Roddy was an unsung hero and talent.
There was a moment in that clip, when I honestly thought Roddy was going to pick Bill up and throw him across the studio. He had a smile on his face, but it was the look a Lion gives a Gazelle it's about to have for lunch!
Piper and Hennan. Two of the sharpest wits in the industry. The one booking the shows knew what they was doing.
Roddy a class act, sadly missed...
Hulk Hogan said it best, "You can't fake gravity, brother."
Mahr doesn't believe or care about anything. He can do a complete 180 if he thinks it will get ratings. He looks at Joe Rogan's success and thinks that should be him.
seems like it.

Piper was out of bubblegum
Very much out of Bubblegum.
Bobby Heenan is a national treasure
Monsoon Heenan Gold
@@benhubbell7525Bobby was incredibly good at getting heat as a manager, but it wasn’t til he started doing commentary that i became aware of how quick-witted he was. Not surprising that he and Jim Cornette had great mutual respect for each other.
@stepintothefreezer Bobby made u tune in every week the dude could have u laughing 2 hours straight
RIP Owen. Such an amazing wrestler and from all accounts, a nice dude.
Piper and Heenan were the sharpest knives in the drawer with comebacks and insults, Maher was in way over his head. He's lucky Heenan was holding back.
Bill's lucky Roddy didn't knock him out for real. And Sting was so well-spoken and intelligent here.
The fight is scripted. The fighting is real. Very simple.
professional stunt man and I respect them.
Blll mahar sucked balls for his position back in day , and he must have did repeat service ro stay were hes at roday , even jay leno retired for f sakes , what a mean job he must have done .
Bill Maher thinks he knows the answers when he don't even KNOW THE QUESTIONS!
Rip Roddy.
Roddy Piper was professional wrestling. God was he great. These kids today missed out.
Bill was approaching this from a point of confrontation, he knew this would stir the pot.
The outcome of matches are pre-determined, but the athletic ability required to get there is astounding.
Pipper, ' How did you get the job' 😂😂😂 I lost it!
Rowdy Roddy is a legend
Piper is the fuckin MAN! 💪💪💪
4:42 is absolutely classic, love seeing that smug look on Maher’s face fade away.
People like Bill Maher will go to a movie and rave about the great fight scenes they just saw then go to a Pro Wrestling event and watch a live action show by highly trained and professional stunt people and criticize it as fake.
