Greatest heel the sport ever knew. Thing I realized about him while watching a lot of these clips recently is that he did as much for his enemies as he did for his allies and himself - he made them look good while making himself into a star.
Also was nice when Terry Funk, slapped Mel Phillips, around, too bad he did lay some of his chops in real good. Roddy Piper "There ain''t any hubcaps missing in the parking lot." LOL
I wonder if comedian Bill Burr saw this when he was younger. In his infamous Philly rant, Burr talked about how Rocky Balboa, a fictional character, seemed to get more love from Philadelphia than Joe Frazier did.
Nobody in the history of wrestling could get as much straight up, legitimate heat as a heel AND intense pop as a fan favorite when he was a face as Piper did.
This was the very tail end of Piper's heel run before he left for the summee. Explains why he's not interviewing an actual wrestler starting a new feud.
1:You saw how nice he was to the spiky-haired young lady. 2:He and Cowboy Bob Orton nearly came to blows near the end of this segment. Right then and there, this was where he was beginning to transition from heel to fan favorite, even though he used most of his time in this segment to be a heel by insulting the crowd. That's what he was paid to do. By late summer or early fall of that year, Piper completed his turnover to being a fan favorite, when he began a feud with "Adorable" Adrian Adonis. By then, "Acey" (Bob Orton, Jr.), had deserted Roddy Piper, & joined Adrian Adonis. Then, Don Muraco was brought onto Piper's Pit. To everybody's shock and horror, Muraco turned on Roddy Piper, and joined up with Adrian Adonis, Jimmy Hart, and Bob Orton, Jr. Piper, however, evened the score by destroying Adrian Adonis' Flower Shop. From then on, Roddy Piper never wrestled or commented as a heel ever again. He was so over (Popular) with the fans, that he stuck by the fans, and they stuck by him! Long live the memory of "The Rowdy Scot", Rowdy Roddy Piper!!!!!
No, this was in the middle of Piper's heel run. He was getting ready for his Boxing Match Vs. Mr. T at Wrestlemania II; hence his reason for the scheduled interview with Joe Frazier, who was Mr. T's cornerman. Joe no-showed this event though and Piper ended up going to Frazier's gym to confront him a little over a week later. Here is the clip... ruclips.net/video/eOaM5d80oNk/видео.html
@@DevoJetBoy8680 He left for the summer after WM and came back as a face. So,not really the "middle" of his heel run. More towards the end as I originally said. One of the reasons he was brought back as a face was because he got soany cheers against T at Mania.
Was this Piper's last live event before Weestlemania 2 PPV and hitaus for the spring and summer months. He deserved time off he did help carry the company for nearly 2 years.
5:21 I wonder if Bill Burr's infamous Philly Rant joke about the Rocky statue comes from Cowboy Bob Orton whispering that very joke into Roddy Piper's ear @ 5:20 😂 before Piper yells it out to the crowd 😂😂
This should be required watching at the WWE Performance Center. Nobody will ever come close to Roddy Piper but at least the newbies might be a little more entertaining than what the WWE has de-evolved into now.
Does anyone know if Smokin Joe Frazier was actually supposed to be on this Pipers Pit or if that was just a work ? If he was , what happened to where he was unable to make it ?
When I saw this for the first time I thought Piper and Bob Orton was gonna have it out because Piper didn't like the fact that his body guard said he might get knocked out by Mr.T because of his left hook.Orton almost took sides with Mr.T and the Rowdy One had a problem with that.
My goodness was Roddy Piper ever the master of the microphone! When I was in grade 5 (1986 or so...) all the boys in my class at school watched wrestling - my brother and myself included. All of them HATED Roddy Piper - except me. He was my favourite of all time! The only wrestler with similar skills on the mike is The Rock.
I wonder if the girl is a plant? She looks similar to the girl on 11-29-1985 episode of TNT that sits on Captain Lou's lap when he's dressed as santa but I'm not sure.
Philly sports fans are disgusting.... knuckle dragging idiots that idolize athletes making more money than the idiot fans . There ugly and obnoxious!! Sorry, I don't care about local pro team with guys making millions. These Philly idiots drink all day and actually believe there on the team 🙄.
He had a bit to do with Joe Frazier and he no showed so this is major ad lib. They were going to interview a woman for filler so they chose Mel, found a girl and kicked him out. Gradual heat storyline between Piper and his partner, thats the whole "watch (Joe's) left thing was about."
According to the other comments it was. Joe Frazier was supposed to be the guest, but didn't turn up, so they are just bullshitting something from nothing to fill the spot.
YO - THIS WAS WEIRD!?!?!?!?!? WHAT WAS THIS ABOUT???? JOE FRAZIER WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THERE???? AND YES: HUGE SHAME THEY HAD A STATUE OF ROCKY AND NOT JOE - AND WHY DID THEY BOO JOE?!!!!!!!
I would love to see Mel's face if piper brought up the ring boys n show m on camera with the boys.
Mel looks so creepy, he always had that Chester the molester vibe
Rest in peace Piper! You are still missed! This is classic!
Oh man Roddy is the greatest heat magnet in history!!! Imagine if this was done today!! 🤣🤣🤣

I was 8, but it was my 9th birthday gift, birthday is April 14, 1977, and I was back a week later watching WRESTLEMANIA 2 on the big screen
Joey Gana did Mel Phillips get you front row tickets for being a “good boy?”
@@pasadenalukeshame on you for cracking a disgusting and serial joke
@@PHALANGE1931😂 lighten up
Wonder how many of the ringboys Mel got to that night
I know that you're trying to be funny, but there isn't anything funny about a child being molested.
Also was nice when Terry Funk, slapped Mel Phillips, around, too bad he did lay some of his chops in real good. Roddy Piper "There ain''t any hubcaps missing in the parking lot." LOL
Maybe ask Pat Patterson that question.
All of them
@@jolly7041 pat was a open homosexual. Mel was a filthy child molester
Piper knew how to troll people before trolling was cool!

5:20 You beat me to it (by a few years😂) - Cowboy Bob Orton whispers this very joke into Roddy Piper's ear @ 5:20 😂😂
Never understood the logic to Piper as a face. He was so much more over as heel.
Brother he was over as a heel and face. Listen to the pops he would get when he was face.
Nobody in the history of wrestling could get as much straight up, legitimate heat as a heel AND intense pop as a fan favorite when he was a face as Piper did.
All aboit popularity
He said if it wasn't for the WWE/F he'd probably be in jail
Adrian Adonis took over Piper's Pit. Who are you going to cheer for, Adonis or Piper, lol?
Mel used to play "hide the cream" with Bob Orton's brother.
Under the ring? Lol
Wait - are you SERIOUS?!!!!!!!
Barry Orton, Randy’s Uncle
Rico Lewis Correct
Great mic skills. Best ever
The old Philadelphia spectrum I remember the papers pit that night. I was there when he when he did the thing with Mel Phillips
Piper was so good a heel
oh he so was, the absolute best
The absolute best!
I liked him better as a heel than as a babyface. It's a sham he was only heel for about 2 1/2 years.
Piper had a acerbic persona. A heel definitely fit him best!!
@@philipdefibaugh7127 Yeah, but he packed a LOT of work into creating that persona of his.
Piper the Great
That 'I'm sorry?' when he can't hear her is the only time I've ever seen him completely drop character lmao.

The scheduled guest was Joe Fraizer. He no showed so roddy was improvising

that's what made roddy a legend he made something out of nothing no guest he improvised
Nobody dared to mess with Roddy Piper in the 1980s....dude only had 2 packs of bubblegum on him !!!!😂❤😊
A little prelude to Roddy and Ace's future tensions.
Piper's right about Philly girls.
The last vestiges of heel Piper. He’d go off to film Bodyslam and came back as a reluctant face.
Spectrum Wrestling on Prism was the best
My, how times have changed!
Roddy Piper had ZERO respect for Mel Phillips.
Spikey haired lady said Ken Patera and he was gone for the WWF for a while at that point lol.
bergencountylegend perfect yep, in the clink actually.
Do you think Vince paid her to say "Ken Patera" to keep his name relevant until his return a year later?
And fan yelled “he’s in jail!”
@@thecarpenter4 That is funny
Who cares, she knew his name which was shocking.
We ain't gotta worry about the hub caps in the parking lot. Since, you're here.
Was this Piper's last live event before Weestlemania 2 PPV and hitaus for the spring and summer months. He deserved time off he did help carry the company for nearly 2 years.
Taboo-she mentioned Patera while he was still in the clink!
Good catch! 👍 I am willing to bet she was Ken's Philly rat for years!
Not only that but a heel. Piper improvised well anticipating she would say Hogan or something.
Back when people could take a fuckin joke.
this shit is awesome! With apologies to Ric Flair, Piper was the best at the improv dialogue.
He could have been a comic. Just pure entertainment.
I offer JAMES E. CORNETTE
Flair? It's boring listening to a man beg woman to go to his hotel room. Flair had same match and promo for his entire career

Racism, sexism, ahh the good old days when wrestling was actually entertaining. RIP Roddy. You were one of a kind.
The ring announcer was a really shady evil man IRL and Piper was aware of it. R.I.P,Rowdy Roddy Piper. Legendary.
It wasn't Racism and Sexism. It just wan't LEFT WING, FEMI-NAZI LIBERAL FASCISM aka Political Correctness.
Jesse Barr so insinuating that stealing hubcaps would be directly related to Mel being black Nooooo

???? THIS IS NOT A PIPER HIGHLIGHT IDIOT. ITS ACTUALLY PATHETIC GIVING A CHILD MOLESTER NAMED MEL, SCREEN TIME
Only thing better would have been Piper potatoeing Phillips.
You know this wasn't rehearsed if she mentions that Ken Patera was her fav wrestler. He was in jail at the time.
Heel Piper's Pit was the best.
Piper was great at what he did 4shoooo!!!
Wow piper made an even better heel.
Does anyone know if Smokin Joe Frazier was actually supposed to be on this Pipers Pit or if that was just a work ? If he was , what happened to where he was unable to make it ?
Last Pit as a heel!
Imagine Teal and the Viper reigniting their storyline like their fathers
6:59 “JoJo’s ? That’s a place to eat ... “
Roddy met his wife Kitty at a restaurant called JoJos when she waitressed there.
After everything that came out on that weirdo Mel Philips I wish Roddy would've whooped his ass
When I saw this for the first time I thought Piper and Bob Orton was gonna have it out because Piper didn't like the fact that his body guard said he might get knocked out by Mr.T because of his left hook.Orton almost took sides with Mr.T and the Rowdy One had a problem with that.
I wonder if they were still selling Schmidt's back then?
I live in Philly as and he's right. Lot's of dog face gremlins here, sadly.

Who was the lady that got in the ring? Was she just some random fan?
what did the sign say?
That girl could pick em. Ken Patera was in jail at the time😂!
I guess Mel was expecting a young boy as the guest wow he ran to avoid touching her. But he have a hard on if it was young teen boy.
Those were the old good days wrestling today sucks wwe.too

Piper couldn't find any pretty ladies in Philly? I guess that's why Mel stuck with the boys, huh?
