5 Best Piper's Pit Segments Of All Time
The Piper’s Pit will be dearly missedToday, one of the greatest wrestling personalities passed away. Rowdy Roddy Piper is undisputably a legend in this industry and he died of a cardiac arrest at the age of 61. The man was a trailblazer when it came to the art of a promo.He wasn’t your typical hyped up, protocol looking, beefy bod performer. He wasn’t that tall and his kilt never gave him the hypermasculine look that WWE thrived in. Instead he became the most feared, the rowdiest wrestling persona ever with his Piper’s Pit segments.That talk show inspired a plethora of other talk shows, none have yet equalled, forget surpassed, the greatness of those segments.Here are the 5 best Piper’s Pit segments of all time:
#5 Verbal, not physical
This segment with Frankie Williams shows how tensions can flare and the aggression escalate in a matter of a few minutes. Rowdy Roddy Piper is unimpressed throughout the duration of the video. Any moment, you feel, these two will get into a fight. The build up to it is flawless. The first flare sees Piper mention that this is a verbal fight not a physical one, but he minces no words in calling Frankie Williams a lousy wrestler.
Moments after that Piper shows off his trademark rowdiness and shoves away Williams and then he staggers toward the camera and speaks teh defining, most famous lines that have ever been associated with Piper- “Just when they think they got the answers, I change the questions”
