Georgia Wrestling: AWESOME Roddy Piper promo

By


Here is an insane promo from Piper that he cut on Buzz Sawyer while in Georgia Championship Wrestling. The end of this video is something else.

 This one raises the question of how Buzz Sawyer managed to do enough drugs to die, but RODDY PIPER is still alive to this die.  How much blow was this dude on?

    No one in WWE today can cut a promo like Piper. He was born to cut promos.

    It's not about quantity of blow, but quality. Piper strikes me as the kind of guy who would save up for the good stuff, you know, "Grade A, 100%, PURE Colombian cocaine, ladies and gentlemen, disco shit."

    If you get to the end of this, there are a few links to "The Big Turn of 1980". They're worth watching.

    The way he kept gasping for air between sentences was really off-putting.

    I'll just say this.


    Im aware Piper was an entertainer and not a wrestler.


    But, I never thought he was that great of a promo guy, once I got old enough to appreciate promos and and such,


    Everything I hear just comes off as cocaine babble.


    Now the promos he did for the dog collar match were money.


    Im talking the average ordinary promo.

    First of all...what the fuck is that accent?


    Second of all, anybody dig the civilians just nonchalantly walking in the background. No questions at all about the madman with a chain and a bottle.

    Cocaine is a helluva drug.

    Seriously, I kept expecting him to end his sentences with "esse!".


    Also, out of the billion other things from this clip, what I took away from how things have changed over the last 30 years. "Did he say he just came from the pitbull factory?? You can't say that!"

    This was epic in all of it's awesomeness. What kind of a crazy, coked up individual would hang themself from a tree, all in the name of hatred? Nowadays we get promos that project sarcasm and smart ass comebacks. How about a good, old-fashioned "I hate this guy. I really do. I hate him so much, that I'm gonna put him in the hospital. If I kill him, so be it, it's part of the job. And then maybe I'll date his mother, and stand her up."

    They should let cocaine back in the locker rooms.

    Yeah, I was loving that. Stands in stark contrast to the production values of current wrestling. Well, WWE and TNA, at least.

    The intensity of the old skool promos (cocaine riddled or otherwise) is really missing in modern WWE. You don't get that "holy shit...they hate each other" feeling anymore. Rock kind of captured with Cena and with Punk (hence the dirtsheet rumors about how some of those comments were SHOOTZ~!) but it's pretty rare.

    So, I was going to comment and say "Nothing beats the promo he opens by smashing a high life over his head":

    But then he did the same damn thing in this promo.

    And turns out it was kind of a schtick:

    Crazy MF'er.

    Agreed. When two faces go at it, the promos are based on respect, but really, face 1 says that he is better than face 2. When heel-face promos occur, the intensity is somewhat lacking. The Punk-Heyman promos are intense....but they take 20 minutes to get to the point! I just want Brock Lesnar to come out, and tell Punk what he is going to do to him....how bad it's going to look...and how long it will take for Punk to recover, if he ever does.

    Wow. That's just about the best description of a really good heel promo ever.

    Yup. And it never really struck me as "gasping for air," at least not in the same way that Dusty always did it. Whatever noise Piper is making there always contributed to his deranged persona. I actually dug it.

    Comparing wrestling to the other TV shows and movies out at the same time has always boggled my mind. I mean, the same year we have Pulp Fiction we have Kevin Nash as WWE champ.

    I wonder if it was the mic he was using because I know he's always done that, I've never heard it this much before.

    The last good "I hate you" promo was when Mick Foley said, “I’m gonna bring on the kind of bleeding usually reserved for special effects teams in Mel Gibson biblical epics” to Orton in '04.
