JoeDirt Posted April 17, 2004 Report Posted April 17, 2004 Was the guy always this insane when he talked? Here's a promo from Nitro before Slamboree 1997, where he teamed with Ric Flair and Kevin Greene to take on the nWo. Flair and Greene are standing there as Okerlund interviews Piper and here's what he says: "Isn't it funny, isn't it funny that everytime I'm here the big bald guy happens to stay at home. All I see is instead of the big bald guy, I see all these nWo gorillas, asking Congo - at least in Congo the gorillas pick the lice off each other. These particular guys, they don't have the brain of a tsetse fly between the whole batch of 'em. The nWo, which I'm up to here with, and I'm telling all of them to come on down, come on down to Charlotte at the next pay per view - we'll take on the whole batch of you. They come out, they're in spandex, right? They got Eric Bischoff with Rodman's T-shirt on going "I'm too sexy for Dennis Rodman, too sexy for Pee Wee Herman" while the rest of the nWo are in spandex jumping out of the closet. Heck, I'm going to go to the closet and see what they're afraid of in there. They call him the Godfather, old baldy. I tell you what, if I'm in bed and I see a dead horse's head, I have a barbecue. Hang on, hang on. I tell you something nWo, you big tough guys, you ride your skateboards and try and to be so cool on the asphalt, there's a couple of guys from the east coast and one from the west coast, who was down when there was 300 people in the garage, fighting each other, taking axes, beating down trees, pouring that asphalt, beating down trees, pouring that asphalt, beating down trees, starring in Starcade, starring in Wrestlemania. And if it wasn't for us paving this smooth road, you might not be so damn cool. Let me tell you something else nWo. We've got a guy who runs through seven 320 pound guys every day of his life to get the ball, and his name is Kevin Greene." He then introduces Greene, and he and Flair finish the interview. I'm sorry, I was watching this and I just had to transcribe it - I was laughing my ass of at this stuff.
cawthon777 Posted April 18, 2004 Report Posted April 18, 2004 He does make a point. It takes him 3/4s of the promo to get to it, but once he does it's not bad.

I think I was just confused by the "if I'm in bed and I see a dead horse's head, I have a barbecue" line. But yeah, he makes his point at the end. I guess he just does it in a roundabout way.

It was in reference to The Godfather. I think he was kinda saying, if the nWo wanted to try to intimidate him - it wasn't going to work.
JoeDirt Posted April 18, 2004 Author Report Posted April 18, 2004 Dammit! Well I guess I'm an idiot. Piper = promo God
Placebo Effect Posted April 18, 2004 Report Posted April 18, 2004 I'm still confused by what some of the shit Piper and Bischoff came up with during Piper's initial return. - Piper locking himself up in Alcatraz to train. - Piper wanting teammates to face the nWo, bringing out a bunch of random jobbers and beating them up, then if I remember correctly, someone like John Tenta comes out. This entire thing was forgotten by the PPV/next Nitro, whichever came first.
JST Posted April 18, 2004 Report Posted April 18, 2004 Using logic: If I choose three partners, who can't even defeat me, then what chance do they have against the competition? Luckily they went with the safe bet and stuck the Horsemen in there.
Scroby Posted April 19, 2004 Report Posted April 19, 2004 Read his book if you think thats good. His book was very good.
Guest Astro Posted April 19, 2004 Report Posted April 19, 2004 The Piper vs Jobbers segment bombed in the ratings, so it was killed off - He boxed one of the jobbers and Goldburg was one of the jobbers
