Aroo's Smackdown Files #15: Roddy Piper (2003)


One of the most memorable wrestlers in North America, 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper has been around in the professional wrestling business for over 30 years. A proficient talker, he would hold arguably one of the most influential interview segments in professional wrestling history; Piper's Pit, which played home to many iconic moments, such as him hitting Jimmy Snuka with a coconut, and Andre the Giant challenging Hulk Hogan to a match at Wrestlemania 3. It wasn't just out of the ring that Piper was influential in, he himself has wrestled in iconic matches of his own, the most notable being a tag team match with Paul Orndoff against Hulk Hogan and Mr. T, main eventing the first ever Wrestlemania.

In 2003, he would briefly reappear, returning at Wrestlemania XIX to unsuccessfully attack Hulk Hogan during his match with Vince McMahon. During his brief run with the company, he'd quickly become the mentor to Sean O'Haire, and would align himself (reluctantly) with Vince McMahon to take out Mr. America and his friend, the one-legged Zach Gowen. He'd also host Piper's Pit during his tenure, whether it be antagonizing Snuka's nephew Rikishi, debuting Mr. America, or, in perhaps the most well known Piper's Pit segment in 2003, pulling out Zach Gowen's prosthetic leg. Piper would however end up being fired after only 3 months in the WWE, on the same day that Hulk Hogan and Crash Holly would leave the WWE, his last match being an unsuccessful challenge against the team of Eddie Guerrero and Tajiri for the WWE Tag Team titles.
