I'll always remember Piper for this little hopping taunt on WCW/NWO Revenge.

It's weird I associate that movie with him more than his wrestling career

It's an awesome movie and he was really really good in it. Still great to rewatch from time to time, Carpenter was on fire back then.
Never liked the chin strap look....but caveman chin strap? GTF out of here.

"Quick Nikki, do your Miz impression"
Nikki pulling Brie out of the way was planned. Brie still falling on her ass was not is my guess.

Here's some old-school Piper stuff from Portland - WWE doesn't own this video library, so it'll likely never be on the network or a DVD set, but it's awesome to see just how over Roddy was in the Northwest;
. Roddy Piper vs Luke Williams - Hair Match - (Portland 1980/03/01)
. Roddy Piper & Mike Popovich vs Buddy Rose & Rip Oliver - (Portland 1980/09/06)
. Roddy Piper (c) vs Buddy Rose - 2/3 Falls - (Portland 1980/09/13)

The Portland masters are largely lost, as the promoter Don Owens was a cheap-ass and re-used tapes rather than keeping stuff - however, there are a few masters in his son's possession (WWE apparently managed to licence a single match for a Piper DVD set a few years back) and there's the Buddy Rose tapes, which Buddy recorded off TV himself from 1980 onwards and where the matches above come from. WWE are also missing the Shire Library from Roy Shire's San-Francisco promotion, which has the bulk of Piper's 70's work.

Random question but do you know if any footage of Chono in Kansas City exist?
Yeah, I used to work on the games so it's been a bit since I bought one now that I no longer work on them.

Watching NJPW ON AXS. Suzuki not being in the G1 was a bad move
(Though his match with Takayama was dope)
(Though his match with Takayama was dope)
I think that's actually his new gimmick
That first clip made me wish guys would look at the camera today.
Modern wrestling is waiting for a 69 year old man to die or NJPW to take the west more seriously than axcess
Why does everyone need to do fucking top rope spots?
"Quick Brie, do your Miz impression"
they don't have effect of eveyone does it then no sells it.
Also those women letting a co-worker fall like that is disgusting.
If you have anything you'd like included in the OP I'll post it.New OT...
Damn, and I had a August OT name all picked out (Battle of the Ultima Summer G1 Climax).
Oh well.

So I'm trying to make my way through all of NXT. Anyone know where to find the early episodes when they first moved to Full Sail? They aren't on Hulu for some reason

The best part is that the things people hate about Mega Man's "treatment" were OK'd by Inafune. But all Mega Man fanboys love their persecution complex.

With all this MN9 backlash Capcom should capitalize and announce another Mega Man.
I can't believe how uptight people got and took seriously about box art Mega Man. Like Jesus. It's like people can't even tell a joke to certain people on the internet about appearances without the fans getting into a violent rage
I'm still waiting for an Insomniac developed Mega Man Legends 3.

It looks fake :s
People take franchises and the people who make them way too seriously.
Like remember that one racing game where the screenshots showed how bad the crowd models looked and people were, obviously, cracking jokes about it because they looked like poorly done PS1 models. It wasn't that big a deal until fans started blowing up and getting all defensive over it like their livelihoods were on the line and they were going to win a million dollars or some shit. Everything has to be so dull and serious when discussing anything video games even if it's the most preposterous stuff and it isn't like the creators care whether or not someone says something bad about their game. All they want is money and a supportive fan base that will buy their games, that's it.
