On the latest episode of Six Feet Under, The Undertaker talked about Roddy Piper’s significance to wrestling and more. You can check out some highlights below: On his Roddy Piper story: “Piper was a wild card, right? He was — I remember, I was just getting hot. The Undertaker thing was really starting to take off.
I tell you exactly where it was at. It was in the hotel, the Marriott Hotel in San Antonio, Texas. And he was letting me know, he’s like, ‘You need to make your play right now.
’ He goes, ‘You’re the hottest thing in the company right now. You need to hold Vince up for money.’ And I’m like — I’m thinking to myself, like, ‘Dude, I’m still in debt from getting in this business.
‘ And he goes, ‘I’m telling you right now, you get anything you want.’ He said, ‘You’re the hottest thing in the company.’ “And I forgot to leave one important part out, that there was probably some white substance involved in his thinking, and we’re stuck on an elevator.
We’re stuck on an elevator, just me and him. So there’s nowhere I can go. And it’s Roddy Piper, and I’m f**king, again, still a greenhorn.
He’s telling me, and he’s in an uncomfortable space, my space. He’s very close, because he’s really passionate about what he’s saying to me. And he’s basically telling me, yeah.
He’s like, ‘I’m telling you, man, I’m telling you.’ You know, it’s like, ‘You got all the power right now, man! You got it. You got it, man, you got it.
’ I’m like, ‘I don’t feel like it. I don’t feel like I do.'” On Roddy Piper’s significance to wrestling: “Incredible heel.
I think people forget. I think there’s just certain people, guys that were so significant to the business that people kinda — they think more about maybe the guys that they worked with. But man, his contributions were crazy.
And what a good, good heel.” If you use any of the quotes in this article, please credit Six Feet Under an h/t to 411mania.com for the transcription.
