November 9, 201212 yr Author comment_5519413 Roddy Piper has half of his entire body painted black in one of the weirdest interviews ever. Talk about 3 1/2 feet-long nostril hair.
November 11, 201212 yr comment_5519730 Piper goes over Bad News' physical deformities--his bug eyes, his giant ears, and his left nostril hair that's 3.5 feet long and that he can "slice and dice" with. Except for his mouth, which works just fine, but Piper's going to shut it for him. I have no earthly fucking idea what this Two-Face look was ever about, not then and not now. I can still understand Bad News' opposition to working this program, though.
December 3, 201212 yr comment_5521514 This seemed like rambling Piper at his worst as his interview did nothing to hype up the match.
December 23, 201212 yr comment_5523687 I don't get this. Piper must had seen that episode of Star Trek where the species were painted black and white and thought it made a cool visual.
January 18, 201312 yr comment_5528699 Piper added to his half black face by painting up his arm also. Match not shown which is good.
January 23, 201312 yr comment_5529871 Man, judging by the promos of Hogan, Warrior, and Piper, they must have had some quality drugs in the WWF around this time.
December 26, 201410 yr comment_5646974 Piper was trying to work some "equality between the races" deal; it doesn't matter if you're black or white (or each) as long as you do whatever it is you do well. The problem was, he wasn't the right type of guy to cut a promo like that; he spends almost all of this interview talking about Bad News's physical "deformities" in a more-than-slightly racist manner. According to one interview I heard, he didn't give a damn how he came off because he was going home to Portland afterward, so he just said whatever nonsense came into his head, and that's exactly what it sounds like here. As an aside, he couldn't get the paint off of his body for weeks; someone (I think it might have been Andre) substituted regular paint for the washable kind as a rib!
February 10, 20169 yr comment_5726368 The same thing happened to me last time Piper was in black face. I looked up, saw him, looked down, looked up again, saw the blackface. Just as shocking.
December 17, 20168 yr comment_5779001 Piper has gone from just painting half his face black, to painting half his face, half his neck and one arm black now! He says that you can call him ‘Hot Rod’, that some folk call him the ‘Hot Scot’, or you could say that he’s a little ‘two faced’, before revealing the whole ghastly half and half sight. He says that Bad News Brown has just got the one face, the kind of face that needs customizing and segues this into just throwing insults at Bad News’ appearance. From his bug eyes that look like they are going to pop out, to his out of proportion ears, to his nose with hairs that are three and a half foot long coming out of them to his big mouth. He says that he is going to shut that mouth and the only thing Bad News doesn’t know is if it will be the ‘Hot Rod’ or the ‘Hot Scot’ that will do it. Considering this seemed to being pushed as third from top (after the main event and the mixed tag), this did absolutely nothing to build the match. Piper just throwing a bunch of childish insults out whilst looking like a reject from the Black and White Minstrels (UK reference there folks!). Hated this.
