3.0 out of 5 starsTerrible Documentary...EXCELLENT Extras!
By Movie Fan on November 14, 2006
Format: DVD
First, I want to say that Roddy Piper is the reason why I'm a wrestling fan today.

With that said, I'm very disappointed with this DVD set. The extras, which I'll get to

in a minute, are tremendous and it's worth buying this DVD set for them alone, but

the documentary is easily the WORST ever produced by WWE. This documentary makes the

Dusty Rhodes documentary look like pure truth. I was hoping to learn a great deal about Piper,

his days in Portland Wrestling, his legendary feud with Ric Flair over the NWA United States

Title and the truth surrounding his most controversial moments in wrestling. Instead, I get

a documentary that offers no new info that I haven't already heard or read about, and it's almost

entirely presented in kayfabe!?

It's insulting as a fan that Piper and his opponents expect us to believe that they never really

knew how the angles and matches were going to turn out and that they just unfolded. Come on!

For example, both Piper and Snuka talk about their famous Piper's Pit segment as if it were a shoot.

Most WWE documentaries do this from one degree to another, but this is the first that has done it

for nearly the entire feature. Very disappointing. Also, Piper was at his BEST during his stint in Portland

Wrestling and the NWA, but if you blink you'll miss the part about Portland and they only talk about

Piper's Dog Collar match with Greg Valentine from the first Starrcade when talking about his time in

the NWA. Piper came into the NWA and was so hot at the time that he quickly feuded with

Ric Flair and they traded the NWA United States Title!Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 starsDisappointing DVD set for an I.C.O.N.
By D.P. VINE VOICE on November 15, 2006
Format: DVD
Without a doubt, one of the biggest icons in this business and one of the biggest originators in the business. Before Jake Roberts' Snake Pit, Carlito's Cabana, Jericho's Highlight Reel, The Brother Love Show...the original was Piper's Pit. Before wrestlers did movies...he starred in "They Live". I could go into more but I think you get the point. Roddy Piper was an innovator in this business and one of the men who just knew how to hold the crowd into the palm of his hand. With new comments from Piper along with some old clips (ala Wrestlers Of 80's DVD) along with comments from such performers as Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Jim Ross, Cowboy Bob & Randy Orton amongst others. Bottom line, "The Boss Is Back"...on DVD. And I just also happened to get the special 4 disc set from Circuit City with extra Piper's Pits as well.

The documentry stars out with Roddy growing up in different cities all over the world & leaving home at the age of 13 and breaking into wrestling with his first match with Larry Hennig (Mr. Perfect's dad) that set a record that Roddy still brags about to this day. His travel from different wrestling territories including a territory in Mexico that saw a fued he had with Chavo Guerrero Sr. (Chavo Classic) that resulted in his first major wrestling fued is shown. Roddy Piper's first big break in Portland Wrestling is covered. Piper & others talk about his time in NWA Mid-Alantic wrestling that started his relationship with Ric Flair and the brutial Starrcade '83 Dog Collar match against Greg Valentine which resulted in 50% of his hearing damaged. Piper's venture into the WWF and the story behind him being a manager for a while is talked about next along complete with stories of his relationship with Cowboy Bob Orton, Mr.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsYou don't throw rocks at a man who has a machine gun!
By Cagneyfan67 on March 4, 2013
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This is a great dvd. Piper is one of the biggest stars of all time in wrestling. I think he is on equal footing as Hogan. Piper was the greatest talker of all time. He didn't always put on Shawn MIchaels wrestling matches on every night in night out but he showed up for the big ones. The War To Settle The Score was a great match and precursor to Wrestlemania. Without Piper to fill the role of the antagonist Wrestlemania may not be around today. Piper certainly should have won the belt during his career but he still was a legend without it. When Piper went to WCW in 1996 he served as the protagonist to Hulkster's antagonist Hollywood persona. Roddy was around for two great eras of wrestling. He played a huge role in them. The dvd has a great documentary, Pits and great matches. I wish there were more matches. Cheers!

5.0 out of 5 starsLong live Roddy!!!
By David A Villarreal on March 15, 2015
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
What can I say. Hot Rod at his best. One of the all time greats is chronicled from his humble origin to the pinnacle of pop culture. What makes Roddy great is his big mouth and the ability to spew intelligent barbs at any of his adversaries ("I come here to kick ass and chew bubble gum and I'm all out of bubble gum."). Check out his feud with Mr T. That's probably the best story in the collection. Highly recommended.
