720.02.2024benny5bellys7.0A career of two halves. The first half is brilliant with Roddy being one of the most watchable guys on earth, the second half went from diminishing returns to outright dire to the point you want to turn the TV off but his star power kept him over. The prolonged period where he was pretty much shit means I won't go higher.

913.02.2024edgyfr8.0Roddy Piper is full of charisma while beeing absolutely incredible wrestling wise, he has not gotten as many opportunities as he deserves, but he could have been one of the biggest of all time.
1011.02.2024crs2859.0Piper was one of the best in the business in terms of his charisma and his mic skills. In the ring his matches were normally good with his brawling abilities, ability to work the crowd and selling being his best assets. Crowd bought whatever he was selling whether face or heel. Can't believe he never got a world title run.

1509.01.2024TheKeyboardWarrior In a world of copied gimmicks, Piper was 1 of 1. No other wrestler was like the Rowdy one, in or out of the ring. Definitely high on the list of most influential performers ever.
1606.01.2024danzitorock10.0Easily one of my all-time favorites, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper is one of the best and most important talkers and entertainers in wrestling history, nobody could do it like him... the man just exhales charisma. Piper is the true definition of a perfect heel, and every person that tries to be a villainous character on television should look up to him. He clearly wasn't the best or most gifted athlete ever in terms of ring-skill, but at that time the most important thing was the character work, and he was simply the best. Piper absolutely has to be ranked in every list of the best heels and mic workers ever, the Piper's Pit was phenomenal.

2221.11.2023nothingleftinside10.0If there ever was a wrestler deserving of a 10 out of 10, it's Roddy Piper. The guy was a master storyteller in and out of the ring, I really don't think there has ever been anyone better. Some of his stuff might look dated, but in the 80s this was the most "real" guy you were ever going to see in wrestling. He also was in so many significant places, in so many different time periods, and his runs are fantastic in about all of them (until 96 maybe and that's mostly due to age). *And* he had time for acting. They Live is easily the best movie featuring a wrestler and I can't imagine anything beating it out. Piper definitely had weak points (some of his stomps and strikes aren't great, he utilized old-fashioned spots well into the 90s) but he's potentially the best promo of all time and was rarely *truly* bad between the ropes. A+ talker, A gimmick/look, and a hard B for in-ring. His influence is still felt today, and his historical significance is second to only guys like Hogan, Bruno, and Austin. A definite top 10 all time guy who is often forgotten these days when it comes to GOAT discussions.
2317.11.2023JediSaiyanMaster120310.0"Rowdy" Roddy Piper is one of my all time favorite wrestlers for so many reasons. The man was a promo wizard, often making his promos feel like shoots that come from the heart (even if he will go off topic and try to tie it back to the point he was, previously, making). Piper's Pit is still the best talk show in wrestling no matter how many great shows have came after. While he wasn't a great wrestler in the traditional sense, he was a good brawler and worked for his character. Either way, he was still able to tell stories in the ring and work the crowd like no other, look at his match with Bret Hart at WrestleMania VIII. This might be off topic, "They Live" is the best movie to star a professional wrestling and I will die on that hill. R.I.P. Roddy Piper!

2803.10.2023andytuga867.0Promo master, his Piper's Pit interviews were memorable and iconic, because he often made it look like a shoot, as the infamous Frankie Williams episode. His in-ring work was overrated for me, not a great moveset. Despite that, he was an entertaining brawler, very intense, with lot of stamina, who could work a crowd like no one, because was great in ring psychology. One of the best heels in the Golden Era of WWE.

3019.09.2023DangoDaisuki6.0Ich sehe einen großen Einfluss auf die heutige Zeit von seinem Kampfstil, aber ich bin weder der größte Fan davon, noch habe ich in ihn jemals einen interessanten Wrestler gesehen. Aber okay war er für mich schon immer. Ganz nett ist für mich 6 Punkte.

3413.08.2023MattHall10.0One of the best talkers in wrestling history. Piper had a good look and a great gimmick. Piper's pit is one of the best wrestling segments in wrestling history. Although he wasn't the greatest in the ring, however, his mic skills certainly make it up. Plus he didn't need a technician wrestling style, he is better as a brawler.
3510.08.2023Immortan Scott10.0 
3604.08.2023juiceisloose10.0Probably the greatest talker in the history of wrestling. He is sometimes criticized regarding his lack of in ring skills. But in Roddy's case, since he was a brawler and he could play his character so well it did not have a negative effect on his overall performance at all. He didn't wrestle but rather fought his opponents and is one of few people who told the story perfectly through his in ring stuff. There have been many past and present wrestlers who got inspired by his mic skills and story telling abilities. Truly an inspirational man, and from the stories about him, was a lovely human too. May he rest in peace.
3718.07.2023JSouthard200510.0One of if not the greatest promos to ever walk the earth. A legend in the ring and on the stick. Its a shame he never got a world title push because it wouldve been deserved.

4118.06.2023texasyosh10.0Piper was pretty much excellent at all facets of wrestling. It sucks that he isn't around anymore, it really is a testament to someone who was so giving to wrestling, but the life of being a pro wrestler wasn't giving back to him. Career peaks pre-WWF, with excellent work in Portland, and NWA + Mid-Atlantic. A wrestling icon who had 10+ years of prime work, going into his time in the WWF.
4210.06.2023CoopyHoncho9.0He was a great brawler and arguably the best talker in the history of wrestling. You believed everything he said and it felt real every time. He wasn't the greatest technical wrestler but that's not always the most important aspect of being a professional wrestler.

4520.05.2023Mister Cute Face8.0Vital to the boom period and one of the best talkers. One of the reasons for that is that he would never stop talking, so the good stuff carried the weird stuff. Not the best worker ever but had two of my favorite matches (vs Hart at WM8 and vs Valentine at Starrcade 83).

4909.04.2023Giantfan19807.0Possibly the greatest heel of the 80's or at the very least in the top 3. I loved his returning baby face run in the late 80's but when he came to WCW in 96, he was looking noticeably old and his matches with Hogan were pretty terrible. I prefer to remember Piper form 1983-1992.
5004.04.2023Lcrossin10.0Roddy is by far one of the best promos in the history of wrestling and one of the best in ring as well. He is certainly the best to never win a world title.

6223.08.2022Zombrero4.0Tolles Mic-Work und wirklich guter Entertainer. Die meisten seiner In-Ring-Auftritte haben mich allerdings ziemlich kalt gelassen. Selbst für damalige Verhältnisse war das kein großes Wrestling. Eye Poke, Punches, gegnerischen Kopf auf die Ringpfosten kloppen. Das alles theatralisch und oft ziemlich comedymäßig (aber wirklich nur für ganz Anspruchslose noch lustig). Dazu nen Sleeper Hold als Finisher. Den Million Dollar Dream habe ich Ted Dibiase zum Beispiel abgenommen, aber Pipers Sleeper Hold war schon ziemlich schwach. Würde also sagen als Wrestlingpersönlichkeit verdient er seinen guten Ruf, als Wrestler selbst jedoch nicht. Da hatte ich teilweise mehr Spaß an irgendwelchen Jobbern.

7702.05.2022Conquistador377.0Not much a wrestler, a total character though... Now that the dust has settled he comes off as more of an element of American pop culture than an in ring competitor, even down to his territory work. Often infectiously entertaining; but at his worst, the casual racism is too casual and some of his stuff is tragically BAD and difficult to watch (a massive heaping helping of his promos make NO SENSE). The good Hot Rod is legendary, the bad is very verrrry poor. After debating a point rating for some time, I decided to go the math route: A potential 10, with enough casual racism and "off the rails" stuff that makes me fast forward, scramble for mute or just get pissed off to the point where it's a 5.75 rounded up. HOWEVER! While "They Live" is not wrestling, it IS enough to boost his rating a whole point. Proceed with caution. 6.75 rounded up.

7930.03.2022Mikeymikeddd19.0If in ring work was the only criteria he'd get a 7 and be lucky to get that. This guy was an over achiever and the fact that he might've got some consideration for being the top guy in a promotion is a testament to his skill on the mic and his politics backstage. It's surprising that he's rated ahead of Hogan on this site. Probably he was more influential on the next generation of wrestlers than Hogan. He can't be a 10 because while he made the most of his talent, he was just a little too small and lacked the athletic skill of a Micheals or a Bret Hart, smaller guys who did take that next step.

8228.01.2022WhatIsLooveee10.0The man without whom there would be no rock'n'wrestling era and who was the best heel of the 80s and a pretty good face in the 90s when he was going to left the company. Roddy had a lot of really bad matches in his career both in his best years and an endless bunch of thrash in WCW and upon his return to the WWE, when he was already worn out by injuries, but still his memorable character, skills on the microphone and charisma outshine all bad. However he's had quite a few good matches nonetheless, like the match with Bret Hart when he passed the torch, as well as the legendary feuds with Hulk Hogan, Jimmy Snuka and the Guerrero dynasty. A very talented person who was able to connect with an audience. In his early years, he could cause the heat and put his life in danger more than once when fans literally rioted. At the same time, at WrestleMania 3, fans supported him almost more than the main star of the show, Hulk Hogan. Roddy made an invaluable contribution to the development of the industry, becoming an example for many future generations of wrestlers.

8502.12.2021TigerDiver9.0One of the 80s very finest. Extremely charismatic in every aspect, and possessed an incredible showmanship skill. In the ring, he was not a Flair or a Bret, but he could hang in there with the best of them. Unfortunately, longevity doesn't prove to be his strength, and some of his work in the late 90s wasn't so good in all honesty.
8626.11.2021ALF7.0Unbestritten einer der absoluten Topstars der 80er Jahre. Technisch gesehen kein Superkönner im Ring. Konnte das aber mehr als wettmachen durch seine Persönlichkeit und Charisma. Setzte neue Maßstäbe durch den Pipers Pit. Konnte einen emotional mitreißen wie kaum ein anderer. Konnte aber kaum wrestlen was aber durchs Charisma nicht auffiel. Der Ultimate Warrior konnte auch nicht wrestlen, machte das aber wett durch sein Charisma. Was beim Warrior dazukam: Er setzte neue Maßstäbe (Einzug, Feuerwerk, Musik, Facepaint, Gimmick, Promostil). Da konnte er im Ring so schlecht sein, wie er wollte. Sein Charisma und das Showpaket ließen vergessen, wie handwerklich mies er als Wrestler war wirklich.
8719.10.2021OnlyHalfTheEffinShow10.0Roddy is one of the GOATs of all pro wrestling. Whether as a heel, or a face you paid money to see him. People who criticize him as a worker are the kind who expect to see 30 different flips, super-kicks and false finishes while no-selling everything to move from one contrived planned spot to another. Roddy told stories in his matches, and he told them well. He was a brawler, a scrappy, half-insane, loud-mouthed fighter who could talk a mile a minute. He possessed the innate skill that any pro wrestler or entertainer in general wants and that is the ability to connect with an audience.

9405.09.2021Pete Gallows8.0All things considered, it s an 8 from me. I really, really like Roddy, I ve enjoyed most of his movies too. Very charismatic, good look - very different from everyone else, mic skills - 10, but his in ring skills weren t all that great. His selling was comical at times, which I am not a fan of, his thumb to the eye, back rake, working punches, etc - his moveset was lacking. But he compensated for it by being the personality he was. What I ve always found strange was, that he was supposed to be Scottish (Glasgow, if I remember correctly ) and he never even tried to sound even remotely Scottish. It probably would have been hard to pull off, since he talked so much and so fast, plus most people probably didn? t even know what Scottish accent sounded like, so it didn? t matter to anyone.

10010.06.2021JamesWackenhut5.0The nostalgia is strong with this one. A punch kick guy and not much of a worker. Was on the juice but not a great physique. Famous for promos but basically spoke nonsense. Decent seller. Charismatic. Knew how to work crowd and more importantly protect character. Felt taking the leg drop would kill his mystique so he never got a signature run. Left a lot of money on table. Had very few televised matches of any quality until he returned after Hell Comes to Frog Town and his TV pilot. Associated with early Hogan Era due to war to settle the score but rarely appeared on TV outside Piper? s Pit. Orndorf did all the working in his Wrestlemania main event. Villian on Hulk Hogan? s Rock n Wrestling cartoon. Sang? For Everybody? on first wrestling album. Heenan and brother love probably took more bumps than Piper after WM1 on TV. Innovative announcer and personality in Portland. Even without personality quirks and departures would never have been able to compete with the far more compelling and talented Randy Savage or even Ted DiBase. Was wise to make himself scarce, because his hackneyed and boring matches exposed his huge limitations in ring. Should get a 4 for ring skill and clownish selling. 8 for personality. 6 for actual content of what he said.
