I would of liked it if Cody Rhodes had a mask like Tom Cruise wore in the movie "Vanilla Sky".
I don't get why a fat, boring slob like Dusty gets such a big pop (unless that was edited). He was a pretty good talker but, really, he was a boring wrestler (imo).
Probably edited canned cheers. That is one reason why I do not watch Smackdown. Any time the crowd cheers it sounds like the same old generic roar it always does.
The same could be said for Piper, except Dusty drew more money in alot more places than Piper and was a better worker.
I thought you were intelligent but this has proven otherwise. I am actually shocked.
Seriously, though, just to clarify before you take that too seriously, not because I'm an obvious Piper fan, but I wouldn't consider Piper boring by any means. I have always openly said he wasn't the best in the ring but he is absolutely not boring at all on the mic and I don't think he is boring in the ring. He's not OMG I JUST SHIT MY PANTS exciting (but can be, at times), but I wouldn't say boring. Maybe average, imo. Dusty is just a boring character altogether, IMO.
Not sure about the money comparison, never really looked into it.
Incredibly successful territories were built around Dusty in Florida and Texas, Piper was a mid carder at best his entire career. Dusty was as big an act as the world champ in the days when the world's champ was and was in high demand in Japan as well. Pipes, while a good talker, made it to upper mid card level in Portland and Mid Atlantic, places Dusty main evented when he'd drop by. And when Pipes was brought to the E, he wasn't even really brought in to wrestle, but as to manage and talk. He was pushed in the WM main event because Vince thought having a manager/wrestler would balance out having a real "wrestler" paired with an actor as Orndorf was considered the "Wrestler" and Piper the lesser, but equal to the actor.
As far as exciting goes, I can name only ONE good and exciting Pipes match, the famous Dog Collar match with Valentine, I can list about ten Dusty classics off the top of my head. For a fat slob, Dusty could do everything Pipes could, but with more charisma.Mags/Dusty-Andersons, Dusty/Flair almost everytime, Dusty-Tully barbwire series, Dusty-Stan Hansen and so on. And as far as character goes, Dusty >Pipes by a mile, how else could a fat slob get so tremendously over all over the world looking like that? And Austin and Rock's characters are somewhat spinoffs of Dusty.
So wipe that Piper semen from yo lips and like the negros say "be real".

^I recently watched Wrestlemania 3, and I thought Piper/Adonis was a lot of fun. I totally agree with Dusty having a much better set of matches under his belt though, even if his WWF run was underwhelming. Flair has also said that Dusty could athletically go with the best of them. Flair said he's had probably a hundred 60-minute matches with Dusty, and that he's sure plenty of other guys have done the same, if not more, with him.
That was indeed a fun match, I will give Piper that. But that's a person people should get to know, Adrian Adonis, and not his WWF run, just like people whould know the real Dusty Rhodes, not that fat polka dot caricature that he was for a year and a half in Vinceland.
