I have Piper involved in 4 good matches

Which ones in case I need to watch them again?

 

[Hoss]

And he is arguably the greatest talker ever. So, I mean... his resume is rock solid regardless.

 

[Crippler]

Starrcade 83, Mania against Goldust, Mainia against Bret and the 92 Rumble

 

[Smart Marx]

He was fine.

Fine is an adequate descriptive. His character work was enough to enjoy him. I just didn’t think he had enough in the ring to see him as a main event is all.

 

[Hoss]

You've said on many occasions that character/promo/entertainment factor is more important to you than in ring stuff though

 

[Smart Marx]

And he is arguably the greatest talker ever. So, I mean... his resume is rock solid regardless.

Absolutely. I’ll never knock his promo work. Even in WCW. Hell he absolutely sold many a great gimmick there. Even when he and Flair were heel co-president and Flair went insane.

It is, but Piper just didn’t make me believe he could hang with other top guys. He played the part he was given perfectly. The cowardly heel that never got the big win.

 

[Hoss]

Fair enough

 

[Smart Marx]

Fair enough

That said, I wouldn’t have hated if he beat Hogan during his 5 years as WWF Champion I’d have overlooked not seeing him that way if he broke up that Hogan monotony.

 

[Hoss]

Very interesting. I think Piper was money with the right opponents. Hart for example. I wouldn't count on him to carry a match, but he could carry any program.

 

[Hoss]

I kind of want to get a 80s TEW mod so I can pull some strings and create a promotion with Piper as the top dog.

 

[Hoss]

I know there's one out there that is pre-Hulkamania

 

[Hidden Blaze]

I was doing an 80s one but didn't stick to it to long lol.

 

[Smart Marx]

My opinion of Piper not withstanding I’d fuck with your TEW to see how you booked Piper as your top guy.

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

Oh shit, speaking of TEW... I need to get Rebirth in the books.
