6 Best WWE Pay-Per-View Segments

6. Piper's Pit (WrestleMania 21)

Piper's Pit, hosted by the late, great Roddy Piper, is the wrestling talk show to which all subsequent wrestling talk shows will forever owe a debt of gratitude. Without it, there probably would have been no Highlight Reel, nevermind Miz TV or the short-lived Cafe de René.

With this in mind, it was pretty easy for fans in attendance at WrestleMania 21 to accept that part of their evening was going to be spent watching two part-timers trade verbal barbs, particularly since the man standing opposite Piper was none other than Stone Cold Steve Austin.

As expected, just as it looked like they might come to blows, their confrontation was interrupted by a young Carlito, who duly took a well-deserved ass-kicking for disrespecting his elders before Austin (of course) finished up by delivering a Stone Cold Stunner to Piper and necking a can of beer.

It was a segment that could have easily taken place on a Raw supershow, to be fair, but few of those in the Los Angeles crowd complained about seeing it on the Grandest Stage of Them All. When it's two of the biggest characters in WWE history, you can't really blame them for making you pay.
