15. Once A Hotbed, Always A Hotbed

One of the most memorable things about Roddy Piper was his groundbreaking interview segment, €œPiper€™s Pit.€ Unlike previous interview segments, where an announcer or host asked questions of a wrestler and/or manager, Piper€™s Pit put a wrestler in control of the interview, asking fellow wrestlers questions. Piper was the perfect person to lead this charge, as his brash, manic and quick-witted style worked perfectly in these often unscripted segments. Often times, Piper€™s guests would be on the receiving end of not just a tongue-lashing, but a physical lashing as well. Even the longest-reigning WWF/E Champion in history was no different.Piper€™s Pit provided some of the most memorable segments on WWE television, and it could always be counted on to stir up controversy. Nearly 30 years after the Bruno Sammartino incident at Madison Square Garden, Piper was up to his old tricks with some of the WWE€™s young guns, the Shield.Proof that no matter the era, Piper could still get under people€™s skin.
