Born To Controversy

thirty7

I wasn't sure if there was a thread for this already, but i couldnt be bothered searching. (That's what mods are for) Has anybody seen it? I rented it out last night and loved it. I am a firm believer that Piper was as responsible if not more responsible for the success of 80's wrestling...including Wrestlemania as some guy named Bollea. If you havent seen the dvd, do yourself a favour and get it now because there is a great itnerview with Piper, some great segments and some great stories all the same. I need to go rent out the two bonus discs now with the matches and the full Piper's Pit Segments.

I wish my sex life was like ECW, first you get a One Night Stand followed by 2 months of nostalgic orgasms and then 6 months of constant sucking.

I wasn't a big fan when he was at his best in the mid 80's and so on. I love his mic spots (well nearly all of them, sometimes it goes on a bit too far!). It's quite laughable that he has a rep as being a guy that wasn't a terrific worker. I've seen old tapes of him and his workrate, although not exactly brilliant, was much better than a lot of the guys now who are just flat out embarassing. I guess that comes from a lot of wrestling, a lot of house shows and long matches down the years that enabled him to read a crowd. I'm not entirely sure if it could be true that Hogan wouldn't have become so big without him, but yes every face needs an equally good heel to get over to another level so I can't argue the point!

I seriously want to get this DVD as i loved Piper when i was a kid.

A little too young to remember his 80s work but i remember when he was face and winning the IC belt and everything.

I hope this DVD is good as i want the Hogan one too and don't have the money for both.

Skip Hogan. It's just matches dude. Not worth the 25 bucks. I just purchased piper and will be watching tomorrow. I'll post my thoughts on it afterwards.

Piper one is on my Xmas list, if I don't get it then I'll go out and buy it myself.
