And I can remember saying, ‘Okay, we can do that’. But I’m a 240-pound man pushing off the top turnbuckle, and you’ve got your hands around my neck. And all I can do, as a 240-pound man, is fall with all my weight on your face from that height, straight back. And you can’t break your fall because your arms are around my neck, you’ve got a sleeper hold on me.
I remember saying, ‘It’s a dangerous move. I could break your neck, or at least break your nose, or knock all your teeth out, or something. That’s a hard fall to take’. And whenever I watch it back, you watch how Roddy takes that bump flat on his back, all my weight right on his face. And it was a gutsy call, and it was a very generous thing he did for me in that match. And I loved the match, and I loved its voice.
Roddy, like Mr. Perfect, Roddy was a guy who was going to open the door for me, he was going to hold the door open for me to help me get to the next level.
A lot of wrestlers hadn’t done that for me, and some would never do that for me.
Roddy was a guy, that’s what I love about Roddy, he was a guy that was going to try and open the door for the next generation.
There’s a lot of guys like Hulk Hogan, Jake Roberts, and Ultimate Warrior, guys like that, who never held the door open for anybody.
As soon as their careers ended, they slammed the door shut and never did anything for anybody, for whatever reasons.
But Roddy Piper was a guy that opened the door for the next generation, and I never forget that.”
