Loss Posted November 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Portland! Hey, there's Evad Sullivan! Scotty the Body offers $100 to anyone who'll take him on in arm wrestling. A fan comes out of the crowd, and Scotty and Al Madril can't stop laughing at his arms. Scotty beats him easily, and suddenly we hear a fuss in the crowd before RODDY PIPER shows up! Surprise surprise. Piper wins after a little struggle and collects the money, but starts giving it out to fans at ringside. $100 was at stake, were they just getting $1 bills? Anyway, who knew Piper was here this late? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Waco Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Piper loved Don Owen and would pop up there as a favor pretty regularly for years after he left as a favor to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Scotty squashes some fan in an arm wrestling challenge, and as he's gloating the crowd explodes. RODDY PIPER! Piper takes up the challenge and wins Scotty's cash. I vaguely remember seeing Piper's name in the PWI rankings for PNW, but that was unexpected.

soup23 Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Piper being in this setting was real surprising and a treat on the set because I didn't expect it at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 I was wondering who was coming out next to challenge him. Piper was a great surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Ridge Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Could $100 take your kids to Disney World is 1990? Inflation sure has got crazy. Scotty easily wins arm wrestling contest. Then to my surprise Piper shows up to challenge Scotty. Very theatrical performance by both men. Piper wins and gives the money away to fans.

Cox Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Fiesta Garden looks like the homeless man's Piper's Pit, but Al Madril and Scotty the Body are entertaining in this. Fun segment, and it must have been cool to be in the Portland studio that day and see Roddy Piper randomly show up unannounced. Unrelated: who can get to Disneyland on $100 anyway? Even in 1990, I don't think you could take your kids to Disneyland on $100 if you lived in Anaheim, let alone Portland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garretta Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 The most amazing thing about this segment when you consider who's in it is that Piper only had one line. He gets a big hand when he beats the future Raven, who's really laying on the New York accent here. I thought he'd give all the money to the first contestant so the guy could take his kids to Disneyland, but he hands it out to the crowd instead, which seems more fair (although the guy gets at least one bill as a souvenir). Part of me wishes that this had led to something, although it's perfectly understandable why Rod went back to the WWF once Jesse left the booth. Loved Madril's references to the "bicepticles"!

drew wardlaw Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 $100 won't even buy you and your kids a roun of turkey legs at Disneyland. Scotty the Body references Marquis of Queensbury rules! Four years before the Regal/Flair series of the same name. So I wonder what Marquis of Queensbury actually is and what its relevance is in wrestling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSR Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Some Portland on the Yearbook! It’s the Fiesta Garden with Al Madril, and he’s got Scotty the Body and The Equalizer with him. Madril says that Scotty is a former arm wrestling champion and he’s putting up $100 to anyone who can beat him in an arm wrestling contest. A chap out of the audience gets into the ring and Madril is already dismissive of him. They get him to take off his jacket so they can see him ‘biceppials’ and the three of them laugh at his physique with Scotty on the floor in hysterics. Madril asks the guy what he would do should he win the $100 and he says he’ll take his children to Disneyland. He scoffs at that and says he isn’t going anywhere! They set the table up ready and Scotty tells his opponent that they are playing by the Marquis of Queensbury arm wrestling rules, so don’t deviate! Scotty appears to start before Madril has said go and doesn’t even get his arm all the way down, but Madril declares him the winner anyway. He says that was the easiest match he’s ever had and Al wonders if there is anybody else around here to challenge him. The crowd start making a bit of a commotion and RODDY PIPER enters the ring!!! Scotty says didn’t he see Piper in that movie ‘Ernest Goes to Jail’, which he and Madril both find hilarious. Madril asks whether the big movie star is hurting for $100, but Piper replies ‘no’,he just loves Disneyland!’ They have the match with Scotty pulling all kinds of facial expressions and after a bit of a struggle, Piper wins. He gives the $100 to the guy who wrestled Scotty originally and then takes more of his money which he hands out to the ringside crowd. This was surreal seeing Piper here just a fortnight after Wrestlemania. I’ve always read and heard about how he was loyal to Don Owen, but to actually see it. Madril was very good hosting the segment and was a better talker than Scotty here (who wasn’t bad himself). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawho5 Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Piper showing up was really fun, and I liked Raven here. Madril was actually pretty damn entertaining as the narrator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
