JKWebb Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 MSG - Steel Cage -Roddy Piper defeats Rick Rude (w/ Bobby Heenan) This match is so much fun. You have Rick Rude's incredible selling off his bumps into the cage. You have the typical chaotic antics of Piper. You have the Heenan element on the outside swelling the heat. Rude actually drops a knee on Piper from the top of the cage! There are some really great nearfalls produced down the stretch. There is cool spot where Piper and Rude go over the top to escape at the same time, but their feet touch at the exact same time. So, the ref states the match will continue. Rude gets bloodied. It's really exactly what you would hope for as a fan of these two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheapshot Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 A super fun MSG Cage Match between Rude and Piper. Rude was on top form here bumping around, hanging from the cage, bleeding, dropping a giant knee from the top of the cage. It was the Rick Rude show. A different spot than the norm was both guys touching the floor at the same time, and the referee ordering the match to continue. Rick Rude's ass was hanging out for the latter half of the match, which the version I GIF'd was thankfully pixelated. Heenan was involved during this, slamming the cage door on Piper and passing Rude brass knux, which led to the finish. ***1/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstar Sleeze Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 Rick Rude vs Roddy Piper - WWF 12/28/89 Steel Cage I've been meaning to watch this forever and it totally lives up to the hype. Rude was already a great wrestler at this point and this match had a ton of bells & whistles. Rude jumps Piper as he is entering the door. Once Piper hurls Rude into the cage back first, the match is on. Great bump by Rude there. We get Piper strapping Rude with his belt. We get Rude being crotched. Piper sending him head first into the cage. There is a weird delayed bladejob here. Like I said a lot of bells & whistles and I love that. Piper gets crotched and now Rude takes over. Piper yanks Rude back in by the trunk exposing his ass. Rude wrestles the rest of the match with ass hanging out. As Steve Austin would say, a lot of gaga. Rude hits the RUDE AWAKENING! Piper again mounts comeback. They do a simultaneous jump and instead of ruling it a draw they restart the match. Rude blasts Piper with a chair. Then in the spot of the match Rude hits a Top of the Cage Bombs Away Knee Drop! WOW! 1-2-NO! There are pinfalls in this match. Rude hits a piledriver for two. He wants another top of the cage Bombs Away Knee Drop, but Piper shakes the cage and he crotches himself on the cage. They dangle Rude by his feet and I bit hard on this as the finish. I really thought that was it and BANG! Heenan slams the door shut on Piper's face. Wow! Heenan gives the knux to Rude, but they end up in Piper's hand and he cleans Rude's clock for the real finish. Wow! As a person that loves big wrestling with all the trappings this had a ton of highspots and gimmicks. I LOVED IT! Wicked fun! ****1/4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
