Roddy Piper and Chris Jericho discuss Jericho's belittling the WWE Legends and Piper talks about what it's like to be Old School, a very different side to Roddy Piper. Really quite fantastic!

00:25 The Academy Awards are on Sunday and if any Academy members are watching I implore you to not vote 00:32 for Mickey Rourke for best actor. 00:34 Because if you do, 00:37 it could spark a chain reaction that has terrible consequences on this business. 00:43 You see, if Rourke wins, 00:46 that would send a message to all the Hall of Famers, 00:48 all of the legends, 00:50 all of the washed-up has-been losers 00:54 who are holding on,leeching off this business, 00:57 begging for one last run of success. 01:01 But I'm here to say that's not gonna happen. 01:03 They're very delusional about this, but the truth is: 01:06 It won't happen. And the only one with enough courage to tell them so is me. 01:13 But I know why all of you respect the legends so. 01:18 Why you cheer for them, why you encourage them, 01:20 why you enable them. It's because they're all just like you: 01:25 Weak, shallow, insecure human beings. 01:31 Hypocrites and liars, 01:33 who need to be shut down and shut up for their own good. 01:45 And you can boo me if you want but you're booing an honest man. 01:49 A man who tells the truth. Yeah, you don't like that, do ya? But the truth hurts. 01:55 And I will continue to tell the truth... 03:11 You want the truth? 03:14 I'm gonna shoot with you on this one. 03:19 Let me tell you something, man, 03:22 I have watched you your entire career. 03:28 And I like you. I'll tell you why. 03:34 You said what was on your mind 03:38 and then you had the guts to come in the ring and back it up. 03:46 I respected that. It reminded me of somebody I know. What happened? 03:58 Now, you get on television and you're running your mouth. 04:04 You're calling me out, you're calling Flair out, 04:09 you're calling the other legends out. 04:19 You used to be entertaining. What happened? 04:25 You're judging us. You patronize us. 04:30 You tell us what we should be and what should not be doing. 04:36 Let me take one of your quotes: Please, shut the hell up. 04:56 Sure, Piper. Dance like a puppet on a string. 05:00 Make all of these fans cheer for you... 05:03 I'M NOT FINISHED YET! 05:10 Mickey Rourke is my friend. 05:16 And I watched his movie ‘The Wrestler'. And yes, I cried. 05:23 The movie is not about a bunch of old timers that want another run. 05:32 The movie is about the honor and respect we have for everyone. 05:42 The movie is about the pain - physically and emotionally. 05:54 And most of all, most important why we do what we do 06:03 for the thrill of performing. 06:08 Ric Flair was right: We live for this! 06:20 I have people to come up to me and say: 06:24 Hey Roddy, we remember when you slapped Mr. T. 06:31 And I have people come up to me and say: 06:39 'When my grandad was alive we watched you shave Adrian Adonis' head. 06:52 And Chris, you wanna bury these moments. 06:57 No, these moments are to be celebrated. These moments... 07:04 Last year I was in the Royal Rumble and when I came out in the Madison Square Garden, 07:12 24.000 people jumped to their feet. And just for one second, Chris, 07:19 I felt like I was back in the first WrestleMania. 07:27 That was the thrill of a lifetime for me. 07:50 I have one hip and I hurt all the time. 07:59 But as long as these folks here say so, 08:05 I will crawl down here on my hands and knees to give them one more memorable moment because old school's cool. 08:45 Crawl! Crawl! Crawl around! You wanna crawl around here, Piper? You can crawl. 08:52 Dance like a puppet on a string! You want respect? You want respect? 08:57 Crawl! Crawl! Crawl for these... Crawl! Crawl! Crawl around, Piper!
