Two GREAT legends Adrian Adonis and of course Piper. Gone but NEVER forgotten.

My heart used to break watching Roddy in interviews still shaken and upset over Adrian's untimely death. And rightly so because they were best friends. Poor guy never got over the loss of his "brother ". I hope they are together now...

You can feel the heartache. Wrestlers develop special bonds with one another; they're on the road so much that their only family is other wrestlers. Many wrestlers come from tough family backgrounds (see Jake Roberts' difficult relationship with his father). It's a brotherhood that is unlike any other in sports or the entertainment business.

RIP Roddy. Roddy really appreciated those that helped him and seemed to really care for those he considered friends, through thick and thin. That is a very rare trait.

And here's your host to the Flower Shop....Adorable Adrian!!!💅💐

I miss Rod! He had so much to offer Professional Wrestling; and his insight was so unique. For someone who experienced such hardships as a young boy, he had a surprisingly warm heart.

@@stacyhamilton2619 again I go on who I think is underrated I don’t use a point system like Meltzer.

Piper was so right here. The pops for that match were big time. In addition to Piper's huge pop, Adonis got MASSIVE heat. A similarly big reaction went out to the Junkyard Dog that day. Awesome event to watch to this day. Probably the best.

My Scottish mother loved you Roddy Piper, you walked on water....rest in peace❤️🙏🏻

Rest in peace Rowdy Roddy and Adorable Adrian I miss you both

RIP Piper.

It's been said that Adonis was a disrespectful jerk behind the scenes, but watched out for Piper. Helped Piper get on track when when he was lost in life. It's like Adonis was two different people.

Your voice is so soothing

There is zero doubt Piper if he was still alive would be in an angle with MJF in AEW, ..Piper still had zip on his fastball so it would be epic back and forth on the mic 🎤

RIP .DAM HES GONE ADRIAN WAS A GREAT GUY INDEED HE WAS LOVED BY ALL OF THE WRESTLERS

Piper was a great heel. Flower shop was underrated. Flower shop was funny.

With hopes of rejoining WWF and having lost weight, Adrian worked for Dave McKigney in Newfoundland and wrestled against Hartford Love. On July 4, 1988, in Lewisporte, Newfoundland, Adrian was in a minivan with fellow wrestlers, and twins William "Mike Kelly" Arko, Victor "Pat Kelly" Arko, and Dave McKigney. Adrian, McKigney, and Victor Arko were killed when Victor Arko, allegedly blinded by the setting sun, swerved to avoid hitting a moose causing the van to fall from a bridge into a creek below. Adrian suffered severe head injuries and died a few hours later. William Arko was the sole survivor and sustained severe leg injuries.

Many great memories. What year was this interview?

Anyone know when this interview took place ?

the hotrod rowdy rooowwwdyy piper!!!😇

Adrian Adonis could take a bump like no other...maybe Harley Race...for those who haven't watched old clips... man take a look at these guys , they could take great bumps...and Adonis for being a big guy, he moved man! Prior to the whole 'crossdressing', he was a damn good wrestler, particularly in tag team (i wanna say with ventura, etc)
