Piper's Pit with Brother Love and Morton Downey Jr.
I will argue with anyone that this is the worst segment in Wrestlemania history. At least Cole/Lawler had Austin who always finds a way to be entertaining. This is 20 minutes of Brother Love screaming, Piper making homophobic jokes, and Morton Downey Jr. blowing smoke. I rewatched this in preparation for this pick to see if it was really as bad as I remember, and my God it is somehow worse.
The segment begins with Brother Love coming out to Piper's music. Love cuts a terrible promo that can most accurately be described as migraine-inducing. He gets interrupted by Morton Downey Jr. who lights up a cigarette, and quickly delivers our first homophobic joke of the night. After what feels like 3 hours, we are saved (we were not saved) by one of the GOAT on the mic (one of the WOAT on the mic) the one and only Roddy Piper. Hot Rod quickly begins in on Brother Love, making fun of him for wearing a skirt, of course Brother Love is not wearing a skirt, he's wearing a kilt just like Piper. Piper makes several gay jokes, before we finally get to the big payoff where Piper rips off Brother Love's kilt, exposing his red underwear. Brother Love runs away, and we are left with Piper and Morton Downey Jr. in the ring.
Piper turns his attention to Morton, and Morton blows smoke in Piper's face. Piper tells Downey Jr. to not do that again, to which Downey Jr. responds by blowing smoke in his face. This exact thing must have happened 5 more times. Piper talks for like 10 more minutes, with several more homophobic jokes until we finally get this amazing finish:
Grades for all involved:
