I loved his feud with Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka, one of my favorite wrestlers of all time.

Jimmy on his famous moment with Roddy Piper and the Piper's Pit with the coconut to the head: "The most important thing about this whole thing with the coconut is I had to think 'what can I do to prepare for what is going to happen with this coconut'. How was it going to go and work out the way he's going to have to communicate with me because if we do it right, it's going to be done right. So, he hit me with the coconut, the pineapples, the bananas all right, so when it came time for that last coconut, I was just staring him down because I ain't going to look away, you know, I've got to see everything happening, you know? When it happened, brudda, when it happened and he hit me over the head with that coconut; thank God I had my bandana on, you know? But still it cut me open and I got so dizzy. I just kept going one way and I remember going into a wall and went down. That whole thing, brudda, is where it started. We both knew, when it was all said and done, I told him 'I think we got them'."

Even fake, that is pretty hard to watch. Roddy and the WWF certainly were not concerned about being politically correct.
