00:00This next contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:03Bienvenido amigos, a Barcelona.
00:09Greetings, Lordship. Oh, thank you.
00:11The Barbarian.
00:13Enjoying your stay here in Spain.
00:15Very much indeed.
00:17I don't think the Barbarian enjoys much of anything.
00:20Except combat.
00:22And we are preparing for war.
00:27Any encounter involving the Barbarian
00:33is pretty much a safe bet.
00:35Because you are going to see an incredible battle.
00:39And when you consider his opponent going out for A's,
00:43it's time to get out the battle points.
00:45Yes, absolutely.
00:46Have you been anywhere here in Barcelona since we've been here, Jean?
00:50Well, I've tried to do quite a bit of sightseeing.
00:52I found it very interesting.
00:54One major thoroughfare.
00:57I think it was called La Rambla,
00:58where a lot of people were just walking up and down.
01:02That's nice.
01:03Very, very interesting.
01:04And Hitler's been supposed to be able to do that forever.
01:09Yes, I do believe.
01:10Probably since Barcelona became a very, very common town.
01:14Isn't that beautiful here?
01:15Oh, it really is.
01:16I kind of stumbled upon that story.
01:17I was just out wandering.
01:20Rowdy, Rowdy, Rowdy Piper never wanders.
01:26Strides with a purpose.
01:29And today he is setting his sights on victory in this matchup against the Barbarian.
01:37The Hot Scots.
01:39Won't be from Scotland, but he has a lot of fans here in Barcelona.
01:44Yes, he does.
01:46I think my pronunciation is even...
01:47Yes, it's correct.
01:49I don't have a list.
01:50Well, I know a Spanish word for Piper.
01:54What is that?
01:55Luchador.
01:57It's Spanish for that word, of course.
02:00I have heard that.
02:01I knew that.
02:02I know you knew that.
02:04But I wanted you to know that I knew that.
02:06How would you say Hot Scott?
02:09Muy caliente Scott?
02:12Yes, that's him.
02:14Yes, he's muy caliente, all right.
02:16And I'm sure he'll be a lot more than that, too, once he gets going against his tough, tough opponent
02:21of his.
02:23The Barbarian.
02:25But he's ready.
02:26He's prepared for action.
02:28Roddy Piper.
02:30He's been here before.
02:31He's wrestled in Spain before.
02:33And they really love him.
02:34They know him so well, as they know all the other WWF stars.
02:39Capacity crowd.
02:42Set to witness this matchup between The Barbarian and Rowdy Roddy Piper.
02:49Not quite sure what they're chanting.
02:52Is that in Spanish?
02:53That is, I would assume, in Spanish.
02:55I suppose it could also be in Catalan, because that's the district where we are here in Spain.
03:02Incidentally, I want to take you to a place called Sitges later.
03:06It's very nice.
03:07It's just a little seaside town.
03:09Las señoritas is muy guapas.
03:14Oh, definitely.
03:15Whatever that might be.
03:16Yes.
03:17What is that?
03:19It's asking if the girls are pretty there.
03:21Oh, they're very pretty.
03:22Yes.
03:22Good to feel.
03:23Well, then I'm there.
03:26You're going to love this place.
03:29Well, I've really been very intrigued by Spain.
03:32So much history.
03:35You're going to have to show me a few of the sights, Lord.
03:38Oh, most history.
03:39You spent some time here.
03:40Yes, I did.
03:40Very near career.
03:41Much earlier in my career.
03:43Yes, I did campaign here in the Plaza de Torres.
03:46I used to live in the Plaza de Cataluña, Hotel Victoria.
03:49It was very, very nice.
03:50You get out to a furious start here.
03:53Nothing resembling wrestling.
03:56Not at the moment.
03:58And Piper should stay away from close physical contact with this huge man, the barbarian.
04:03Piper sending about 30 or 40 pounds to him.
04:06Well, boy, is it a hard time.
04:08He gets between the two superstars.
04:11Troy Morella showing some courage.
04:13Rowdy Roddy Piper enraged.
04:17I think he was well aware of the fact that the only way he's really going to be able to
04:20take it to this wild animal in the ring, a barbarian,
04:25was to use the same tactics.
04:27And he came prepared to fight today.
04:32Again, the two superstars lock up, collar and elbow.
04:39Rowdy Roddy Piper backed into the corner.
04:42Barbarian has exceptional upper body strength.
04:47He is a very powerful man.
04:50A very determined man.
04:52This one much is determined to come out the victim.
04:59Certainly angered.
05:01Barbarian, I've never seen that superstar complain to a referee.
05:05That's exactly what he just did.
05:07Yes.
05:08Intimidated a bit by the hot scott.
05:13Well, we're watching a very, very aggressive Piper in this match.
05:16Piper usually starts up a little bit, Paul, at least.
05:20But he does have a flashpoint, a high flashpoint temper.
05:25But it's already coming to play here.
05:29He's not giving the barbarian an inch.
05:32Do you think for one minute the barbarian knew that he was going to be facing such an unpredictable individual
05:38today?
05:38I don't think he did, I didn't think...
05:41He obviously knew he had the size advantage.
05:44Yes, I didn't think Piper would be this aggressive.
05:47I mean, the dead barbarian.
05:53Side headlock grinding away on that thick neck of the barbarian.
05:58Tough to do damage there.
06:01Very much so barbarian.
06:03Great stamina.
06:05Tremendous power.
06:06Tremendous strength.
06:08He does have some exceptional good wrestling moves.
06:12Nice.
06:13Right off.
06:14And Hayes, while you have to admire the heart of Rowdy Roddy Piper, do you really think he has what
06:18it takes to defeat a massive barbarian?
06:23Well, he has the skills, to put it that way, but whether that is enough to overcome that power possessed
06:29by the barbarian and his stamina, I don't know.
06:32He seems to be impervious to punishment, oblivious to pain.
06:37But that is not always true.
06:39And looks can be deceiving, as we have often found out.
06:43We are going to see if Rowdy Roddy Piper can be sucked in for this test of strength.
06:52Piper looks in good shape, though.
06:54Let's see if he does accept this.
06:56I don't think Piper will do.
06:58I don't know so much.
06:59She comes in.
07:02Drives his shoulder in.
07:04Not allowing the barbarian to get the arms up.
07:09Now he's losing the battle.
07:11And it has been a well-known fact that the barbarian possesses...
07:20the most upper body strength.
07:24Close to having the most upper body strength than any other superstar in the WWF.
07:28But Rowdy Roddy Piper uses other tactics.
07:32As he has done so throughout his career.
07:36And those tactics have brought him great success.
07:40Barbarian comes in.
07:44Rowdy Roddy Piper saw him coming.
07:46Just dipped the shoulder and then sent him right over the top rope.
07:50And I was just mentioning those clever tactics used by the hot staff.
07:53We just saw a clear example.
07:56Well, I think Barbarian got carried away there with his own abilities.
07:59And he became a little bit careless.
08:02And a little bit cavalier in his attitude towards Piper.
08:05And that caused him to commit a couple of very, very serious errors.
08:12Again, the superstar sizing one another up.
08:19We discussed before this encounter that this was really going to be...
08:23A great match to include on Colossum Video's 1992 World Tour.
08:28Certainly not being let down.
08:31Certainly not.
08:32Right, drops the hot Scott.
08:34Sends him playing across the ring.
08:37And neither are all these people who've packed this auditorium here in Barcelona.
08:42They're certainly trying to get behind the hot Scott, Bobby Piper.
08:46He is undoubtedly their favorite in this particular encounter.
08:50But he's got tough, tough opposition across the ring from him.
08:54The Barbarian.
08:55And the Barbarian will not stop up anything here to get a victory.
09:03Righty, righty, Piper is always beginning to show some fatigue in this encounter.
09:09He's got a lot of red wheels across that body of his.
09:13Where he's been struck repeatedly by the Barbarian.
09:16And they're beginning to show now.
09:19Backbreaker.
09:22See just how effective that move was.
09:26Righty, righty, Piper from Wilson.
09:29Just kicks out.
09:31Nice kick out there, Piper.
09:34Yeah, locked in the bear hug.
09:36But Alfred Hayes, he is far away from the ropes.
09:41That is just about the only thing that will save him.
09:43Unless he can figure out a way to get those massive arms.
09:48Well, I think the Barbarian has the most wicked of all bear hugs.
09:52But he uses it constantly.
09:54As I said, right in the very beginning,
09:55Piper should have tried to stay away from close physical contact with the Barbarian.
10:00And you really don't earn any points in your favor by being so close to him.
10:06Piper was doing very well in the beginning.
10:07But now he seems to be fading.
10:10He has taken an awful shellacking.
10:14There's a count of one.
10:16Got two.
10:17One more, Lord Alfred Hayes.
10:18And this battle is over.
10:20Piper, using the ear clap.
10:24Bricks free.
10:27Desperation move pays off.
10:28Now, going up.
10:30Off the second rope.
10:32Right into the arms of the Barbarian.
10:36Looked as though the Hot Scott was attempting to use a double axe handle.
10:43Barbarian waiting for him as he came off the ropes.
10:46Yes, that was a high-risk move here, Tanty there.
10:48At this stage of the match, I don't think that was well advised.
10:52But then again, Piper's not thinking too clearly.
10:55He's got to compose himself, get himself back together.
10:58And here's another move of desperation on the part of Piper.
11:05Barbarian sends Rowdy Roddy Piper into the ropes.
11:08Small package rolls up to Barbarian.
11:10Can't keep him down, though.
11:13It was a very sloppy cover, that, with a small package.
11:16He couldn't complete it properly.
11:19He sort of rolled into the side.
11:20But this is a better one.
11:22Barbarian tries to body slam Rowdy Roddy Piper.
11:25He holds on, brings over the Barbarian, and nearly ended this encounter.
11:31Clothesline from the Wild Superstar.
11:34That certainly rocks the Hot Scott.
11:36He goes over the second rope.
11:38And hard onto the arena floor.
11:41Lost his bearings.
11:42Yes, he didn't know where he was there.
11:44He's very dizzy.
11:45He's been stunned.
11:46He's taken some very heavy blows from the Barbarian.
11:50But look at the Barbarian.
11:51He's not all the butter for this encounter.
11:54He's beginning to show signs of what Piper's managed to do to him.
11:59Comes over the top of the Sunset Flip.
12:02Can he win this leverage battle?
12:05Barbarian nearly over.
12:07No, drops down to his knees.
12:10He's missing the leverage.
12:12Joy Marotta kicks his leg straight.
12:14Rowdy Roddy Piper turns the Barbarian over and comes up with a surprising victory.
12:20This is Crowder Rocks.
12:21Rowdy Roddy Piper.
12:24And Lord Alfred Hayes, I'm sure you will agree when I say Rowdy Roddy Piper is a fighter.
12:30He never gave up.
12:32And in this battle, it certainly paid off against a very, very tough opponent, the Barbarian.
12:38Let's take a look at some of the action.
12:40Well, I think Piper had a reason to complain here.
12:43Not Piper, I should say the Barbarian.
12:45Now, watch this move here by the referee.
12:47I don't think that's right.
12:49Piper was fortunate to gain a victory here.
12:51However, it's a victory that will stand.
12:54Piper, really, a great wrestler.
12:57Barbarian, Rob, just like me.
12:59Piper, your winner.
