“Rowdy” Roddy Piper vs. Goldust Hollywood Backlot Brawl (1996)

Rev up your engines and get ready to race down the 405 as we travel from the backlot of Universal to the stage of Wrestlemania 12 in an epic, multi-part brawl between “Rowdy” Roddy Piper and Goldust. The ILW Trio discuss why this match still holds up almost 20 years later, the importance of Goldust’s character, and how OJ Simpson might have played an even bigger role in Wrestlemania. It doesn’t matter if Jey is quitting the WWE - we know he’ll still be there, but can’t say the same for Lacey Evans as Matt salutes her departure. We talk about our current favorite in-ring talent, with Audio Ben spotlighting Ilya Dragunov, and Rachel provides a close analysis of the next lyric in “Line in the Sand”.TWITTER @ilwpodRACHEL’S TWITTER @rpolansky77 BEN’S TWITTER @grumphandleslam MATT’S TWITTER @maxvocalmediaINSTAGRAM @ilwpodTIKTOK @mattvogel5 and @ilwpod#ilikewrestlingpod #ilwpod
