*some language warning*
No way that would fly these days... hell, it barely flew then. That's some hardcore heel stuff though. Shame Lawler can't at least bring that intensity to a promo anymore.
Edit:brain farted on the no WWE vids, sorry there lol

WOW. Somebody needs some sensitivity training from GLAAD for that one. ;D
I had totally forgotten that feud even took place.
Roddy Piper's "wet dreams" promo on the Mountie at the Royal Rumble would never happen in today's WWE, I don't think. But then again, Piper+a live mic is always going to equal "unpredictable".

Anyone who ever feuded with Tito Santana would have to alter their promos dramatically.

Piper's Bad News Brown WM V Promo/make up.
Hell, like someone else said, pretty much anytime Piper is given a live mic. And I love the guy!

Not a promo, per se, but one time in WCW, Hogan called the cameraman a "jiggly jiggly Jew."

He has the looks of Andre the Giant, and the strength of Barry Windham. Not to mention he's a hero to a few armadillos, a kangaroo and a small herd of bison.

One more from Piper, I wouldn't be able to see WWE letting him bottle himself these days.

I remember Hogan's "reign" in 1993, when he was about to face Yokozuna at KOTR, there were a series of interviews on the set of Thunder In Paradise where he said that the WWF title should never be held by a "Jap". I remember even then as a 12 year old thinking "naaaah, not cool".

The Tyson DX heel turn segment started with shawn calling tyson a "boy" (though i seem to remember heel hbk doing that with other wrestlers, so it may not count).

Just about any Col. DeBeers promo. I remember Hogan's "reign" in 1993, when he was about to face Yokozuna at KOTR, there were a series of interviews on the set of Thunder In Paradise where he said that the WWF title should never be held by a "Jap". I remember even then as a 12 year old thinking "naaaah, not cool". Awwww Hulkster. What would Hiro Matsuda think?

Piper wanting to know why Mr T would want to wear more chains than his ancestors And this is THE answer. Came here to say it. If say, John Cena said it to, oh..I don't know..Big Zeke...what the hell do you think would happen?

What was the video that was in the OP? The reaction in the second post got me interested. It was Lawler calling out Goldust, and saying some VERY un-PC things that I don't think GLAAD would be too happy about, if it were to happen today. Also, Lawler throws in a shot at Terri/Marlena and Dustin's DAUGHTER at the end of the promo that not only crosses the line, but jumps BACK across to do it three more times. NASTY promo, and I'm sure Lawler ad-libbed at least the last portion of it, if not all of it. Though, in hindsight, Jerry Lawler is the LAST guy who ought to be talking about familial SHAME, when it comes right down to it.
