It really boggles me how for 20 yrs piper could just say no to getting pinned and have 90% of his matches end in count outs... I mean sure in 1985 he was the #2 guy but by 89 he was just another midcarder so how was he still able to tell the promoters "tough shit, no one will pin me"

It's also pretty much bullshit since he was pinned several times over the years

Yeah Ive totally seen him get pinned. Snuka pinned him in a strap match at least once so I'm guessing theres plenty more.

Raven once told a story on his shoot with the honky tonk man, that part of Piper never jobbing was because of his exaggerated bad ass reputation. That the bookers in Portland and the WWF were even afraid to ask him to job.
Piper also said that he refused to job, because back in the day without contracts, he was scared that once he lost Vince was gonna stop using him. Kinda like before him, most of the heels that the champion faced were villains of the week, like once they lost they were gone.
