 I can't find anything about the reasoning behind this anywhere on the internets, does anyone know why this occurred? |

He was in a fued with Bad News. He was trying to mock him. According to legend thy ribbed Piper by changing the paint. The black wouldn't wash off so he had to go on th planes and around doing his best Micheal Jackson impression of Black ad White

The black wouldn't wash off so he had to go on th planes and around doing his best Micheal Jackson impression of Black ad White actually the story is that backstage at WM6, Andre dumped the solution Piper used to take the paint off and replaced it with water. so Piper had to take the plane back home with the black paint on. |

I can't find anything about the reasoning behind this anywhere on the internets, does anyone know why this occurred? According to Piper in a 2003 shoot interview - it was his attempt to show peace and harmony or something. I'd have to track down the exerpt, but it was based on some book, movie or song Piper had seen. It was a cool visual, and I doubt it was intended to be racist. Just Piper being Piper. But it was still "blackface" and I doubt anybody really thought it was *THAT* funny. I think it was Piper trying to say this isn't about Bad News being black, its about him being a thug - but I might be wrong. Never know when it comes to Piper. |

I always thought it was a Michael Jackson reference. The song Black or White had just come out, and Piper puts on a glove during the match.

They actually made a figure of this and it's limited to only 100.
Never knew anything about this other then it was intended to be with an angle with Bad News. Bad News wasn't around long after this too if I'm not mistaken.

FYI: Black or White wasn't released until a year or so later.

Bad News wasn't around long after this too if I'm not mistaken. I don't think this feud even continued past Mania. It was like two weeks post Mania they pushed BN into a feud with Jake that really made no sense and they sorta dropped the feud with Jake/Dibiasie just like that aswell. Neither feud got the big time payoff and it's like one week both parties just forgot about killing eachother and found somebody else to mess with. According to Scott Keith's rant's, Piper is racist and doesn't care for black people. |

Apparently Piper was a noted racist, Bad News also mentioned this during a shoot interview. He hated that gimmick Piper used at WM6 but Piper and McMahon insisted that they use it and Bad News went along with it because it would expose Piper as a racist. Several wrestlers and personalities have also said that Piper regularly used racial slurs back stage, including the N-word. If you listen to Piper during PBP he would regularly drop racist comments especially towards Slick constantly saying that he wanted to eat fried chicken and other stupid garbage.

Roddy Piper racist? Give me a break. Not only will he give black guys free sunglasses, he'll even fight them and get his ass kicked just to get them to try them on.
