Portland! Hey, there's Evad Sullivan! Scotty the Body offers $100 to anyone who'll take him on in arm wrestling. A fan comes out of the crowd, and Scotty and Al Madril can't stop laughing at his arms. Scotty beats him easily, and suddenly we hear a fuss in the crowd before RODDY PIPER shows up! Surprise surprise. Piper wins after a little struggle and collects the money, but starts giving it out to fans at ringside. $100 was at stake, were they just getting $1 bills? Anyway, who knew Piper was here this late?

Fiesta Garden looks like the homeless man's Piper's Pit, but Al Madril and Scotty the Body are entertaining in this. Fun segment, and it must have been cool to be in the Portland studio that day and see Roddy Piper randomly show up unannounced.

 

Unrelated: who can get to Disneyland on $100 anyway? Even in 1990, I don't think you could take your kids to Disneyland on $100 if you lived in Anaheim, let alone Portland.

The most amazing thing about this segment when you consider who's in it is that Piper only had one line. He gets a big hand when he beats the future Raven, who's really laying on the New York accent here. I thought he'd give all the money to the first contestant so the guy could take his kids to Disneyland, but he hands it out to the crowd instead, which seems more fair (although the guy gets at least one bill as a souvenir). Part of me wishes that this had led to something, although it's perfectly understandable why Rod went back to the WWF once Jesse left the booth.

 

Loved Madril's references to the "bicepticles"!

Some Portland on the Yearbook! It’s the Fiesta Garden with Al Madril, and he’s got Scotty the Body and The Equalizer with him. Madril says that Scotty is a former arm wrestling champion and he’s putting up $100 to anyone who can beat him in an arm wrestling contest. A chap out of the audience gets into the ring and Madril is already dismissive of him. They get him to take off his jacket so they can see him ‘biceppials’ and the three of them laugh at his physique with Scotty on the floor in hysterics. Madril asks the guy what he would do should he win the $100 and he says he’ll take his children to Disneyland. He scoffs at that and says he isn’t going anywhere! They set the table up ready and Scotty tells his opponent that they are playing by the Marquis of Queensbury arm wrestling rules, so don’t deviate! Scotty appears to start before Madril has said go and doesn’t even get his arm all the way down, but Madril declares him the winner anyway. He says that was the easiest match he’s ever had and Al wonders if there is anybody else around here to challenge him. The crowd start making a bit of a commotion and RODDY PIPER enters the ring!!! Scotty says didn’t he see Piper in that movie ‘Ernest Goes to Jail’, which he and Madril both find hilarious. Madril asks whether the big movie star is hurting for $100, but Piper replies ‘no’,he just loves Disneyland!’ They have the match with Scotty pulling all kinds of facial expressions and after a bit of a struggle, Piper wins. He gives the $100 to the guy who wrestled Scotty originally and then takes more of his money which he hands out to the ringside crowd.

 

This was surreal seeing Piper here just a fortnight after Wrestlemania. I’ve always read and heard about how he was loyal to Don Owen, but to actually see it. Madril was very good hosting the segment and was a better talker than Scotty here (who wasn’t bad himself).
