** Taking this even further is the fact that Piper just about always refused to lose cleanly by pinfall or submission; disqualification or count-out was okay, but titles cannot change hands that way, which is probably why he never held a championship before this - there would be no feasible way to crown a new champion after him. For Piper to lose cleanly to Hart with the Intercontinental title on the line says volumes about how he felt about the Hitman.

* Piper's out of character moment when Wrestling/AndreTheGiant turned on HulkHogan on an episode of Piper's Pit just before [=WrestleMania=] III. Rather than his usual manic bluster, he softly pointed out that an almost hysterical Hogan was bleeding and helped him to the back. Bear in mind the two characters could barely stand each other despite being both on the same side.

* Bobby Heenan dressed as Santa went out of his way to ridicule the kids who believed in Santa. Piper was the wrong guy to be around when he did as such.

* His famous ''Wrestling/{{WrestleMania}} VIII'' match with Wrestling/BretHart, where, after teasing a heel turn (and wielding a ring bell at that!) he just couldn't bring himself to screw over his old friend. Bret ultimately wins, but the two embrace afterward in a ''very'' rare show of respect from Piper.
