Rowdy Roddy Piper rassles Ari Shaffir onstage at the Improv to defend porn star Dana DeArmond

Sam Tripoli's "Naughty Show" at the Hollywood Improv got a little down and dirty last week when "The Amazing Racist" (aka comedian Ari Shaffir) dishonored porn star and comedy fan Dana DeArmond in some fashion that is not captured on tape. What was captured was what happened next: 1980s WWF star heel "Rowdy" Roddy Piper emerged to defend DeArmond's honor, called out Shaffir, and then, inevitably, they rassled. Spoiler alert? Piper won.

TMZ took the footage and ran with it last night. Shaffir, who infamously was at the center of a different feud in front of a live comedy club audience (See: Rogan v. Mencia), took a different level of pride about this more recent encounter.
