Rowdy Roddy Piper

O Hall of Famer Roddy Piper vinha a ter problemas com os oficiais da WWE e foi este o motivo para este não fazer parte do jogo WWE 2K14. Estes problemas já foram resolvidos e Piper espera trabalhar mais vezes com a WWE neste ano de 2014....

Os problemas chegaram quando Piper teve de assinar contrato para participar no reality show Legend House e este contrato mencionava que Piper não poderia participar em qualquer outro programa de wrestling ou de MMA antes do reality show começar a ser transmitido e depois de certos dias de ir para o ar. O reality show já foi filmado e Piper vendo que o show demoraria a ir para o ar recusou assinar o contrato pois o seu filho é lutador de MMA e este não quer por em jogo qualquer contrato que o filho possa assinar e onde uma presença sua num evento poderia ajudar a sua carreira.

Os problemas entre Piper e a WWE foram resolvidos pois a WWE quer que ele esteja no fim-de-semana da WrestleMania XXX.

Goradas as chances de lutar na Wrestlemania XXX, Roddy Piper continua a fazer pressão para participar no evento e a ideia mais recente é um Piper`s Pit. Roddy Piper disse no twitter: "WMXXX PUT HOGAN IN PIPER'S PIT, FREE FORM! ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO RUN IN?? BRING IT ON!!! A NIGHT YOU WON'T FORGET!! @PROMISE"

O WWE Hall of Famer Roddy Piper deu uma entrevista ao The Baltimore Sun. Eis os highlights:...

Are you going to be involved at all with Wrestlemania Weekend? I'm going to be there. You know, that's a good question. I have a lot of thoughts about it. I don't know any other entertainment sport where 30 years later you could give the fans the opportunity to see the two guys who started it at the War to Settle The Score. Personally, I think that if you don't hit the bagpipes, there's 30 years and I don't know how many millions of fans that you're cheating of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It's not about money, it's not about hearing your name get chanted either. It's about saying thank you I think. You want to give the fans what they deserve and you want to do it with class. So am I going to be part of it? I don't know. I don't know. I wouldn't mind inducting T into the Hall of Fame, I guarantee you would never forget that induction. I doubt they'll do that one but they may. I don't know what they're going to do. Tell me when I get there.

Speaking of Mr. T, what do you think of him being inducted into the Hall of Fame? I'm glad he's being inducted into the Celebrity wing. At the time, at the first Wrestlemania, Mr. T was probably the most famous television celebrity in the world. So I think the guy deserves to be inducted into the Celebrity Hall of Fame. Personally, what I've got with him or against him I think it's time to grow up. Just don't mention my name. Leave me out of your speech, T.

When you were on that show back in January, you really put over CM Punk. What do you think of his situation now with him apparently walking out? I don't know the reasons. I'm glad you asked that question because I have no bias. I don't know why, and I don't know what was going on, but I know this. CM Punk is a very talented man, and I'm a big fan of his. He's got a lot of great talent to share with the fans all over the world for a number of years. When you have one regime and something is going wrong, you have no other choice but to fall back and catch your breath and see where am I standing and where are they standing and where are we going. Back in the day, when you're going 330 days a year, it's hard to have that much sense. I think that for one, CM Punk has a whole lot more great stuff to come out and I believe that the WWE will want that. They've put a lot of money into him, and they need to get over whatever their problem is. Sometimes going It seems like between WWE Network and Wrestlemania, you really want to get back out there with them, but is there some pushback from them? What's going on there?

It seems like between WWE Network and Wrestlemania, you really want to get back out there with them, but is there some pushback from them? What's going on there? Yeah, I think there is some pushback. Why? Without putting words in anybody's mouth, I think that Roddy has a reputation for being a rebel. I don't think that's a big secret. Not just to be a jerk, but to be a rebel, but at the time I was feuding with Mr. T, and I had young children to feed. I had to do what I had to do. I still think there's some resentment on some people's part with that. Nothing I can do about that. If you want me, I'll be more than happy to come and do that. If you don't want me, I'll do it on someone else's network and make them the money. It's a strange one. It's one I need you guys to figure out, because I'm tired of fighting with them.

When you say you'd do something on another network, are you talking about TNA, or do you mean something outside of wrestling? I've had talks about another wrestling organization. Quite a few people also want to do a reality show with me. So, with the WWE Network, it's such an obvious fit, it's so obvious, that not to do it would be a sign to me that they're not interested, for whatever reason, in doing business with me. Wouldn't you agree?

Hard to disagree, and is that why you want to get involved with Wrestlemania so much? For them to show that there is some interest in doing business? Yeah, I think that if they choose not to have me come out with Hogan ... I'm not looking to get applause, I'm way past that in my career, though I'm very grateful for it. I think this one, in all sincerity, is us thanking you. I don't care if it's us two guys coming out and just thanking you, which they won't do. Hogan and Piper looking at each other in the ring 30 years later, and you have two or three generations of dads and sons or daughters, that's something they'll remember for the rest of their lives. If you're the WWE, why would you not want to exploit that and give them that treatment? If I don't do anything ... well then probably you won't see me again. That's my guess. Never say never but I think I'd go elsewhere, or maybe go do movies, be a dad, hang it up.

You would just hang it up, or just not work with the WWE anymore? If they don't use me, then I don't know what the message is, but it would tell me that I'm not welcome. And I don't go any place that I'm not welcome. So I'm not sure what I'd do, but it's hard to see me coming back if they don't want me.

A possible role at WrestleMania XXX: "I wrote a quick note to the WWE saying if you don’t give the fans, what they deserve, the two guys that started it, just let them walk out, you know as more to thank them. I’m not there to have people cheer for me, I’ve had my share of that and I’m very grateful. But to have Hogan in the ring and not hit the bagpipes, the fans would never forget it. Not to give them that, to give them that to remember for the rest of their lives as would we, being Hogan and myself, who I’ve not talked to, I think would be a mistake. This is 30 years, we started with a thing called War to Settle The Score. The promoter put his house and everything up on a tag team match called WrestleMania, no number. I was definitely the dark horse in the race. 30 years later I think that we should say hello, but I don’t think the WWE’s with me, I don’t know what they wanna do. But it’ll tell me, if I don’t come out it’ll probably be the last time."

Pitching an idea to WWE to work with Drew McIntyre: "I think that the organization thinks that I will breed rebel into these kids, and that’s not true. It’s just what I had to do to survive for my family. That’s the only reason, I can’t figure out another one. The kid Drew himself went to them, I went to them, they ended up taking the kilt off of him and making him some kind of a, I’m not sure what he is. He’s a great kid though."
