Rowdy Roddy Piper Profile
by Dan on 12 October 2004
Without a doubt, Roddy Piper was one of the biggest wrestling stars of the 1980’s, and well into the 1990’s. He was a pioneering force in the WWF’s “Rock ‘n’ Wrestling” connection, and along with Hulk Hogan was a key factor in the success of the inaugural Wrestlemania, and in the successful years the WWF experienced during the 80’s. As a “heel” Piper was detested by the fans, as a “face”, the fans loved Piper, and with his now legendary interview segments “Piper’s Pit“, he proved that he was one of the greatest characters of all time in the wrestling business...

| THWD: The case for a WWE off-season By Tink Holloway on 3 May 2008 |
| My goodness, how long ago does Wrestlemania seem already!? Despite the WWE’s attempts to link everything they could at Backlash with WM24, the night felt far detached from the bright lights of the Citrus Bowl. It’s a shame that there is so little time to take in what happened at the biggest event of the [...] |
| THWD: MMA and Wrestling? By Tink Holloway on 25 April 2008 |
| I’d like to make a survey asking fans of professional wrestling why it is that they watch it. I wonder how many of them would answer because it’s a form of combat? I only wonder about this because over the last 3 or 4 years I’ve become increasingly perplexed at the close proximity of sports-entertainment [...] |
| THWD: UK - The WWE?s nice little earner By Tink Holloway on 18 April 2008 |
| Ever since I was very young and watched my first WWE (F as it was at the time) pay-per-view, Royal Rumble 1994, I had always wanted to see it live. The way Vince McMahon would assure everybody that the arena had gone cold when The Undertaker came out and the fan reaction to Bret Hart?s [...] |
| KR: The Road to WrestleMania By Robert Heard on 29 March 2008 |
| Right, well it is well known that I am a Puro writer and have never written on the subject of American Wrestling. But a Puro blog on the eve of WrestleMania seems wrong, not in the least because WrestleMania is not a Japanese event at all?HustleMania is but then the less said about that the [...] |
| KR: The BIG Statement with a BIG Show By Robert Heard on 29 March 2008 |
| So WrestleMania, the biggest event on the calendar for wrestling fans will be a huge event. It will be the second ever to be held completely outdoors. It is reported it will pump twenty five million into the local economy and bring 60,000 people to Orlando as well.
