I have been enthralled by wrestling for 25 years. I’m talking WWE-style. That’s a significant portion of my 31 years on the planet. I grew up with Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, and King Kong Bundy. I ordered every Pay-Per-View event. I went to see the shows live at the Civic Arena in Pittsburgh with my dad. I owned the action figures. I was a Hulkamaniac. To this day, I still respect the success of WWF/WWE – fake, not fake – whatever you think.
One of the great personalities in wrestling history is Rowdy Roddy Piper. This week I found out he is performing at the Hollywood Improv. Comedy and Wrestling? Are you kidding me? Only Comedy and Porn beats that. I had the great pleasure of talking with “Hot Rod” for the podcast today. I can’t remember being this excited to talk to someone. Piper’s Pit, the Bag Pipes, Wrestlemania I!!! Awesome! Hope you enjoy!

hey Brendon,
Nice interview man. Your sincerity really shows here. Was a WWf fan myself, growing up in Ny. I went to several events in the mid-80’s, and although I have little interest in it now, the memories are still worth remembering. An interview like this helps shed some perspective on the personalities involved in the business and reminds me of a time that was filled with youthful excitement, and I thank you for sharing that interview here.
