BOB ORTON DISCUSSES RODDY PIPER'S PASSING, FINAL PIPER'S PIT TO BE POSTED ONLINE TOMORROW AND MORE

Maryland Championship Wrestling, who had Roddy Piper at the Shane Shamrock Memorial Cup two weeks ago in Joppa, MD, announced they will release his Piper's Pit segment, which I believe to be his final ever Pit, tomorrow on Youtube for free.

Angelo DiCarlo sent the following....Saturday was the annual independent wrestling show "Clash at the Cove" in South Bend, Indiana. Cowboy Bob Orton was among the wrestlers in attendance. There was a 10-bell salute, moment of silence and video to remember Roddy Piper before the event. I spoke with Orton about hearing the news of Roddy's passing, his memories of traveling the road with Piper and just how big Piper was in the 80's. You can watch my story on WNDU's website at this link.

We received quite a few emails asking whether Piper ever did any shoot interviews on DVD or books. He did release an autobiography about a decade ago and I know he and Ric Flair did a shoot DVD together for highspots.com. I would guess you can track the book down there as well.
