    Bit of a ridiculous schedule for someone that old. Glad the Dublin show is first as he may not have a voice at the end of the tour.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,206 ✭✭✭✭B.A._Baracus


    I'm sure the Pat Patterson question will be asked at each venue. Which you have to laugh at the timing. Piper comes out with it just shortly before his tour.

    Almost think it was planned (cough) wouldnt you :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 669 ✭✭✭IanMc666


    Will definitely try head to that Dublin date, be interesting to hear what he has to say.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,753 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    Ill shall be attending the dublin date. Should be worth a listen

    In a trailer for a shoot interview he suggested he had to have sex with Patterson when he joined WWF in 1984 and was traumatised because of it.

    Don't know if it is true and haven't bothered looking into it.

    Kevin Nash called him out on Twitter the other week late at night and they had a disagreement about a backstage fight they did or didn't have but Piper seems to have a poor memory as everyone else took Nash's side. Q&As with someone who has a poor/selective memory seems like a waste of money to me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,143 ✭✭✭ciano316


    Out of all the wrestlers I've met Piper is my favorite. I'll defo be going to this.. He is a gent.

    oh man I'd love to go to this. Might go to the Cork one. Piper is great

    This intrigues me. If it's like the Foley disaster I'd be gutted to pass it up!

    Mick played here in 2012 and was greeted with a few hecklers and things turned pretty awkward pretty fast. Absolute gent to meet though!

    He had a horrible stand-up where he couldn't deal with some drunken (positive) hecklers. He said "when they ask me about the tour I'll say it's great, except for Dublin" before cursing himself off-stage! It was horrible. If you wanna hear more, I chat about it here.


  • Registered Users Posts: 732 ✭✭✭Reebrock


    It's a sad state of affairs that I wouldn't travel into my own city to see Piper speak in 2014. I'd give a nut for this back in 1992.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,986 ✭✭✭ShagNastii


    The Village is a great spot to have it. Will definitely make this. I've missed so many wrestling events(Foley, leggo's parties) of late due to work commitments.

    What price are tix?


  • Registered Users Posts: 346 ✭✭HooohRaaah

    Jesus man, 240 shots? You must have been snapping non stop. They're good but 90% are all the exact same thing.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 502 ✭✭✭sirmanga


    Yeah he took the tour of the crystal factory. Guess he went from there straight to Cork.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 502 ✭✭✭sirmanga


    Waterford crystal factory I mean of course.

    I was at the Dublin gig and I had a meet and greet with Roddy. He was a complete Gentleman and Legend. He answered a couple of questions I had for him and signed my limited senitype from Wrestlemania 3 and for the posed photo I asked would it be ok for him to put me in the sleeper for it and he smiled and said of course.

    Now I am 6'3 legit and started to bend down for a posed photo he wispered im my ear it's ok stand up and prepare he then kneed me in the back and I fell right back into him and put the sleeper on with a nice bit of force I semi sold it lol for the photo :) But someone later on and fair play fulled sold it.

    I asked could I look at his HoF ring and he let me try it on it was smaller than I thought it would but still very nice. I was kind of shaking from nerves as Roddy was the reason I fell in love with wrestling way back in the early 80's.

    Honestly they say never meet your heroes but Roddy Roddy Piper was everthing and more I could of hoped he would be!

    He started off telling a story about how he got involved in wrestling at the age of 15 and living in YMCA's in Canada to learning the bagpipes and his first match with Larry the Ax.

    He then went on to tell his first road story traveling with Mad Dog Vachon.

    It was an amazing evening all told.

    The one pain in the ass for most people there was about three lads trying to get themselves over interrupting Roddy mid sentence and distracting him instead of just listening to him tell his stories.

    Those kind of dicks make it embarrassing to be a wrestling fan at times...
    Mad I missed it though, sounds like it was class
