    Statement regarding Roddy Piper

    "Since March 31, 2003, World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. (“WWE”) and Roderick Toombs, p/k/a “Roddy Piper”, have attempted to negotiate the terms of an arrangement for Roddy to appear on WWE programming through August of this year. The parties have been unable to reach a mutually acceptable agreement.
    On Tuesday, June 24, Piper appeared on an HBO program and revealed disturbing facts about his own personal drug use. Piper stated that he used drugs for many years while working in professional wrestling and that he does not like the person that he becomes when he actively performs as a professional wrestler.

    In view of WWE’s inability to reach agreement on a contract and to assist Piper from engaging in any self destructive behavior, the WWE is ending any further discussion with Piper regarding a contract.

    The WWE sincerely hopes for Piper and his family that Roddy can find happiness. "

    seeing that mcmahon knew first hand about pipers use of recreational and performance enhancing drugs due to the tiral (as if he didnt know anyway) and piper discusses this in his auto (one of the best wrestling bios of all time - imo) one must look at this statement and laugh - typical wwe attempt at burying a former employee and trying to lower their stock - the sad thing is that they have no real competition now so they dont need to pull this kind of bs

    They need to get some new faces and stop bringing back the old ones, most of them can't cut it anymore.
