IN THE PIT WITH PIPER: Roddy Gets Rowdy

Release Date: November 2002 / Authors: Roddy Piper and Robert Picarello / Publisher: Berkley Trade

DESCRIPTION

Here, in his own words, is the story of one of the greatest wrestlers ever-Rowdy Roddy Piper.  The bagpipe-playing legend gets down and dirty about the world of professional wrestling-and his own career.  He takes readers back to his life as a teenage runaway and his first match, when he stepped into the ring for $25.  He recalls his triumph as the youngest World Light Heavyweight Champion, and how he helped make the World Wrestling Federation the phenomenon it is today with little more than a microphone stand and a bow tie.  From a man who joined the game long before it emerged as big-time entertainment comes a story that tells it like it is-and that's filled with as much excitement as the jam-packed arenas where he fought his fiercest foes.

REVIEW

Mick N. Brawler: Didn’t live up to my expectations.  As much as I enjoyed Piper’s work, I thought this could have been world’s better than it came out.  Recommended to Piper marks only.
