|---|
"This is the story of pro wrestling legend "Rowdy" Roddy Piper. Roddy comes off bitter though he was a huge star. We get to learn about his start and his travels to all the territories from Roy Shires L.A. promotion, to his time in Canada with the Harts, to his time in the South and his famous dog collar match with Greg "The Hammer" Valentine. Piper also gives his side of the explosion of pro wrestling in the early 80's when Vince Mcmahon started buying out all the TV from the local promoters and the birth of Wrestlemania. Piper also goes into "the sickness", which he goes on to explain the overbearing life of being on the road and addiction to fame. "
