"In case you weren't listening to NYC radio station Q-104 this morning, Rowdy Roddy Piper was a surprise guest. Literally a surprise: apparently, morning host Jim Kerr was grabbing some fresh air on Sixth Avenue, saw Hot Rod walking past (in his kilt!), and dragged him up to the broadcast booth for an impromptu visit. Piper was on-air for maybe ten minutes total. He mentioned he'd been at a basketball game the night before with Samuel L. Jackson ("First time I've been in Madison Square Garden and a three hundred pound man WASN'T trying to take my head off"), discussed his one-man show in Vegas and a new TV show deal with Britain's ITV1, why he started wearing his kilt (due to his bagpipe-playing teen years), his first pro-wrestling match with Larry Hennig ("I made $25 -- Canadian!"), his longtime friendship with Sgt. Slaughter, and how proud he was that his eldest daughter had been accepted to an exclusive performing arts school. Kerr brought up Piper's Portland, Oregon auto-repair shop (Piper's Pit Stop), and Roddy seemed amazed he'd even heard about it."

 

Anyone know anything about the TV deal? Sounds bizarre!!!!!!

Maybe it'll be a chat show like Jerry Springer.

 

How cool would that be, Piper's Pit returns.

Yeah that would be cool, but I can see it being very late night as Piper would not be that well known over here. Piper's Pit indeed!
Well ITV were planning on making some sort of celebrity wrestling reality type show, maybe Piper will be involved with this.

Eastenders is on BBC,

 

but there is some info on this website regarding the celebrity wrestling show;

 

http://www.tickets.granadamedia.com/sf/tickets/whatson.asp

and will feature big name celebrities playing a series of wrestling games.

They should try the WWF Video Board Game

Ooooh I would love to see Jim Davidson getting the absolute crap beaten out of him by New Jack. Oh I hate Davidson.
sounds bad... proper celebs have no time for something like that only B-listers and failed pop stars.. plus its games oso they are obviously going to be showing how things are done which probably will damage Wrestlings respect alot and aslo the stars in wrestling are like proper celebs they are working so it will again be old timers, has beens or never weres

Actually, if done right, it'll do UK wrestling a HELL of a lot of favours. Mainstream exposure every week with strong workers like Just Joe from Heat fame. I'll be optimistic for once.

It was featured once on Wrestlecrap. That answer the question? :P

No doubt it will involve Jake, Hacksaw and the Bushwackers, leaving a foul stench on wrestling that will never be removed. HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
i liked the bushwackers.. back in primary school that is
Nah. Jake is in the nick I'd imagine by now. Joe E Legend is signed up, and they're talking to All-Star Wrestling I believe.
Only time will tell on that one. But on the flip side it may be nice to have a wrestling talk show.
Wheres Elstree Studios? I wanna go. DraVen, is it a trainable journey from walsall?
Surrey I believe

hmmm its being filmed in Elstree, 20 mins away from me so I might just pop down to watch it!

 

Edit - Elstree is Hertfordshire / Middlesex border. North of London, 5 mins for a1(m) and 10 mins from m25
