Arda Ocal of The Score Television Network and Layfield Report spoke with former WWE Superstar “Rowdy” Roddy Piper on the set of a new TV pilot that he is co-starring in. Piper discussed his relationship with Bret Hart and how he finally got vindication for his WrestleMania 8 loss to Bret on the set of this new show. He also gave his opinion on CM Punk’s recent title run being compared to Piper’s own heyday and having high praise for CM Punk.
“I think that CM Punk is fantastic,” Piper admitted. “He’s overcome a lot of odds and he’s right there in the mainstream, I’m really proud of him. I think that it might have been even a bit harder for CM Punk, because I wasn’t playing under any rules. He’s had to overcome the system, to a certain amount.
“Every once in awhile, he’ll text me, like ‘Happy New Year.’ Or when he was hurt, I said, ‘how ya doin’ kid?’ He texted me back, ‘thanks for the class.’ I think he’s a great kid.”
