WWE cancels "Rowdy" Roddy Piper's Legends contract, result of issues with Steve Austin?
WWE Hall of Famer “Rowdy” Roddy Piper no longer has a Legends Contract with the company. His good friend Ric Flair revealed the news on his Woooo Nation podcast. This follows the story from earlier this week where it appeared that Piper felt like Steve Austin had something to do with the Rowdy one no longer being a part of Podcast One. There was speculation that Austin was mad that Piper’s guest Will Sasso did an Austin imitation that put him in a bad light for not appearing at WrestleMania 31.
Austin said earlier this week that he’s 50 years old and has no time for “soap opera” stuff. He went on to say that he had nothing to do with it and that Piper simply wanted out of his contract. Austin said he contacted the President at Podcast One and was told that Piper asked for a meeting with them, then telling the company that he no longer wanted to do a podcast for them. However “The Texas Rattlesnake” was under the impression that Piper can return to Podcast One if he wants to. Austin added that there is no beef towards Piper. Piper on his part, plans to address the situation on his next podcast. He tweeted:
“This will be cleared up and gone after my next Podcast! I heard what Steve said! Respect! My Honor’s not for sale!”
