Piper vs WWE:

Over a year of tension between WWE Hall Of Famer Rowdy Roddy Piper and WWE only ended abut 6 weeks ago, because the promotion want him to be a part of WrestleMania 30 in some shape or form. The problems started after the taping of Legends House. WWE asked all the competitors on the reality show to sign a no appearance deal for any other wrestling or MMA promotion until, for the duration of, and for a few weeks after the run of the show. Piper refused because of the damage he felt that could do to his Son Colt's career, he was just starting out at MMA, and has since started wrestling too. Piper wanted to use his name and profile to help further Colt's career as much as possible, and obviously couldn't do that from home.

It turned out to be a good decision, because the show has been sitting on a shelf for almost 2 years, and will only now be aired, due to the long delayed Network launch finally coming.

"Oh that's simple. We're all in there together. Nothing changes for us. It's business as usual. We're gonna eliminate everybody and we're going to do it with the most efficient teamwork possible. And then once we get to where it's us three we're gonna have to figure that out then. The gloves may come off or maybe we'll make a stand. Maybe we'll do something no one's ever done before. We walk out of that sucker; who knows? That's gonna have to be up to everybody to tune in and pay attention. Cause we're gonna put on a good show."
