flyonthewall2983 Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 The way I see it, at least Piper is just talking and doing these Piper's Pit segments, rather than getting in the ring. Seeing him stumble against Jericho in 2009 was dreadful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chief Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Is there anybody who deteriorated younger and quicker than Piper? I can't watch him stumble through anything after 1992. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bierschwale Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 I doubt they can script Piper. He's...not all there, and while that's been clear for a long time, it's becoming more obvious. His mania is NOT confined to the ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmare007 Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 via wrestlinginc Source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter- Jerry Lawler said over the weekend at an indie show that he's just about straightened out all of the issues with the Memphis video tape library and is looking at selling it to WWE. Well I'll be damned. Any chance is the complete library or at least a big part of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyonthewall2983 Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 I heard on this very forum that the possibility of it being a complete collection is nil since they would tape over their own stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bix Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 They'll pretty much have to work something out with Jim Cornette to have something worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chief Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 They'll pretty much have to work something out with Jim Cornette to have something worthwhile. Corny played ball with them recently when they did the history of SMW piece for the website, here's hoping he can play nice here too. That would be quite the acquisition.

(BP) Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 He doesn't own the footage, but he recorded it on his own VCR going back to 79, and a lot of what's traded comes from his master tapes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Would be amusing if Lawler gets money for the rights to footage he doesn't actually HAVE. Even if he is the legal owner now. Ron Fuller should give them a call and see if they'll buy my terrible quality Continental DVDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyonthewall2983 Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Well at least what they'll pay him might cover what he had to pay for in VHS tapes to record it all. MIGHT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillThompson Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Hopefully it comes through, I know I'd be psyched for Memphis on the Network. Adding diverse content is something I believe they need to do, mixing up Mid-South, AWA, WCW, ECW, WWC, NXT, SMW, OVW (if they own that), Crockett, and whatever else they own in the live stream and vaults is the ebst way to keep the Network fresh for a longer period of time.

efrim Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Hm, did Piper have one of those "never the same again" injuries at some point, or did his health just generally deteriorate at a wild pace? I know his back was super jacked up by the time he did that 90's WCW run, but I don't recall if that stemmed from a particular incident or not.

flyonthewall2983 Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Whatever it was, may have been fallout from all the drugs he was on. The laundry list of stuff he said he had done when he did the infamous HBO interview is staggering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strummer Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 don't know if there is any truth to this but apparently Hunter and Stephanie have been pushing for Shane to return to the company for a few months now. Apparently he isn't supposed to have an on air role and will be just backstage at mania. I do smell an angle here though well cageside picked up on it http://www.cagesideseats.com/2014/4/2/5572602/rumor-roundup-april-2-2014-wrestlemania-30-shane-mcmahon-wwe-tv-deal-nxt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyonthewall2983 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 The one previous to that is the one they should have stuck too. That Simon Cowell-produced garbage was annoying even then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bierschwale Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 What'll be the day that it stops being amazing that they found an orphan track written and performed by a Jesus and Mary Chain touring member and let it become one of the best intro themes of all time?
