WWe to Roddy Piper: Get the F Out

Didn't take too long to the shit to hit the fan after "Real Sports'" drugs-in-wrestling special.

From wwe.com:

Statement regarding Roddy Piper

Since March 31, 2003, World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. (“WWE”) and Roderick Toombs, p/k/a “Roddy Piper”, have attempted to negotiate the terms of an arrangement for Roddy to appear on WWE programming through August of this year. The parties have been unable to reach a mutually acceptable agreement.
On Tuesday, June 24, Piper appeared on an HBO program and revealed disturbing facts about his own personal drug use. Piper stated that he used drugs for many years while working in professional wrestling and that he does not like the person that he becomes when he actively performs as a professional wrestler.

In view of WWE’s inability to reach agreement on a contract and to assist Piper from engaging in any self destructive behavior, the WWE is ending any further discussion with Piper regarding a contract.

The WWE sincerely hopes for Piper and his family that Roddy can find happiness.

Did you see him wrestle tonight? Not really much of a loss if you ask me.

I hear what you're saying. I was just joking about his diminished wrestling abilities.

I think it sucks that he's gone this quick. I've always been a fan of Hot Rod.

Wow, it almost sounds like they actually believe it.

Talk about keeping your head in the sand...

Holy fuck! that was fast.

You hadda know this was coming after the HBO thing.

What I'm shocked at the most is if someone has some issues, i.e. Jeff Hardy, the WWE usually sweeps it under the rug.

This was... jeez. I was surprised how open the WWE was about this.

Oh yeah, Steph has big fake cans.
