It seems like a popular time to talk about on this website is the day one rowdy Scotsman entered the writers respective territory or promotion.  Something about the character, charisma and interview style of Mr. Piper makes that a very memorable time in professional wrestling.  It was no different when he entered the WWF around 1984. 

One week on All Star Wrestling (it may have actually been late 1983, or early 1984, I’m not really sure) Paul Orndorff was wrestling one of his usual squash matches, when who should come out of the dressing room, but a man they called “Rowdy” Roddy Piper.  He watched the match and rooted for Orndorff.  Later it was announced that Piper was the new manager of “Mr. Wonderful.”  That’s right, Piper start out in the WWF, not as a wrestler, nor as the host of his famed Piper’s Pit, but as a manager.  Soon after, Piper also appeared in the corner of “Dr. D” David Schultz (that’s right, the same guy who will forever be remembered for slugging a host of ABC’s 20/20).  When Piper was in the corner of his men, it was difficult to pay attention to the action.  He really stole the show, and brought your attention away from what was happening in the ring.  I remember he would walk around as a cocky, arrogant SOB when his guy was winning, but as soon as the opponent would make an offensive move, he would go nuts in loud tirades.
