Roddy Piper: "CM Punk is fantastic"

Mr. Fantastic

In a recent interview, former WWE Superstar “Rowdy Roddy Piper,” discussed his relationship with Bret Hart and about his Wrestlemania 8 loss to Bret. Roddy Piper is co-starring in a new TV pilot alongside Bret.

Piper’s son, Colt has been trying to get into the wrestling business and Piper commented:

“I think that CM Punk is fantastic,” Piper admitted. “He’s overcome a lot of odds and he’s right there in the mainstream, I’m really proud of him. I think that it might have been even a bit harder for CM Punk, because I wasn’t playing under any rules. He’s had to overcome the system, to a certain amount.

“Every once in awhile, he’ll text me, like ‘Happy New Year.’ Or when he was hurt, I said, ‘how ya doin’ kid?’ He texted me back, ‘thanks for the class.’ I think he’s a great kid.”
