Rob Feinstein is selling art prints of Piper with fake signatures. He bought them at the weekend, signed them himself, and is trying to sell them on Facebook. Hard to do WM1 without showing Hogan though. I skimmed through an article where he claims that isn't true. And either X-Pac is baking his story or he's claiming that X-Pac can back his story. I kinda tune out when Rob Feinstein is involved in anything. Why does this guy get to do whatever he wants? How had he not been blackballed from the industry? the wrestling business unfortunately has always been a pretty safe haven for creeps. maybe this controversy can change that. it's too bad austin/piper had some heat at the end.

Not sure if anyone else has compared pictures, but the signatures on those look off to me for what it's worth. I had Piper sign a picture for me in Orlando a couple years ago and it's noticeably different on the "R"s and the "P" to start his name. Each autograph is always going to be a little different by default but most of them have a similar pattern. I don't know, maybe these were just rushed if he was doing a bunch of them in a row but it seems kind of sketchy with the timing and what not.

One thing that always made me love Piper... when he wasn't in character, he always had a big smile on his face. The man just seemed so happy in life. I'm gonna miss that.

I'll definitely be getting it. Hopefully it'll be released in-stores along with the other Topix Media Lab WWE Magazine specials.

Haven't had the time to read through it yet, but the cover is just awesome. I picked it up today at Wal-Mart, but I think it's pretty pathetic they don't mention Hulk Hogan AT ALL in the entire magazine. How the hell can you talk about Roddy Piper without mentioning his number one rival? Because Hulk sad a bad word? Way to make your magazine lame as hell, spineless WWE bastards.

Wal-Mart has them. I picked mine up a few hours ago. I was hoping for more early pictures & stories from his Portland & Mid-Atlantic days. Still a nice piece. I hope some of the proceeds go to Piper's family.

Just picked up the "Rowdy" Roddy Piper tribute magazine at Walmart - I snagged the last copy - I'm very impressed. In 2015, quality WWE stuff is a little more rare - this magazine is quality. Excellent rare photos, great snippets & quotes from various superstars, just an amazing walk down memory lane..... got me all sad about Roddy once again! When I met Roddy for the first time in August 2014 - I spoke with him briefly about the time Bobby Heenan dressed up as Santa Claus & Piper beat the living crap out of him.... I told Piper it was one of my favorite early memories of being a young wrestling fan. Well, there's a great photo in this magazine of..... guess what..... Piper beating the crap out of Bobby Heenan dressed as Santa! So wonderful that they put this in the tribute magazine.... I want to pick up an extra copy for my son, we met Piper twice in his final months.... once to get this photo, & once to get it signed.... Argh, it sucks getting older & losing people like this....

Just finished up a small tribute to Piper that I've been working on.... man, this one still hits me pretty hard.
This is clipped together with various photos I took from two of his final appearances - at Lancaster Championship Wrestling in May, and Maryland Championship Wrestling in July..... I "borrowed" a few of their YouTube clips to make it more interesting..... the photos were mostly taken by me (except for the ones that I'm in, and a few "fan" photos I borrowed, again to pepper some different stuff in there.
Of course, the WWE clips were borrowed from the WWE Network....
Hope you guys enjoy this..... this was truly a labor of love, I'm still shocked that Piper's gone....
