Piper lives in my hometown, although I have never seen him. He used to own a auto repair shop called Pipers Pit Stop. The shop is still around but I don't think he owns it anymore. I believe he also recently battled cancer, so it's understandable if he no longer looks jacked.
Does Pipes still live in/near Aloha?
You’re right, he did just recently deal with cancer.
The auto shop was one bit of Piper trivia I did not know.
I hope you get to meet him one day.
I’ve met and worked with several guys from that generation at independent shows, but have never had the fortune of meeting Piper.
My buddy worked a brief stint in WWF around 2005. Met Pipes at the HOF ceremony. Had some interesting things to say about him.
I’ve also heard from a few other people from the Oregon area who would regularly see guys like Roddy, Playboy Buddy Rose, etc. “training” at the local gym.
Two of Rod’s kids are beginning to make names for themselves now.
The
(I believe) middle daughter – a very pretty girl – is into acting, modeling, and one or two other things, while the son is training in MMA.
I just hope they don’t end up like the Hogan’s!
