Piper was also a WCW World Heavyweight Champion, but I guess they felt like that didn't deserve a mention? Roddy Piper was never the WCW World Champion. I stand corrected. I was thinking his match with Hogan at Starrcade was for the title, but I'd forgot about that being a non-title match. I knew he'd won a title while in WCW, but apparently it was the US title.

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}So although it's been well known forever, was this Patterson's first time officially coming out (sorta ) publically during this episiode? I think they were just hinting at it for this episode and it's said in the finale so they can talk about it on the reunion show they are planning

If your heart wasn't breaking when Jimmy Hart revealed his daughter's death and how he coped with it to Tony Atlas then you've got a heart of stone.

Yes, Roddy won the U.S. Championship in WCW, though he had actually already been the U.S. Champion back when he was in Mid-Atlantic/NWA.

If fans didn't know about Patterson's urban legends and rumors, this episode will confuse the hell out of them. I know Pat is gay, but beyond that I had no idea what they were talking about. Obviously they were all a little drunk, but they made it sound like Pat had some hard decision to make...Mean Gene almost made it sound like he was dying or something. So yeah, I'm already confused.

I do think thoughts on their mortality and health were undertones of that scene and led to some of their heightened emotions.

Everyone knows, but IDK if Patterson actually ever came out and just flat out said "I'm Gay" in public before. That's what I think he was trying to do at the dinner table

I really enjoyed the roast. They should do more of that.

Man, you should've seen how quick Roddy ran out when he heard that there was a "New Coke," but boy was he disappointed when he found out it was a soda.

"I'm not saying Mene Gene is old, but if you consider his age, he's likely to die soon."

I like the show, although I thought it was a bit over-the-top ridiculous when they had Duggan moping over Piper's business trip.

I don't have the Network, but I am curious about what each guy had to talk about when they opened up.

I don't have the Network, but I am curious about what each guy had to talk about when they opened up. {Spoiler}Mean Gene - Wife gave him a kidney so he could live.
Pat Patterson - He came out and admitted he was gay.
Fink - Was bullied as a kid.
Piper - Has four kids, three grandchildren.
Hacksaw - Daughter (I think it was his daughter?) died in an accident.
Jimmy Hart - His daughter was killed.
Tony Atlas - Nearly froze to death while homeless in 1989. His wife found him and saved him.
Hillbilly Jim - Grew up with a single mom and one brother. Bought his mom a new car with his money.

Thanks. It is weird that Piper's opening up didn't reveal anything he had to cope with.

I actually think that it was a first wife he never mentioned before that story. Remember he said it was Vicky that got killed in the car accident. Man this episode is right in the feels and good on Pat.
