Another Piper one that may just be an urban legend was that supposedly he had a young male assistant in the early 2000s. Everyone called the guy “Cocksucker” as if that was his name.
I’ve never seen it verified outside of the rumor mill but I remember there was one show around that time where Piper was accompanied by a young lanky guy that never had a name attached to him. I think it may have been Piper’s TNA appearance where he shot on Russo.

Any stories about Hogan being a racist? Or Flair being a bad husband? Or Vince being a weirdo?

Someone asked Bret about it and he said as a Canadian with a different background, most everyone’s language was appalling in those days.

I think with Savage, a lot of the stories of him being unreasonable or eccentric in the 80s and 90s can be attributed to having severe untreated OCD during that time. Lanny Poffo's podcast mentioned that Savage was diagnosed with OCD, and getting to know the topic you realize how much of a struggle so much of his life was than any of us imagined.

Back in Georgia, Jake started sleeping with Dick Slater’s wife, once Dick confronted him in a bar, Jake cried and begged off so Slater wouldn’t kill him.

Not a bad story, just ridiculous, was Savage appearing on the Weird Al Show. He was gonna be on and they wanted Savage to lose an off screen fight to Harvey the Wonder Hamster. Savage was having none of that, he wasn't jobbing to hamster. Then they explained it was very funny, because you see, a hamster couldn't actually beat up a human. Savage seemed satisfied with that, but had one follow up question, "It's not a girl hamster, is it??!"

Jake has been known to ask random people if they want to see the Bat Cave, and if they say yes, he'll pull down his pants and bend over for them.
There is also a story about a promotion in Florida that Jake showed up to unexpectedly and did an impromptu 20 minute seminar with the green guys on the show before it started, while offering to do an angle in front of the crowd to set up a match on the next show if they wanted to book him. The promotion agreed. He did the angle. The next month comes, and he goes out to the gimmick table as soon as the fans are let in, to sell gimmicks and let everyone see that he was there. Then he goes up to the promoter and holds him up for more money than was agreed upon if he wants Jake to follow through and wrestle in the advertised match. "The fans already know I'm here, if I don't go out there and wrestle, you're finished as a promoter." He also said he "didn't know the show would be filmed," and wanted more money for that as well. The promoter pointed out the previous month's show and all of the cameras he was playing to and talking right into. "What did you think this red light blinking on the camera in your face meant?" His response was "I see red lights everywhere I go. Pay me." The promoter refused. Jake left. They explained to the crowd what happened. They didn't seem to mind. Colt Cabana filled in for Jake in the match, and when he hit a DDT, the place popped, and they went home happy.

Hasn't it been said many times that Piper was rasict? I know for sure Bad News Brown said it about Piper. I think Piper dropped the N-bomb in shoots.

It should obviously be taken with a pinch of salt, but Gorgeous George did a shoot interview last year alleging that Savage was a heavy drug user, and was controlling, had a fierce temper, and was emotionally and occasionally physically abusive. She claimed that he had hidden CCTV cameras around their house and kept tabs on her phone calls. Then again, she also claimed the rumours about him sleeping with Stephanie McMahon are true, so make of these stories what you will.

I never heard Piper say it in a shoot, but I have heard that about him before. Bad News said a lot of people were racist and this being wrestling and all a good chunk of them probably were.

I heard back in the 80s Piper beat up some dude in an alley in LA.
All because the guy didnt wanna put on his shades. Have no clue why Puper would do that. From what I heard he took like 5 knee shots to the groin for that one

Roddy Piper once shit in a paper bag then threw it in the corner of the locker room. Given the reputation of wrestlers and poop, this is pretty tame. It's damn near gentlemanly compared to others

During Jake’s religious phase, he got wasted and would piss on random cars.

Jake has been known to ask random people if they want to see the Bat Cave, and if they say yes, he'll pull down his pants and bend over for them. He doesn’t say Bat Cave. He says Snake Pit. He also spreads his cheeks when he bends over. I’ve seen him do this on one of those shoots from RF. Either On the Road or In the Ring or whatever it was called. Because of course RF would record that. A little piece of my childhood died when I saw that. Snake Pit. 🤦♂️
