all pro wrestling fans know, the WWE (former World

of these talk show segments are still part of regular
WWE programing.

Former
segments:
Piper's
Pit - "Rowdy" Roddy Piper (the most famous
wrestling talk show segment by far)
The
Body shop - Jesse "The Body" Ventura

Flower Shop - "Adorable" Adrian Adonis
The
Snake Pit - Jake "The Snake" Roberts
The
Funeral Parlor - Paul Bearer and The Undertaker
Tuesday
Night Titan's - Vince McMahon
A
Flair For The Gold - With Ric Flair of course. Was
this the only TV talk show style series that ever
appeared on WCW? That was probally a good thing, even
though Flair rules. Woooooo!
Buddy's
Corner - "The Nature Boy" Buddy Rogers.
The story goes that this only lasted a few shows but
it was very classy and well done.

"Rowdy" Roddy Piper - The Rod Pod
www.rowdyroddypiper.com/category/rod-pod
Last
year there was a lot of internet chatter about a reality
TV show, 'Legends House', that featured the likes
of Roddy Piper, Jim Duggan, Gene Okerlund, Hillbilly
Jim, Howard Finkel, Jimmy Hart, Pat Patterson and
Tony Atlas. Many got the impression that this show
will (one day) be broadcast on the WWE Network.
