In 1989, Roddy Piper did a workout with the Grappler/Nord the Barbarian after the matches. At that event, they sold this poster. Roddy stayed and signed for hours. He was chatting with everyone. When I got to the front of the line, he asked me if it was my first time at the Sports Arena. I told him I go every Saturday night and he said that the wrestlers really appreciated my support. That kind of changed the way I thought about being a fan.
He also asked me who my favorite wrestler was. I said "Steve Doll", which made him laugh out loud. He said that I was the first person all night to not say him. I shrugged and said, "I like Steve Doll." He said, "That's okay. I like Steve Doll, too."
I sold this years ago when I needed some cash. I regret it.
