11 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Rowdy Roddy Piper

6. Piper And Kevin Nash Fight For Real

In 1997, Roddy Piper was working for WCW. He had been tagging with Ric Flair against Scott Hall and Kevin Nash, in a match that ended up being a complete mess. Supposedly Nash ended up injuring his knee due to Piper's incompetence. Backstage, things kicked off. Nash boldly walked up to Piper and slapped (or punched) him in the face. A mini brawl then ensued, before the two were separated. As one of the most powerful wrestlers in the world, Nash went unpunished. Even though it was WCW, WWE hate stories like this getting out, because Nash and Piper are both legends which they market. But the animosity was real, and still brewing even last year with Piper claiming he had got the better of the fight. That caused a little war of words with Nash and X Pac slamming Piper on Twitter.
