Rowdy Roddy Piper is still causing controversy after all these years. The WWE Hall of Famer has accused Stone Cold Steve Austin of getting him removed from PodcastOne after Austin apparently took offence to one of Piper's podcasts. According to Piper, Austin was displeased with the content of Piper's episode with Will Sasso, who impersonated The Texas Rattlesnake. Piper asked 'Austin' a series of questions, some of which Stone Cold felt were too personal to air. Austin called the president of PodcastOne and asked that the episode be removed from circulation. This was back in April. Both Piper and Austin have been regularly podcasting since then. However, Piper on Monday claimed that Austin was responsible for getting him fired from his position. On the July 7th episode The Steve Austin Show, Austin replied to the allegations, calling them false and stating that Piper had actually requested that he leave the station of his own volition. Austin added that he had respect for Piper, enjoyed his work in the wrestling business and would leave it at that. Austin finished by saying that what he was saying was absolutely, one hundred percent the truth. It's hard not to believe him because Austin is not knowing for lying about things whereas Piper's credibility has taken some hits recently. Piper caused a great deal of controversy in 2014 when a video was released in which Piper seemed to infer that Pat Patterson had molested him early in his career (although he never used those exact words). Piper then launched a tirade at those who had 'misinterpreted' the video on an episode of his podcast. For now, Austin will continue working with PodcastOne (along with WWE) to produce podcasts while Piper's will be hosted by other platforms.
