Sean Waltman Gives His Take On The Roddy Piper - Kevin Nash Backstage Incident In WCW
As noted earlier, Kevin Nash blasted "Rowdy" Roddy Piper on Twitter last night, calling him a "deranged old fool" that he "b-tch slapped to the floor" when they were in WCW. He then told Piper that he would appear on his podcast and will wait for his response.
Nash was responding to Piper's recent comments on his podcast, where he talked about "getting into it" with Nash in WCW. Piper said that Nash "lies," and told a story about working a tag match with Nash on the other team. Piper said that Nash's group was trying to run "rough shot," and said that they felt that they knew the business better than the establishment running the company. Piper admitted that they had a horrible match, and said that Nash didn't know how to work, although he may be a "good basketball player... maybe."
Piper talked about being pissed off in the dressing room after the match, and said that Ric Flair and Eric Bischoff were in the room. Piper said that Nash barged in and yelled, "You think you're running things around here?!!" Piper said that he then charged at Nash, leg dived him and then threw him out of his dressing room.
Sean Waltman, who was in the room when the incident happened, took to his Twitter to tell his side of the story. He noted that he loved Roddy but "on the life of his children," Roddy was "bold faced lying." He wrote:
"On the life of my children Roddy is bold face lying & I hate to say that,because I love Roddy. you [Nash] kicked the door in and everyone s–t. Flair was more concerned about it not having to do with him.
"the Bodyguad tried to get between you. You said something to him and he stepped aside. Then you proceeded to open hand slap Roddy, because he was out of place and went into business for himself, causing you to re injure your knee. I remember one second you were in the locker room pissed. V-sit Wrestling Inc-The next sec me causing you to re injure your knee in all that cluster F–k. I'll give him credit for a nice leg sweep that came up a it short. He called you a liar over your description of the incident. No one wanted a piece.
"way to back up your wing man Naitch;) there were only 3 of us. We were outnumbered if you count the bodyguard. I just heard the podcast and it was an out and out lie. Can't believe from Roddy. Hopefully it's a memory issue and not pride. I know Kev's hot still, but let it go Big D. He knows what happened and that's the real of it.
"...And Kev let that go yrs ago. Brought Roddy and his son to our tour of Aruba. We had a great time. Whatever need Roddy has to perpetuate his image as one though SOB is not going to be tarnished by that incident. Your still Rough Roddy."
