 Ri> I remember Nature Boy Ric Flair. Wooooo.

 Jesse Ventura used to have a podcast - he spoke about politics most of
 the time, but he had Roddy Piper on once - they spent 90 minutes
 reminiscing about spending their time on buses wrestling an ungodly
 number of times a year, life on the road, performing in high-school
 gynmasiums and cheesy venues, and pro wrestling just as it started
 getting big. Very interesting.

 Roddy Piper was in "They Live", and heand Jesse had a pilot about a
 couple of detectives in Hawaii, but it didn't get picked up. Piper
 lamented his life would haveturned out different if that had been
 successful - if not for what turned out to be mostly contract
 difficulties between the studio and Sony, if memory serves.

 It's definitely worth a listen if you could find it.

 Piper passed away not long after they recorded it.
