- WWE Hall of Famer “Rowdy” Roddy Piper http://www.wrestling-edge.com/wwe-n...-piper-not-expected-to-live-much-longer.html#was recently forced to pull out of a number of previously scheduled appearances as a result of a serious illness. In a sad update on the situation, it’s confirmed that his cancer has returned. However, this time it’s believed to be terminal as he’s not expected to live much longer.
According to a well-placed source within World Wrestling Entertainment, Vince has informed creative to prepare to scrap a segment or two for next week’s Raw as he is planning on running a few video tributes honoring the wrestling legend — just in case.
Piper, 55, was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in November 2006 after doctors found a cancerous tumor on a disc in his spine. Back discomfort had forced Piper to leave WWE’s tour of Europe and return to North America in order to undergo surgery. In the weeks that followed, Piper spent the majority of his time in a local hospital, undergoing extensive radiation treatmenthttp://www.wrestling-edge.com/wwe-n...-piper-not-expected-to-live-much-longer.html# in hopes of vanquishing the cancer that had invaded his body. While the cancer would eventually disappear, as noted, it recently returned.
Booker T is not expected to remain with TNA once his contract expires (rumored to be in November). He refused to put over Matt Morgan at the TNA Impact taping in Orlando on Tuesday, and the feeling of multiple sources is that this was simply the straw that broke the camel's back when it comes to his strained relationship with TNA management.
Booker made it clear to wrestlers during last week's overseas tour and in the locker room again on Tuesday that he has WWE options and intends to return there once he's contractually able to do so. Although nothing is official regarding his future in TNA, multiple sources predict that his days with the company are numbered. The buzz in the locker room on Tuesday was that Booker will appear at Bound For Glory, drop the tag titles with Scott Steiner at that show or the following tapings, and will not be booked again by the company.
There have been stories regarding Booker's negative attitude in the locker room for months. He voiced his displeasure on an overseas tour bus when he first received word about the plan for him to lose the match to match to Morgan. There was no indication of a personal conflict between Booker and Morgan, as Booker stated that he felt it was a mistake for him to lose the match on television rather than pay-per-view.
Booker cooled down over the weekend and all indications were that he would put over Morgan as planned on Tuesday. However, he refused to follow through with the match plan when push came to shove. He didn't tell company officials about his decision until roughly 45 minutes before the taping, which made for difficult rewrites. He ultimately appeared on the show, but did not wrestle Morgan as originally planned.
Powell's POV: Booker had major heat behind the scenes leading up to his latest meltdown. He is widely regarded as a cancer in the locker room, and one source noted that Booker had a lengthy discussion with Dixie Carter on Monday, only to turn around and refuse to put over Morgan on Tuesday. The feeling within the company is that Carter can send a positive message to the locker room by severing ties with Booker.
Booker was described as disruptive throughout the overseas tour. He refused to work a main event match in Switzerland after the fans threw chairs in response to Steiner ripping the Swiss flag. The feeling of multiple wrestlers was that while they could understand Booker removing his wife Sharmell from that environment, he could have come back and worked the match after the situation calmed down. Instead, Sheik Abdul Bashir worked the match in Booker's place.
The excuse Booker used for not putting over Morgan is similar to the reason Steve Austin used for not putting over Brock Lesnar in an unadvertised Raw match several years ago. The obvious differences are that Booker is not on par with Austin, and TNA wasn't throwing away a big money match like WWE creative would have had Austin not walked out.
Rumors floating around today regarding the health of Roddy Piper appear to be unfounded and while Piper has taken time off from all appearances due to doctor's orders, he is expected to start back on an appearence schedule at the end of the month.
According to Piper's agent, Noelle Kim, who talked with him yesterday, he is doing well. She said after the filming of a recent movie, he was told by doctors that he needed to take a break from acting and personal appearances and is taking the break.
"He does not have cancer," she said. "He's been going at it without a break since he was a teenager and the doctors told him that he needed a rest."
Piper suffered from Hodgkin's Lymphoma, diagnosed in 2006 after he was in great pain while wrestling on a WWE tour of Europe. He had beaten the cancer and had been doing acting gigs and personal appearances, and was traveling virtually every week until pulling out of his recent bookings.

I'd love to see him back with WWE, although I think this could be a WWE tactic to weaken the Hulkamania tour. If that's the case, I'd expect them to bring back Kennedy as well - he's certainly a bigger name than Umaga.Umaga had a shoot interview scheduled for this week that he canceled as he said he may be going back to WWE.
Chavo Guerrero apologized for his recent Twitter outbursts saying, “If I offended anyone last night, sorry. Had a few too many last night.” I understand about that, because I get like that late at night after having a few too many video games.
Here’s where Tatsu got his name. His real name is Naofumi Yamamoto, and his father’s name is Yoshitatsu Yamamoto, so he took his father’s first name.
