Melzer didn't put this in his plug for the film in his 'daily update' yesterday, and if I were to show you his reply to my inquiry about it, yu'd shake your head at how ob;ivious he is in alot of ways, and/or just plain lazy when it comes to these things. So here's the press release on the Piper Film that Melzer and his F4/WON staff refused post. I'm beating them to the punch on this, which isn't really surprising.
New Roddy Piper Film ProductionA percentage of all sales
go to Doernbecher Children's Hospital
On 31st July 2015 the world lost one of the most recognizable and successful
wrestling personalities of all time, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper. A new film production
is now available to stream from Nine Legends director David Sinnott which
features never before seen footage of "The Hot Rod" titled: "Roddy Piper: In His
Own Words". Dig deep inside a forty year career which was spotlighted in the WWE
and WCW as well as the big screen, including the lead role in John Carpenter's
cult classic, "They Live".
David Sinnott: "This project meant a lot to me to put together. I have fond
memories of working with Piper on another project and it didn't sit well with me
that so much great footage was locked away in a vault. I recall his daughter was
present for the entirety of our film shoot and it was clearly evident that he
was a decent family man. It was important for me to connect with Roddy's wife,
Kitty Toombs, for input on this project."
Kitty Toombs: "This is Roddy,
candid, serious and at times laughing at himself as he digs into some of the
psychology and experiences that propelled him in and out of the wrestling
arena."
A percentage of all sales will be donated to the Doernbecher
Children's Hospital, a hospital which had a special place in Roddy's
heart.
Kitty Toombs: "Roddy saw first hand during his decades in
Portland, Oregon the groundbreaking, good work being done at the Doernbecher
Children Hospital. Throughout the years he loved giving time volunteering as a
celebrity during fundraisers but even more so, just stopping by to roam the
halls and chat with the children. He shared with his family how those kids were
the real heroes and what they gave him was far more than they ever
realized."
Roddy Piper: In His Own Words is available to stream now at
www.ninelegendsfilm.com for $7.99, which includes access to
"Nine Legends", starring Bill Goldberg, Mike Tyson and Chris Jericho.
