During a recent appearance on the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Teal Piper commented on how her father might react to her becoming a wrestler.
Teal, who is the daughter of ‘Rowdy’ Roddy Piper, began her wrestling career in 2019. She said,
“When I first decided to get into professional wrestling, my first thought was [that] there’s going to be a lot of doors that open naturally just because of my dad. But I wanted to make sure that I wasn’t disrespecting my father. He would want me to learn the ropes [and] to go out there and experience the independent scene… because he had so much respect for wrestlers that built their way up. And I felt that it would be dishonoring him in a way to just skip that process… I think that he would be very happy to see that I’m taking it seriously, that I’m putting in the work, and that I’m trying to honor his body of work as well as create my own thing.“
