Dec 5, 1986 Mom, Dad, my brother & I went to Arco Arena in Sacramento to see our 1st WWF event. We got this event sheet with a Program & my folks got a Hot Rod shirt for me- size small back then. Mom got pics from 8 of 9 matches. I miss her. Today I'll wear this new Hot Rod shirt

Paul Orndorff beat Roddy Piper Feb 12, 1986 in Fresno, CA. On the same card Don Muraco lost to Ricky Steamboat & Cowboy Bob Orton lost to Uncle Elmer. Roddy, Don & Bob got in trouble later that night & Roddy had to stay away from Fresno for a while

Jake Roberts defeated Ted DiBiase with special guest Referee the Big Boss Man Feb 12, 1990 in Tacoma, WA. These 2nd generation icons each started their career in wrestling in 1974. They also were both stars in Mid South before gaining their greatest success in WWF

@PaulOrndorffWWE @WWE @R_Roddy_Piper The next morning I believe he went and bailed Roddy out of jail. I think it was just a charge of vagrancy but Piper, Orton & Muraco got into a bit of trouble in Fresno

Rowdy Roddy Piper, Cowboy Bob Orton & Don Muraco got in some trouble Feb 12, 1986 in Fresno, CA. The 3 men had a bit too much to drink at a local establishment & Roddy may or may not have roughed up a patron. Next a rental car may've been left on the railroad tracks.

@GrrillaPosition Andre was Godfather to Bill Eadie's daughter. How special that you have that pair. Bill said his daughter collects wrestling figures & I was able to gift a hand painted Series 1 LJN Andre figure to him in May of 2023. It was a cool experience & he was very friendly.
