The Rock Credits WWE Hall Of Famer For Catchphrase, Support Roddy Piper Project, Iron Sheik
- You can check out a trailer for the new Iron Sheik documentary, The Sheik, in the video above. The trailer includes comments from The Rock, Jake "The Snake" Roberts and Jim Ross. The film releases on VOD on December 2nd.
- The Post Game has a clip here from the documentary with The Rock discussing The Iron Sheik's influence on his career. In the clip, The Rock talked about getting the word 'jabroni' during a long plane flight with The Sheik, where The Sheik told him to listen to his peers and not be a jabroni.
"Now the word jabroni is connected to me," The Rock said. "When a lot of people think, 'oh, jabroni, oh, yeah, yeah, it's The Rock's word.' No, no, no, no. It's not my word. It's the Iron Sheik's word."
- "Rowdy" Roddy Piper is set to star in the short film, Portal To Hell, and you can help make it happen. Director Vivieno Caldinelli (Picnicface, This Hour Has 22 Minutes) and writer Matt Watts (Michael: Tuesdays and Thursdays) have teamed with Piper to bring horror fans what they are describing as "the slimiest genre mash-up ever seen!" The short film will be moving forward in early 2015, and fans can support the project via Indiegogo by clicking here so that the filmmakers can create bigger stunts, crazier effects, and put the gears in motion to turn the film into a feature-length movie. Here is the synopsis for the flick:
Jack (Piper) is a simple man with simple needs. Mostly he just needs to be left alone to read his book. It's a good book and he likes it... or, at least, he would if the tenants of the building he manages weren't so damn needy.
And it's not just blown fuses and clogged toilets... No, when the building power goes out, the culprit is a pair of Cthulhu-worshiping tenants opening a portal to the demon city of R'lyeh in the basement.
Does this count as building maintenance? Is battling the supernatural part of Jack's job description? Maybe not, but if Jack can't close the portal, the entire building and ? let's face it ? the whole world is screwed.
