This is from our exclusive Title Match Network interview series with the legendary, Hall of Famer Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, produced live Feb 2023.
We discuss what it was like riding down the roads with Valentine's good friend, Roddy Piper. Though the two had a bitter blood feud throughout the NWA, including the infamous dog collar matches, they stayed friends behind the scenes.
Greg and Roddy worked together for years before both landing in WWF (World Wrestling Federation) around the same in 1984.
If you haven't seen the Valentine vs Piper dog collar match from Starrcade 1983, go out of your way and watch it.

Greg Valentine...I love the Hammer....glad he's still with us....would love to meet him n a meet and greet

[@Brando-Lee3725]

While Greg may have aged as we all do , he still has the killer hair as always ! He still looks like Greg The Hammer Valentine ! He and his father are true wrestling legends without a doubt . Throw another legend like Piper in that mix and its insane how great those matches stand up today . That dog collar match from 83 I first saw in 86 on a tape I bought still has a lasting impression on me !

Piper Valentine was a great feud. Should have continued in the WWF.

[@Mismoothness]

One time I was sitting watching a commercial break from a WWF episode. When the show came back on it started with Piper and Valentine at one of those tv interview segments. They were staring at each other as if they were going to brawl. TV announcers and even Valentine's manager, Capt Lou, talked about bad blood between them from previous years. I found it strange they acknowledged a feud between them at another place. Capt Lou told them they should let bygones be bygones. Just when you think they were going to brawl they hugged it. I was hoping those two would rekindle their feud. That would've been awesome. Valentine would've been the babyface since Piper was in his first year there and an awesome villain.

I remember that Piper’s Pit

One more reason to dislike WWF at the time. Vince should have carried that feud through after he got them both

So he referred to Piper as "Rick"?

[@johngallagher72]

I think he meant when he was teaming with Ric Flair

If Greg was trying to protect the business he wouldn't of been with Rowdy at all🙄

The key word was 'try'. They are only human - and damn good wrestlers.

The hammer was a great technical or scientific grappler but wasn't a good heel. Heels are usually good behind the mike he wasn't that's why I'm surprised he was never a baby face
