    NIAGARA FALLS — Hundreds of fans helped turn Clifton Hill into Piper’s Pit Friday.

    With his trademark kilt and black leather jacket, wrestling legend “Rowdy” Roddy Piper hosted a humorous edition of his famed talk show outside the WWE store, even plucking a young fan from the crowd to join him.

    “I’ve done a lot of Piper’s Pits, and I thought to myself, maybe one of you folks would like to do one,” he asked the pumped up crowd.

    The WWE hall of famer and his co-host, donning a Hot Rod T-shirt, traded barbs with veteran announcer Bobby “The Brain” Heenan before heading inside to sign autographs.
