As part of a Photo Caption Contest he is having on his Facebook page Facebook.com/TDiBiaseJr, WWE Superstar Ted DiBiase Jr. posted a very funny picture of himself and his father, WWE Hall Of Famer "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase. The amusing photo was taken earlier today and clearly shows off a much skinnier Ted Sr. who has lost upwards of 40 lbs since late last year.

This coming Saturday, at FTW’s St. Patty’s Day Brawl in Ronkonkoma, legendary and world-renown professional wrestler, THE HOT ROD, Rowdy Roddy Piper, will be hosting a special one-time-only episode of his notorious talk segment, “PIPER’S PIT.” But this isn’t the only news-worthy fact about the event.

Rowdy Roddy Piper is actually making the trip to the event specifically for a certain fan of his: Daniel Waifer, a student at the Fight The World Professional Wrestling School, and a low spectrum autism sufferer. THE HOT ROD is Waifer’s favorite superstar, and that Saturday is his birthday, and so Piper will be featuring Waifer as a guest on this rare PIPER’S PIT special.

The event has already garnered media attention, and will be reported on by both News 12 Long Island, as well as Newsday. Additionally, the event is being sponsored by the nonprofit organization, AUTISM SPEAKS.

Piper will also be making a special appearance at FTW’s Friday night event, MARCH OF WAR, at the Elks Lodge in Queens.

Tickets are still on sale for both of these colossal events this weekend on the FTW official website.

I am happy to answer any questions you may have in regards to this selfless and touching upcoming event, feel free to respond with any inquiries.
