Roddy Piper's I.C.O.N. shirt

[Steve J. Rogers 0]

During one of Piper's face runs in WCW, going up against Hogan, he came up with a shirt proclaming that he was an Icon, only it was done in acroynm form I.C.O.N.

 

Now, what the hell was that supposed to mean?

 

I

Cower

Over

Nobody

 

eh, I can't come up with too many sentences that make sense with I.C.O.N unless it was parts of words or something

Yep you got it right. Thats what it stood for (Piper said so himself on Nitro once IIRC)

If you didn't know, then I gotta say, that was a fucking good guess on your behalf.

So then what's the deal with the "Frats!" t-shirt? For the longest time, my peeps always thought it said "Farts!"

In Piper's book, he refers to fellow wrestlers and wrestlers that have passed away as his "Frat brothers" as in the so-called wrestler fraternity. Otherwise, it's just a term for wrestlers because they used to practically live with each other on the road and were close.

Piper always explained "ICON" as "I Cower Over Nothin'!" on Nitro, BTW.

Nobody, nothing. Potatoes, potatoes. Tomatoes, tomatoes.

I always wondered about 'FRATS!'. Now I know, it is terrible.

Piper also had a "Yes Sir !" t-shirt during the Russo Era in WCW. I wonder if they ever sold it to the public ?

I don't remember that one but I remember the "Reality Check" one from 1999. Could you buy that one?

Piper's shirts and catchphrases were the drizzling shits in WCW.
