An MTV interview with Charlie Day of &#8220;It&#8217;s Always Sunny in Philadelphia&#8221; hypes an upcoming Roddy Piper appearance as a highlight of the FX comedy&#8217;s upcoming season.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;One of my favorite scripts right now is an episode called \u2018The Gang Wrestles for the Troops,\u2019\u201d said Day. \u201cIn our attempt to honor the troops coming back from Iraq, we try and put on a wrestling match and \u2018Rowdy\u2019 Roddy Piper is appearing in that. He\u2019s playing a down on his luck wrestler called Da Maniac.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; As part of its website hype for the new ECW talent, WWE.com also acknowledges Tiffany&#8217;s recent &#8220;promotion&#8221; to full-time GM for the ECW brand (she had previously been the interim general manager).  The hype is interesting, given a report in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Tiffany is considered a frontrunner to replace Lilian Garcia because of the &#8220;realization that she is not cut out for the role she is in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/view.picapp.com\/default.aspx?term=\\roddy piper&#038;iid=4471309\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.picapp.com\/ftp\/Images\/a\/b\/4\/7\/PicImg_WrestleMania_25_77a5.jpg?adImageId=1782624&#038;imageId=4471309\" width=\"320\" height=\"213\"  border=\"0\" alt=\"WrestleMania 25\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.pis.picapp.com\/IamProd\/PicAppPIS\/JavaScript\/PisV4.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[3,10],"tags":[],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Latest on Roddy Piper, ECW&#039;s New Talent, Announcer<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"-- Roddy Piper&#039;s DUI arrest has garnered notable media coverage from pro wrestling sources and celebrity gossip sites, but it was not the WWE Hall of\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2009\/07\/02\/latest-on-roddy-piper-ecws-new-talent-announcer\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Latest on Roddy Piper, ECW&#039;s New Talent, Announcer\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"-- Roddy Piper&#039;s DUI arrest has garnered notable media coverage from pro wrestling sources and celebrity gossip sites, but it was not the WWE Hall of\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2009\/07\/02\/latest-on-roddy-piper-ecws-new-talent-announcer\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Headline Planet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2009-07-03T03:45:30+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2009-07-03T03:48:59+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"http:\/\/cdn.picapp.com\/ftp\/Images\/a\/b\/4\/7\/PicImg_WrestleMania_25_77a5.jpg?adImageId=1782624&imageId=4471309\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Brian Cantor\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@cantorpedia\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@headlineplanet\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2009\/07\/02\/latest-on-roddy-piper-ecws-new-talent-announcer\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2009\/07\/02\/latest-on-roddy-piper-ecws-new-talent-announcer\/\",\"name\":\"Latest on Roddy Piper, ECW's New Talent, Announcer\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2009-07-03T03:45:30+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2009-07-03T03:48:59+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\"},\"description\":\"-- Roddy Piper's DUI arrest has garnered notable media coverage from pro wrestling sources and celebrity gossip sites, but it was not the WWE Hall of\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2009\/07\/02\/latest-on-roddy-piper-ecws-new-talent-announcer\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/\",\"name\":\"Headline Planet\",\"description\":\"Music News &amp;
