It might've been just 3 minutes of a puff piece, but well before Hulk Hogan returned to the World Wrestling Federation in the winter of 1984, the National Wrestling Alliance, via Georgia/World Championship Wrestling, got television's attention first with a short piece on Entertainment Tonight back in 1982. Gordon Solie, Roddy Piper, & Don "Magnificent" Muraco (misspelled as the country of Morocco) are interviewed, the latter two in character, and it sounds like Muraco is trying to emulate Piper's rapid fire method of talking......
Intro by Mary Hart and her original co-anchor, Ron Hendron:
Piper & Muraco would later sign with the World Wrestling Federation, but this was their TV debut away from TBS.
