Nancy Grace made enemies out of the wrestling world after she insinuated that The Ultimate Warrior died due to steroids and drug use and implied that many other wrestlers died the same way by showing a list of names on her show of wrestlers who died young. "Rowdy" Roddy Piper recently went on Twitter and challenged Grace while revealing he was asked to be on her show.

Grace had Diamond Dallas Page on her show last month to discuss The Warrior's death but she quickly switched her agenda to paint wrestling in a negative light, inferring that steroid use had to do with Warrior's death before the list of names of wrestlers who died young flashed on the screen.
Grace had insinuated that the list of names -- the most egregious of which was Owen Hart who died tragically by falling from the rafters to his death at a pay-per-view in May 1999 in one of the worst wrestling tragedies -- had all died due to drugs or steroids.

It was revealed by an autopsy that The Warrior died on April 8 of heart failure stemming from heart disease and that drugs had nothing to do with his death. Since the controversial interview with Page, many wrestlers and Page himself have ripped on Grace.
Piper sent out a series of tweets earlier this week about wanting to appear on Grace's show to "eat her alive:"

Piper then revealed that his invitation to the show --whether real or not -- was revoked.

The Warrior died in the hospital after he collapsed while walking to his car with his family at an Arizona hotel on April 8 after a week where he made amends with the WWE by being inducted into the Hall of Fame and making his first appearances at WrestleMania and Monday Night RAW in 18 years.
Sheamus also discussed Grace in the aftermath of that controversial interview with Page.
"You know, I've never been a fan of Nancy Grace. It's not a talk show. It's just her talking. I don't even think she has a soul, to be honest with you ... It's garbage. Her show is garbage," Sheamus told CBS Sports 920 in St Louis.
It remains to be seen if "Rowdy" Roddy Piper will appear on that "garbage" show, however if he does it would make for some amazing television.
