As it tur🉐ns out, Waller was in the lab studying tape before the first edition of 'The Grayson Waller Effect'. While speaking to Chris Van Vliet for a new interview, Waller revealed that he w🐲atched every episode of Roddy Piper's 'Piper's Pit' before starting his own talk show.

“Yeah, dude. He’s one of the guys, I watched every Piper’s Pit before my first Grayson Waller Effect. I think he is the blueprint for talk shows in wrestling because it was always about him but it also wasn’t. He was using himself as a way to tell people stories. Just his energy and his vibe and how wild he was, that’s entertainment, that’s wrestling. For those flops online that hate talk shows, that’s what a talk show should be, what he does. I think, even if you’re not a wrestling fan, you can watch Roddy Piper and have no idea who’s involved and that segment is gonna have you paying attention.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Waller commented on the idea of possibly being a babyface in WWE. Learn more about those comments here.
