WTF Rowdy Roddy Piper Dead - 2015 Gives No F***'s

[petran79]

even the BBC had his death as a news headline!

[Sonichuman]

I wasn’t watching wrestling during his golden years but when he did show up in WCW or WWE I thought he was quite entertaining. His legend will live on. R.I.P.

[Wellman]

When I was watching wrestling he was just another one of the old legends that would come around cause a ruckas and act like a jackass. But damn did he do it SO well, him and Rick Flair, the most loveable wrestling heels of all time, Shawn Michaels, The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Randy Orton, Triple H all these guys take a back seat to Pipper and Flair.

RIP Roddy Piper, you will truly be missed.

Edit: I forgot he was the main guy from They Live, just another notch on his stellar belt.

[X-Death]

Wow his death even made the local news, and they don’t usually mention anyone cool.

I can’t find the words to describe the sorrow in my heart upon learning the news of my dear friend, Roddy Piper, passing away. He was my closest friend in the business, a man that schooled me and guided me throughout my career. In fact, if it wasn’t for Roddy Piper reaching out to help me, I’m sure I would’ve been a mere footnote in wrestling.

He was always there for me. He was family to me, a brother who loved me and was there for me through my darkest days. He was the only wrestler to come visit me when I suffered a stroke in 2002. He totally made me at Wrestlemania 8 in our classic match. Passing a torch that many from that era couldn’t conceive of doing. We always called each other “cuz” because we were so close.

I loved you Roddy, and I’ll miss you and your laugh for the rest of my days. I’m stunned and the hole in my heart will widen as it sinks in that I lost a brother of such great worth. What a tragic loss to all that knew him.

Rousey just dedicated her win overdemolition job on Correia to Piper.

First Dusty and now Piper. What’s next? Hogan or Taker right after Summerslam? This year has really been something to the WWE Legends.

I remember when I was six yrs old watching a match between Roddy Pipper and Bret Hart during Wrestlemania. I was a huge fan of Bret Hart and thought there was no way this guy in a skirt with a terrible theme song was going to win. Well, the match was really close. One of the best matches I’ve ever seen. Roddy had got Bret in his Sleeper-hold, which no one ever got out of–but Bret was able to reverse out of it by kicking off of the turnbuckle. Even though Roddy lost, I had newfound respect for him and became a huge fan from that point on.

RIP Rowdy Roddy Piper.

Don’t you mean one of the best scripts played out in the ring? You realise that wrestling wasn’t real?

You could have written that script and played it out with your buddies even better than what they did.

How can you shits respect people with fake accomplishments. Are you guys also on actors dicks that played superheroes?

[voodazz]

Wow. I actually met him last month at Fanboy con. I really should have spent the money to get my photo taken with him.

A little late, but RIP Roddy

The lack of comments here disappoints me a bit.
I’m gonna miss this…

[ThePurpleBunny]

It may just be me, but young Roddy looks a lot like Roger Goodell.

Which means Goodell is infringing on Roddy’s looks and should be forced to change his face.

Don’t throw rocks at a man who’s got a machine gun

[Pertho]

Wrestling is too brutal on the body.

Hopefully he’ll continue making fun of Tony Atlas in heaven. Pretty sure he is cracking jokes on him as we speak.

I watched They Live the other day. Love watching him get bottled, thrown through a window, roll half a mile down a hill, then get up like nothing happened.

[Shin_Akuma]

So I just watched “They Live” a couple of days ago too. I’ve known about this movie for a couple of years but I never got around to watching it until this thread popped up. I had no idea that Piper was in this. I encourage everyone and anyone to see this movie ― especially all Americans. This movie is depicting your future, America.

March 30, 1998
William Cooper: “To understand some sense of feel for the concept and how this is being done right under your very noses, see a movie called “They Live”. Now I’m not telling you “They Live” is a true movie, I’m telling that in this movie, the concept of how they are carrying about the destruction from within is presented to you in a method that you will clearly and easily be able to understand.”

Thank you Rowdy Roddy Piper for an amazing performance in this gem of a movie. RIP.
