my friends uncle reminded me of him(looks like).

RIP

I loved his character. A lot of people fail to realize that he was the guy that made Wrestlemania I, and not Hogan or Mr. T. I subscribed to the WWE Network for a bit and watched their reality show that had Piper on it, and it made me appreciate him a lot more. All of my childhood favorites are dying. Mr. Perfect, Macho Man, Warrior, and now Piper.

Fuck, I need a drink.

Rest in Peace, man.



EDIT -- Showing my appreciation for the guy, here's one of my fondest childhood memories:

Terrible news. Tough year for wrasslin' fans for sure.

When Mick Foley goes I will probably cry for real.

 

[RAZO]

One of my Dad's favorite movies is THEY LIVE. RIP RRP.

My favorite thing about Roddy is how he walks shaking his head side to side like a bobble head but in a really cool demeaning way, he was the best character from his time, so awesome to watch to this day. Not so hot in the ring though but he made it up with much needed mic skills and personality traits.

Mr. Perfect to me is the best of the best, right next to flair and Macho.

Your not alone man, with each death of one of my wrestling heroes another piece of my childhood memories dies.

I don't even fucking recognize any of these new whippersnappers in the current WWF oh I mean WWE

Rest in peace

I just the other day watched the episode of "It's Always Sunny..." that he guest-starred in. Sucks to see these guys from the golden age of wrestling passing away.

 

[famicommander]

I'm off to the liquor store to mourn.

 

[BeefJerky]

Gonna watch They Live in memory.

RIP Roddy.

And another one of the greats is gone

RIP. One of my all-time faves.

In the last year I had the privilege of watching They Live on 35mm and the big screen. Piper embodied a great Carpenter character.

His WWF Rowdy Roddy persona was equally as awesome.

I am saddened to see that talent come to an end.

 

[Castor Troy]

Damn it! RIP

The best part of that was Andre and someone dumped out the make up remover and replaced it with water. Piper had to fly home half-black/half-white.
