RIP, Hot Rod.

[RP]

Dead at age 61

[screech]

Well, shit :(

[Mercenary]

....DAMN IT! :(

[Fignuts]

Fuck

[Sixx]

They live. :'(

[Emperor Smeat]

:( RIP

[Simple Fan]

Damn.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Holy Shit no way...this suuuuuuuuuuuucks big time. What a past couple of crazy weeks in WWE: People being fired and retiring, Miz doing the unthinkable on Tough Enough and saving Amanda who everybody expected to be eliminated, and now this.

I don't know how much more of this I can take.

[Kris P Lettus]

"Rowdy" Ronda Rousey's favorite wrestler.

[Sepholio]

RIP Roddy. You will be missed by many the world over.

[RP]

"Rowdy" Ronda Rousey's favorite wrestler.

Dude it's not appropriate to make fun of dead wrestlers. Show some respect.

[Heisenberg]

Not a good day, fuck that, he was one of the best.

[DrCrawford]

Bad year for wrestling.

[Wishbone]

No fucking way. This has to be a hoax, right? God damn it. Fuck this year, man. :(

[Kris P Lettus]

Dude it's not appropriate to make fun of dead wrestlers. Show some respect.

She is nicknamed after him and fights tomorrow. I'm not making fun of anyone.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Fuck fuck fuck :( I just saw him on TV last night on a non-wrestling show.</font>

[Bad News Gertner]

Wow I don't even know what to say. Piper partied hard during his years, but man he's the last guy you'd think would pass.

[Volare]

Just unreal.

[Blonde Moment]

Pretty much in shock over this.
Seemed to be pretty down to earth.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Tell me this last month has just been a nightmare and wake me up already.

Last I heard he was going through his beef with Stone Cold, hope they were able to make up.

[Droford]

Wow I don't even know what to say. Piper partied hard during his years, but man he's the last guy you'd think would pass.

People in their 60s die of heart attacks, it's not that crazy

[Stickman]

This one actually has me bummed out. Loved him even when I was a kid and he was a bad guy

[Blonde Moment]

My wife just told me that piper finally got his wish.
Makes me wonder if he fell asleep in his chair in that room of his

[ClockShot]

Been a rough couple months for the legends.

R.I.P.

[Blonde Moment]

Hogan needs to keep his trap shut on this one.

[#1-norm-fan]

NOOOOO!!!!!

[#1-norm-fan]

Jesus, is there any situation where Kris. P. will not try to discuss MMA with people who could give a fuck less? Go away, fucker. Trying to grieve.

[#1-norm-fan]

Wow I don't even know what to say. Piper partied hard during his years, but man he's the last guy you'd think would pass.

Honestly, it shouldn't be terribly surprising with most guys from that era. But when they've got that "larger that life" persona, it's just surreal. Ugh.

[Bad News Gertner]

People in their 60s die of heart attacks, it's not that crazy

I ment in terms of older wrestlers

[Vastardikai]

R.I.P. Hot Rod.

Piper had a huge impact on my life. Well, as huge an impact as getting CALLED "Rowdy" Roddy Piper for the better part of 34 years can be. It explains my tattoo, anyway.

Seriously hope Roddy puts St Peter in a sleeper.

[#1-norm-fan]

"They Live" is by far my favorite movie starring a rassler. Fucking love that movie.

[Nicky Fives]

Two of the greatest promos gone in 2 months :(

[Lock Jaw]

RIP.

Really sucks.

Out of all the legends who would occasionally appear, Piper was the one I always enjoyed the most. Not to mention all the stuff from when I was a kid, and later on in WCW vs Hogan.

He just had such a distinctive voice and character that no wrestler today can even come close to.

[NormanSmiley]

Historians, did piper and dusty ever have matches against each other in any territories? Youtube has nothing

Shitty news about his passing. What was piper's best run in your opinion?

[VSG]

What the fuck man :'(

[Savio]

The only match they were in together was the 1990 Royal rumble.... I think they almost faced the spirit squad together but Flair and Piper won the vote.

[Shisen Kopf]

Well, this sucks. I remember watching his match against Bret at WM and being disappointed when he didn't listen to Heenan "what the hell, ring the bell" and he didn't turn heel. Great match. Probably the best rassler to never win the WWF championship.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Just want to get to late October and hop in the DeLorean back to that point in 1985, blissfully unaware as my 4 1/2 year old self that any of this would happen 30 years later.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Well, this sucks. I remember watching his match against Bret at WM and being disappointed when he didn't listen to Heenan "what the hell, ring the bell" and he didn't turn heel. Great match. Probably the best rassler to never win the WWF championship.

For sure. He should've had at least one run with the WWF title. I also hate that all his work with Sean O'Haire as his mentor proved to be for nothing.

[Corndad]

RIP Hot Rod. Best Heel in Wrestling History.

[Theo Dious]

All out of bubble gum. :'(

[#1-norm-fan]

Looking back, I honestly don't think anyone was ever as good as playing both a heel and a face. Obviously, there's gonna be the Hogan argument because of what he did with both sides... but Piper was just incredible in both roles. Fucking detestable heel and incredibly likable face.

[Frank Drebin]

"Rowdy" Ronda Rousey's favorite wrestler.

Would be bad ass if she used his entrance music for her next fight.

[#1-norm-fan]

No entertainer was ever as outstanding as playing a good guy AND a bad guy without having to resort to cheap tactics like Jello pudding and rape.

[The Condor]

One of my all time favs. On the short list of most charismatic guys ever. Godspeed

Is there any situation where you aren't a whiney shitbag

[Asmo]

Damn. Woke up to this news, and it hurt. More than I thought it would. Piper was awesome at what he did. I legit, till the last last few years or so, didn't even know that his character was well, a character. It was all so brilliantly, and genuinely done that you just bought it, and believed it.

Whenever I'd hear bagpipes, I would immediately think of the Hot Rod.

You will be missed.

[#1-norm-fan]

Didn't even cross my mind until seeing this...

[Seth82]

Roddy became a household name in the WWF. It was in Portland however where he truly began to become the legend we know today.

One thing I always respected about Roddy was he refused to wrestle on WWF cards in Oregon. He wouldn't compete with local promoter Don Owen who was like a father to him and gave him his first big break.

"Rowdy" Roddy Piper shoots on newspaper columnist Steve Duin after the Oregonian writer attacks Portland Wrestling & the fans of professional wrestling.

You're missing the big picture. He was in the same ring with Bobby F'N Jaggers! :love::heart:

[#1-norm-fan]

I wonder if he ever had some non-finishes with "Rock 'n' Roll" Buck Zumhofe.

[erickman]

raw will be must see this week we will get heel tributes. damn is rondas big ppv tomorrow she will beat bitches ass for the piper she better have a bunch of bag pipes when she enters.

[#1-norm-fan]

Should have known. Buck always finishes, if you know what I mean.

[Cool King]

I was on my way home from a night out with friends when my friend text me the news.

I'm shocked. I loved Roddy Piper and things won't be the same without him. In my opinion, he was the best wrestler ever to not be WWE Champion, and along with that, the best talker on the mic there's ever been, and the best heel there's ever been too.

One of the best is now gone, but I'm sure never forgotten.

R.I.P Roddy. :(

[DAMN iNATOR]

Just when death thinks it has all the answers, there he goes again changing the questions.

[Disturbed316]

Damn, a sad couple of months :(

[GD]

Rest in peace, Rowdy Piper. Truly hurt.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Piper and non-finishes go together like bill cosby and roofies

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

fave Piper match was him Vs Bret. Piper at his best. Also, all his pre-WWF stuff I've seen on youtube is awesome
Oh also, backlot brawl with goldust was pretty sick.

RIP HOT ROD

[Tom Guycott]

Well, shit.

[KIRA]

Christ this summer man....

RIP Hot Rod

[DAMN iNATOR]

OOF

you left out the "R-IES"

[DAMN iNATOR]

No I didn't. I was practicing my Roman Reigns yell.

[#1-norm-fan]

Let's not bring Roman Reigns into this.

[Jazzy Foot]

This sucks. We'll never hear him come into the ring again to the sound of bagpipes and we'll never see Piper's Pit again etc. Sad news.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Jesus, is there any situation where Kris. P. will not try to discuss MMA with people who could give a fuck less? Go away, fucker. Trying to grieve.

TOO SOON, MAN! TOO SOON! :'(

[Kris P Lettus]

Rousey has dedicated her match to Roddy. It's a relevant post.

They were also trained and mentored by the same man, Judo Gene Lebell.

http://m.fightland.vice.com/blog/rowdy-roddy-piper-talks-about-handing-his-nickname-over-to-ronda-rousey

Roddy Piper: I was trained by, at the time, the toughest man in the world. Not according to him, either. His name is “Judo” Gene Lebell and he trained Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris. He’s the godfather of MMA. He’s about 80 years old. He still has a dojo in Burbank. When I was 17, 18 years old [wrestling] in the Olympic Auditorium, I ran into him. I was getting beat up pretty good and he took me under his wing.

So then maybe a year ago-ish (my timing’s not great), Ronda and Gene called me. She was so, so excited and so beautiful, saying, “Would you mind? I’ll make you proud and I’m giving it everything you got.” And I said, “You go, gal. You go!”

Somebody asked me, “What would you think if ‘Rowdy’ Ronda Rousey would become the face of the UFC?” I said I think it would be great. I think it would be a really great thing.

And “Judo” Gene Lebell, I don’t know if you know him. He got me in the very first movie I was in, too. He’s like my dad. I’ve been choked out many times by him.

[Shisen Kopf]

If Piper said she could use his Rowdy nickname then it's cool. I hope she wins her next fight at UFC 4 million or whatever ridiculous number they are up to now.

[Kris P Lettus]

190

[SNLfunnyguy]

Damn, this is some rotten news. RIP Roddy.

[DAMN iNATOR]

190

Seems way too low.

[Kris P Lettus]

190 PPV's

Including "Fight Nights" and TUF Finales tonight will be the 330th event UFC has held since 1993.

[Sixx]

I just learned UFC was recently in Poland. Huh.

[Shisen Kopf]

Reinstate Shisen to the MMA forum. It's what Piper would have wanted.

Cancer, I think.

"a man with a good heart"

Something like that at least. Cardiac Arrest from what I've seen.

RdDggyDg level post there.

He meant figuratively.

lol Jesus, STD...

If Bret Hart was assassinated by a sniper or, a sharpshooter, if you will, that would be a little too ironic. Don't you think?

[Bad News Gertner]

He'd die of boredom if it were ironic

[owenbrown]

Reinstate Shisen to the MMA forum. It's what Piper would have wanted.

If I were admin I would

STD: "Actually Bret's nickname was taken from the boxer Thomas 'Hitman' Hearns and not from an actual hitman so no it wouldnt be ironic."

Roddy Piper's death hit me a lot harder than Dusty's(no offense to the Legend), Roddy was on my T.V. all the time, following him to WCW and so on. Hell, I even watched his shit on TNA. He is one of the best heels that will ever grace a wrestling ring. I think it hit harder cause he was still booked to live another 20 years at least in everyone's minds. Dusty was a big dude and prone to health issues, but Roddy wasn't on the radar for any of that. I hope that dude does go on to live elsewhere. It'd be nice to see another Piper's Pit again.

[Heisenberg]

STD, can people from Boston poop from orifices of their body other than their ass?

[Blonde Moment]

Imo without Roddy there would be no Wwe today, at least not in its current form.

You're better off asking pfwd.

Agree. Without Piper, would Hulkamania have run wild?

[Bad News Gertner]

Orndorff was a very strong heel in 84. Not to the level of Piper, but not far off.

[Blonde Moment]

Can you see that whole angle leading up to Wrestlemania running the way it did with anyone else but Piper?

[Bad News Gertner]

Hard to say. Orndorff vs Hogan in Toronto drew 74,000 people to the Exibition Center ,so that feud was definitely a draw.

rusev was on the last pit one right thing that hapned to rusev this year.

[Bad News Gertner]

Erickman. Why do you hate capitalizing your posts lol?

[Crazy Nick]

I just wanted to pay my respects for Rowdy Roddy Piper, truly a legend, will be missed terribly, one of the all time greats. RIP

i know rite

[Bad News Gertner]

Lol it's so stupid but it annoys the shit out of me

[Shisen Kopf]

You didn't end that sentence with a period. Huge pet peeve of mine. Grammar is SERIOUS BUSINESS to me.

[Bad News Gertner]

Why erickman, why?!!?!?

[Damian Rey]

Piper is the only old timer that, no matter how often he was used or how frequently they brought him back, he always delivered and never lost his appeal. Fan said it before, but has anyone ever been so despised only to be so loved as much as Piper? Every old WWF ppv I watch the fans are rabid for him when he's doing fucking color commentary.

Very, very sad sad. RIP Roddy.

Love that autograph story. My Uncle got me Pipers autograph on a business card, and I had it since I was a kid. Until a day my wallet fell in a puddle. I was so bummed about this. Not only did I lose one of the only things my Uncle ever got me, but to lose Pipers autograph was bad as well. I ended up getting it again though when I saw Piper at Axxcess.

[Bad News Gertner]

I'm surpised the concussion talk hasn't ramped up. Piper was acting even more "off" than usual this past month.

Those types of heels make the best faces. They are sooooo good as heels that the fans fall in.love with them and make the heel a face.
