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.

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.

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.

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.

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. |

Roddy truly did do it his way.
Roddy was a natural fit for pro wrestling with his zany antics on the mic. RIP Hot Rod. |

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. Roddy wants to settle the score with perpetual cheater "Easy" Ed Wiskowski (Col. DeBeers) Roddy Piper attempts to prove that professional wrestling is no place for women by attacking lady wrestler Vicki Williams and forcibly throwing her out of the Crow's Nest Roddy Piper dogs both Buddy Rose and The Sheepherders Roddy Piper is ready to take "Nature Boy" Ric Flair's NWA World Heavyweight Title from around his waist in their upcoming championship match in the NWA Pacific Northwest territory Despite being in the Christmas mood, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper is all business when it comes to his upcoming Cage Match with vile Portland Wrestling villain "Playboy" Buddy Rose |

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. ![]() |
