WWE legend “Rowdy” Roddy Piper died after suffering a heart attack in his Hollywood home. He was 61.
The wake is in The Game Room.
I almost never visit The Game Room. (Never watched wrestling. I just know him from They Live.)
.
Same here.
Loved They Live.
RIP, Roddy.
I could have sworn he died a couple years ago. Who the hell do I have him confused with?
Macho Man Randy Savage? (d. 2011)
So far I think VICE said it best: Roddy Piper Came Here to Chew Bubblegum and Kick Ass and Now We’re All Out of Roddy Piper.
Aw, man!
Not big into the ridiculous joke that is “wrestling” (I wrestled in high school and college, REAL wrestling, and hated the fact that shit was called wrestling! :mad::mad: ) but I found some of those guys irresistibly entertaining. Piper at the top of the heap. Loved his persona.
RIP!
And he was a good actor. There was this funny sci fi movie I remember.
I wish I’d come up with that one.
Have a pizza in the oven, a few beverages on ice, the TV sojnd running through the stereo, and am settling down to watch They Live.
RIP, Roddy - you’ve given me a hell of a lot of entertainment over the years - I’ll miss ya.
If it turns out that fucking dentist shot him, I’m gonna be so pissed.
