This past Friday the world lost a man who’s nickname defined him more than any other professional wrestler in history. “Rowdy” Roddy Piper was known world wide in and out of the wrestling business as a man who feared no one and spoke his mind like no one else. He made people smile, he made people cry, he drew blood, he drew money, but most importantly he was respected by fans and his peers. Whether you were cheering or booing him, when Roddy spoke you listened.
In honor of Roddy Piper, let’s take a look back at some of the moments that made us go on an emotional rollercoaster for almost 40 years.
