RIP Rowdy Roddy Piper, age 61

One of my all time favorite wrestlers and role models, going back to the early 1980s as I followed the NWA via magazines before national pro wrestling was a reality.

I preferred him as a "heel" (bad guy) and his coked to the gills, stream of consciousness style was groundbreaking at the time. Pipers Pit made the wrestler hosted interview segment an essential part of a wrestling tv show,though Piper wasn't the first.

Roddy fought back cancer and evidently succumbed to a heart attack earlier today. He was 61.

RIP.

Bummed.
