I can't believe it!

Man they're dropping like flies

That's shocking

Roddy was one of the few WWF wrestlers that made 80's WWF wrestling a legend

Dang, I feel like a friend died

[toys2cool]

this guy was amazing in person... so sweet.. He took his time with me a few years back, there was a huge line and the money kept saying to hurry up and he told guy to chill out..and kept asking me personal questions..I loved it..Told me he had a daughter my age ...This one hurts me for sure ..and "they live" is an all time fave of my mine

I really dislike Wrestling but him I loved, too young!

[hedrap]

wow...I go back watching Roddy to his AWA days, his first wrestling gig. He was always the third piece to the puzzle of Hogan and Flair. Arguably the greatest pure heel the business ever had. Without Roddy, WWF never happens. Only he could draw the heat necessary for MTV and Wrestlemania because he was always, always credible as the bad guy.

Very sad, but at least he went in his sleep, at home, peacefully. Sort of ironic considering the persona. A fulfilled life.

Rest in peace Roddy.

WOW so young and although I never did meet him seemed like a real sweetheart of a guy. SO sad :(

[Hector]

The evils of pro wrestling caught up to Roddy...nice guy...tough business.

[Brown Bear]

61 is far too young. Piper was one of thee all time best on the mic. I loved him.

[Hector]

About his death at 61, well...the pattern is there...so no, not shocked, but yes, saddened, Roddy was quite an entertainer...what's more shocking to me...is that he never won the WWF title...the highest he achieved was the Intercontinental championship...quite surprising given his excellent mic skill and overall persona.

I watched Saturday morning/afternoon wrestling, just for Pipers Pit, some classic interviews, he was the bad guy
but I couldn't help thinking he was great, I had his HotRod T-shirt, his LJN figure with removable kilt, saw him
wrestle at the Boston Garden against Bruno Samartino and Jimmy (super fly) Snuka both in a steel cage.

I can't believe he's gone, rest in peace RRP, it's guys like you that kept wrestling on the map, Vince McMahon
should have licked your boots.

Boy, that's horrible. I so loved him in They Live. He was pitch perfect in that film.
