WWE HOF wrestler 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper has died from cardiac arrest at age 61. Probably my second favorite wrestler behind the Nature Boy Ric Flair. One of my best memories was of Piper in Piper's pit when he busted a cocoanut over Jimmy Snuka's head.

He is survived by his wife and 4 children.

Sadly Piper all but said Pat Patterson sexually assaulted when he was a minor trying to break into the business. For years Patterson had rumours of casting couch sessions with young rookies trying to break into the business. Here is the interview, note Piper sounds punchy like Riddick Bowe or James Toney and rambles in his two interviews......https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADGR2bxLm34

The WWE posted videos of him "coming out," which the thumbs up bar is overwhelmingly positive. The comments are disabled so you can't talk about him abusing young desperate boys.
 
I didn't follow pro wrestling but loved Piper as the protagonist in They Live. My young nephew wanted to see it and I had no idea what it was about when I went to the theater but it instantly became one of my all-time favorite movies and is even more relevant today (I remember thinking there would never be anything like the surveillance drones shown in the movie; how could any government be that totalitarian).

Piper along with Oliver Stone's son Sean was interviewed by Alex Jones a year or so ago, so he was at least somewhat aware of what's going on and willing to go public about it.
 
I remember when Piper wore "White is right" shirts. RIP

I didn't follow wrestling either, but I remember when I was a child in the early and mid 70's my father would take me to his parents home on Saturday morning's and my grandmother would watch Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling and she believed every bit of it. That's when I first saw Ric Flair and he was my favorite and my father would watch a little WWE late in the late 70's and early 80's and took notice off Roddy Piper.

Wrestling, for me was just down right funny. Like when Piper took Cindy Lauper's music award and busted it over Capt. Lou Albano's head and kicked Lauper across the ring and power slammed Lauper's manager. Piper's Pit is hilarious!

Also, the Ric Flair interviews are classic. If you want a good laugh, check out some of Flair's interviews in the 70's and 80's. You can just google this stuff on you tube. I would do it on here, but I have difficult time putting them on the site.

Another good search is Stone Cold Steve Austin's confrontation with Mike Tyson. Everyone on CF should look this one up, you'd love it!

That film suggests there are people who outwardly look like us but in reality are a different people with different interests. Hmm...who could that be?

He was a funny guy. Wrestlers die young. He was 61. 61 wrestler years = 122 human years.
