“ROWDY” RODDY PIPER

“Rowdy” Roddy Piper was a famous Canadian wrestler known to the international audience for his work with the World Wrestling Federation, now named World Wrestling Entertainment. His nicknames “Rowdy” and “Hot Rod” were due to his trademark “Scottish” aggressiveness, rage, and quick wits, which made him one of the biggest pro-wrestling villains. Piper was famous for his on-air feud with Hulk Hogan, which he credited to his career becoming more prominent than ever. He had other publicized feuds with “Nature Boy” Ric Flair and “Superfly” Jimmy Snuka.

No one can deny that the wrestler was one of the most recognizable stars because of his multiple headlined events, including Wrestlemania and Starrcade. In 2015, Piper got the honor of being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, making him one of the best investments the WWF ever had. Roddy Piper passed away in his sleep in 2015. Many wrestling co-stars and fans expressed that they will always remember him as an icon, a legend, and an amazing man.
