Rowdy Roddy Piper Remembered

[FreddyShoop]

 

[Novacatt94]

In the spirit of the original "9/11 Remembered" thread, does anyone have a tasteless photo of Roddy's rotting corpse?

 

[tomdudes]

Piper's Pit was a classic.

 

[FreddyShoop]

It really was.

 

[cleanwave]

Pipers Pit was better than 95% of current tv programs.

RIP

 

[Mainliner II]

Bob Backlund was the greatest..............

Pipers pit was great I remember watching wrestling just to see that part of the show.

In the '80s, Roddy did for bagpipes what Yo Yo Ma would eventually do for the cello.

This one is bad. Some "where were you?" moments from growing up in the 80's:

Reagan shot
4/1/85
Apollo disaster
Losing virginity
Piper smashing a coconut on Jimi Snuka's head

 

[YAWN!]

Apollo disaster

 

[Doctor_Van]

Surprised it was a heart attack and not being crucified by the pc police for something he did 20 yrs ago...

Imagine if in real life a boxer was killed in the ring (by the middle of R2) and in the post fight interview with Max Kellerman the fighter who killed him said "If he dies, he dies."

Please don't ever compare me to that a-hole.

You really have favorites? Pathetic.

Do you have favorite movie actors? Not sure what the difference is...if someone is entertained by muscular men in Speedos, give them their space.

Having favorites implies you actually watched this garbage. In my opinion, pathetic at any age.

when i was 7-12ish i loved WWF on Sat mornings and man if Sat night main event was on that month, that was like heaven.

i went to Summer Slam 1990 at the Spectrum for my 10th birthday, what a great event. Rick Rude was the Warrior in a steel cage. how can anyone not like that. then Hogan comes out and take the Earthquake's quake and gets up on the 2 count. and ends up beating him senseless with the big boot followed by the leg drop. never seen anything like it.

 

[nardibynature123]

Leg drop, WHAT A FINISHING MOVE!!!!!!!!!

 

[novabball2]

anyone remember Wrestlefest ? the arcade game?

i could spend hrs as a kid playing on the boardwalk

Amazing they can still fill up a royal rumble event. Not many natural cause deaths in that list.
