Damn, RIP Rowdy Roddy Piper.

Holy shit! I am in shock. He was recently involved in a podcast feud with Stone Cold.

I don't know exactly what health problems he had but on his podcast he would often forget people's name a lot.

No, damm. Rip Rowdy

Wow natural causes at only 61....Don`t seem right.

R.I.P.

 

[KingofNicotine]

I think the guy suffered from depression. When I saw this thread I thought maybe his feud with Austin triggered some kind of suicide.

His face use to get really red when he got mad or excited.....watched him with superfly Jimmy Snuka & several all time greats back in the early 80's to mid 80's.WWF was the best IMO......but I stopped watching wrestling around 16 years old.......

They are saying he battled cancer a few years ago. Maybe it came back.

He never looked like he did steroids.

This wife swap was good..He was Ric Flair's best man at his first wedding...
