Rest In Peace, Rowdy Roddy Piper

[calliopes_pen]

Rowdy Roddy Piper has passed away at the age of 61, after suffering a heart attack. May he rest in peace. I mostly remember him from watching a severely censored version of They Live on television, since I was never a fan of wrestling. However, after checking IMDB, I see that as I vaguely recalled, he once ended up appearing in the live action host segment of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show. He was in an episode (an episode that I have never rewatched, so I didn’t know that was him) of Highlander: The Series. I need to watch Hell Comes To Frogtown.

I knew very little of him. But got to hear him a lot this year on Saints Row IV. He will be missed :(

Yeah, I remember "They Live" too. Enough so that I quoted it in one of my fics...

Gutted. Too young. :( We watched They Live not long ago. He looked so healthy and fit. I had to 'phone my son and he was gutted too as he used to go to WWF back in the day. Such a shame.
