Coffey Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 I didn't even know he had cancer. EDIT: OK, now it says cardiac arrest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 I'm kinda numb after Dusty, but I was an even bigger fan of Piper. The only positive spin is that I assume we'll get some Piper podcasts, but damn I wish he wasn't gone. Anyone remember a couple of years ago when he basically cut a go-home promo for John Cena on Raw? The man still had it. Just like Dusty. Just think, 30 years ago they were both on top of the world.

Jmare007 Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 This summer has been a motherfucker for wrestling. RIP Roddy, 61 is still way too young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaufman316 Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 I'm thankful that I got to meet him once (at PWS 2012 in Toronto) - funnily enough I was showing off my "They Live" alien mask just last night. How short life is! RIP, Roddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffey Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 In one of those totally weird coincidences I was talking to someone at work today about They Live. Shit news. I was talking on Facebook about racism in WWE today, over the Hulk Hogan stuff. Someone posted the Wrestlemania picture of Roddy Piper painted half black from his match with Bad News Brown. I went from laughing at that to three minutes later seeing he had died. It was pretty surreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khawk20 Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Did we all have that experience today? I was watching, very randomly, some Piper shoot interview/podcast clips on youtube this afternoon during a slow bit at work. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffey Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 He was still relevant in the pro-wrestling world. It wasn't like he had faded away into obscurity. He was doing talk shows and podcasts, he just had that stuff with Austin & Podcast One that was news. People have been talking about him very recently, so I reckon several people have had that experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingus Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Did we all have that experience today?Not directly, but I was listening to The Lapsed Fan's podcast about Mania 8, so of course Piper was heavily discussed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parties Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 There's an old double-edged proverb sometimes found in fortune cookies that I've been thinking about the last few months: "May you live in interesting times." Strange year, this one. He's seen the glory, he's told the story Of battles glorious and deeds victorious But he will cease now, he is at peace now Far from these green hills of Tyrol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyin' Brian Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 First Dusty, now Piper. This has been a rough year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
