Title: Rowdy Roddy Piper, RIP
Post by: Brad Johnson on July 31, 2015, 09:50:16 PM
Well damn, no link but just saw on the news crawls that Roddy Piper (real name Patrick Toombs) passed away. Saw him on a WWE retrospective not long ango and didn't know that he'd battled cancer.

Guess he really did run out of bubblegum.  =|

Complications of a heart attack, apparently. Only 61.

Saw Roddy Piper a few times when I ran camera at Portland Wrestling matches for KPTV years back.
It was kind of fun watching him in "They Live" despite the fact he wasn't much of an actor.
RIP Mr. Piper.

Never watched WWE, but he seemed like a nice guy in Saints Row 4. He helps you beat up Vice President Keith David.

RIP, dude.
