fallen hero

bad news about Rowdy Roddy Piper

Roddy was one of my favorite wrestlers back in the day when it was cool to watch and not as much of a soap opera as it is now. Back in the days of Hulk Hogan as a good guy, Macho Man Randy Savage, Sgt. Slaughter, and Jake "the Snake" Roberts.
And now Roddy's got lymphoma. At least he's got a good attitude about it.


It seems like I have been fighting someone, something, someplace, in some manner, my whole life," Piper said in a statement. "But this fight is one I am gonna win!"

That's because he'll just go into his trademark scottish rage and thrash all the lymphoma out of his whole body. Way to go Roddy Piper!


p.s. does anyone know if Mean Gene is still working in the wrestling world? Just curious...
