Title: RIP Rowdy Roddy Piper
Post by: Howard_Casto on August 03, 2015, 12:56:35 am: Not sure how this one flew under my radar, apparently he died 3 days ago.

Fantastic heel but an even better actor and an all around nice guy. I had the opportunity to meet him once and I'm pretty sure he and Diamond Dallas Page are tied for the nicest celebrities on the planet. He was just 61... damn.

I also found out last night. I really liked the guy and thought he was going to be around a lot longer, especially after kicking cancer's ass.

Post by: Howard_Casto on August 03, 2015, 05:40:46 pm: I would be surprised if Piper ever used steroids. Let's put it this way, if he did, he forgot to work out afterwards.

One of my favorite B movies. Wish Netflix still had it to stream. I guess they had to make way for Big Trouble in Little China and Roadhouse.
