RIP Rowdy Roddy Piper
« 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.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

From all reports he was still doing it in 2015....

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

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.

I loved his schtick back in the day.  I watched some old Youtube footage the other day after I heard about his death.  Pure comedy gold.

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.
