OMG!!! I can't forget this legend, I use to call him Worry Piper when I was younger never knew it was 'Roddy' not until now...
Comes to the ring on British Skirt and had lots of fans along side 'Man show man, Bright Hart(heat man), Hulk Hogan, British Bull dog, Owen Hart, Warrior and one other one that comes to the ring with wood and shouts 'Hooooooooooo USA'. Lynda if you were at home with wrestling in early 90s you would know who I'm talking about.
I can't forget the match 'Worry' Piper had with 'Crazy' Goldos in 1996, he broke Goldos' Range Rover and they fought through to the streets.
That was when it was called 'WWF' not now it's called 'WWE'
When wrestling was really interesting and captivating.
Legend Roddy Piper may you courageous soul rest in peace. Amen. I am a big fan.
