RIP Roddy... one of the most memorable WWE personalities ever!

Unbelievable. Another of the great ones from the WWF now gone. I grew up watching Piper's Pit. The guy was the ultimate showman both in and out of the ring. There was no greater villain of Hulk Hogan back in the day.

I liked him better than the good guys he was going against. He was my first foray into rooting for the villains
I will watch RAW Monday for the tribute. He is also technically the first guy to have a win over Goldberg.
