Via TMZ[1] :
Wrestling legend "Rowdy" Roddy Piper has died at the age of 61... TMZ Sports has learned.
Piper -- born Roderick George Toombs -- died from cardiac arrest at a home in Hollywood at around noon Friday. Piper was a wrestling icon -- one of the biggest stars in the WWE back in the '80s, and even wrestled in "Wrestlemania I" back in 1985 ... squaring off against Hulk Hogan and Mr. T. Roddy's rep tells us, "I am devastated at this news." "Rod was a good friend as well as a client and one of the most generous, sincere and authentic people I have ever known. This is a true loss to us all."
Piper had been diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma in 2006, but last November he said he was cancer free. Roddy was admitted into the WWE Hall of Fame back in 2005 and was one of the top 50 villains in the history of the WWE.
Piper had a long relationship with WWE -- last wrestling back in 2008 ... but appeared on various WWE shows up until 2014. Roddy is survived by his wife Kitty and their 4 kids -- including 3 daughters and son Colton who's pursuing a career in professional wrestling.

I remember him on WTBS back in the early 80s with Gordon Solie. Vince was demolishing all the other wrestling shows -- but Rowdy helped Ted Turner prevail for a while.

Also remember him in some movie where he had these glasses that could identify aliens.

One of the greatest talkers of all time.

Will never be another like him.

RIP Rowdy

In classic #RoddyPiper fashion, he once again steals the attention away from Hulk Hogan.

Piper was one of the best talkers ever. And a huge drug addict.

While I won't say he was at Hogan's level at drawing power, I would place him third after Hogan and Snuka in their primes. Probably one of, if not the best heels ever, but he had that rockstar persona that made him "cool".

I shall remember his contribution to the WWF.
