Rowdy Roddy Piper Dead at 61

[Devil's Advocate]

RIP Roddy Piper, he was a great pro-wrestler but I remember him mostly for the role he played in the movie 'They Live', a movie that helped to awaken many people and one that predicted how the world would unfold over the next few decades. Roddy was interviewed by Alex Jones once, and said he knew that the agenda was real. he encouraged people to fight the power.

Roddy also starred in the 80's classic "Hell comes to Frogtown", another great movie.

RIP Roddy Piper.

- I watched a Rod movie that he killed the drunk driver that murdered his wife, i loved that movie, i thik people that drive druk desserv that, or getting thorwn to sharks.

Another thing cool is that he looked like a normal dude, not like a chymical experiment like several wrestlers from that time so it's was easy to get behind cheering for Rod.

Yeah, he did have that Joe Average thing going for him, he was a true pioneer of modern pro-wrestling, they still use the basic 80's model in WWE today. He still had to be in good shape for the screen though, and it's sad that so many of these 80's wrestling legends die from heart failure at such an early age. I guess that's the price of fame though, would he swap it to have lived as an accountant that lived to 90, and spent the last 20 years of his life in nursing home? I think probably not.

Rowdy Roddy Piper left his mark on this world, and is immortalized forever on the silver screen, and in timeless, classic wrestling moments.
