RIP- Phil Philthy Animal Taylor- September 21, 1954-November 11, 2015.
He was a little bit before my time, but I've seen some of his matches and he was a real entertainer.
He was great. Peaking just when I got into wrestling (around Wrestlemania 2). Was never my favorite, but I was definitely watching for his matches and of course Piper's Pit. A great heel

I loved RR. He will definitely be missed. RIP.
All of the good ones are going. Junkyard Dog, The Ultimate Warrior, one of my all time faves Randy "Macho Man" Savage and now the Rowdy one, Roddy Piper. He was a great heel, and his feud with Hulk Hogan was one of the reasons I got hooked into wrestling way back just before Wrestlemania 1. RIP Hot Rod.
As great a wrestler / entertainer he was, I will always remember his infamous line from his horror comedy hit "They Live".

Now this was a guy who wrestled back when I actually loved watching the WWF. I never really watched the WWE, it was the WWF when I loved watching it.
RIP RRP.
It's funny, just this week Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat was touring the Atlantic region and was on the ATV news. I always love The Dragon.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
Sad news for sure. He was way before his time. He would have been great in his prime during the attitude era. He was basically Stone Cold 20 years before Austin.
His autobiography from 15-20 years ago was great reading.

Legend, no doubt. Best match was at Wrestlemania VII vs Bret Hart for the IC belt.
I always heard Snuka suffered some permanent damage from that coconut.

what the heck , only 61 .
I'm far from being a wrestling fan but everyone knew of piper . RIP
Same here. Not a wrestling fan but knew the big names and Roddy was one of them and was surprised because I knew he wasn't old. He also played in movie or 2 I think.

I liked Roddy, too bad. 61 is too early.

I don't remember much of his wrestling days, but I loved him as the Maniac on It's Always Sunny.
Sad news indeed! What a great entertainer!
