Sweetest guy in person. This was a few years ago (and I was 30lbs heavier here), right after this pic he fricken grabbed me in a huge bear hug.

Rowdy Roddy Piper was 'Wrestling', up there with "Classy" Freddie Blassie, Bret Hart, Hogan, and all the others I watched as a kid. My sincere condolences to his family and fans. His movie 'They Live' remains as having the best fight sequence ever devised for film, equal to 'The Quiet Man.'

Many here would agree he was the best of them all.

This was the one thing I had him sign when I met him.....he even inscribed it with his classic line.

seemed like a good guy...he was on celebrity wife swap with ric flair and it was actually a little bit touching with these two "bad" guys who are apparently nice guys in real life
