He was so talented.

 

Great sense of humor, he could act, and he made pipers pit better than the joke it was supposed to be.

RIP Roddy. One of the greats.

 

You deserved a tribute thread in the correct forum...

Dusty and Roddy both died? Wow! It really is the end of wrestling.

 

What is about that profession that takes years of your life.

[Mystafo]

Cocaine, alcohol, brain damage from impact/concussions, steroid use.....

I just met this wonderful man a few months ago in Toronto. He was a very friendly and down to Earth Guy. First time reading the news, it just reminded me how we don't have control on when our time will run out. RIP sir... RIP

So many have died young

 

How could they forget Bruiser Brody?

 

 

RIP Roddy. His appearances on Portland Wrestling during the late '80s were tons of fun!

I remember the match he had with Bad News Brown, where he came out with half his body painted black. Stuff like that would never fly today.

 

He was one of the greatest heels in the biz, and one of the best ever on the mic. RIP Hot Rod.

Not to mention the horrible things he used to call Tito Santana!
