I'm afraid to ask why what happened in the final minutes or episode of Legend's House?

They all wait in the living room as they get phone calls about their individual limos showing up. One by one they say their goodbyes. The last two are Piper and Duggan, who were roommates and came off as really close throughout the show. After Duggan leaves, it's just Piper alone, talking about the experiences and how it's not likely he'll see them too often in the future. Then he sits down and plays the piano until it's time for him to leave.

It seemed to me that Roddy was very grateful to be alive at all after the cancer scare. He certainly didn't waste any of his time on Earth, too short though it was.

quote:

Ric Flair -- one of Roddy Piper's longest and closest friends -- has issued a statement to TMZ Sports on the death of the wrestling legend:

"We've shared the ring, traveled the world, maintained a friendship throughout the ups and downs of the wrestling world, and battled to see who was the better heel," Piper said.

"It's almost impossible to express my grief. My condolences to his children and to his wife Kitty. I'll miss you Roddy. The world will never be as Rowdy without you. "

I just want to smile. Just once. I'd like to just, one time, go to Disney World and smile like the other boys and girls.
His Mean Gene interview at Summerslam '89 after he mooned Rick Rude was one of my favorite moments of the three years I watched wrestling.

I randomly decided to watch Roddy vs Hogan in WCW on the network one day, just to see how horrible it could possibly be, and Roddy cut one of the best goddamn promos I've ever seen just beforehand and it made me super excited to see that lovely match.

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

Piper was just my favorite wrestler ever as a kid. I think it was that match in the Intercontinental tourney that did it, where Rick Martel (who I loving hated ever since he blinded Jake the Snake) got the atomizer and tried to shoot him, but Piper blocked it with a chair and smacked him. Dude was my hero.

This is really sad even though Roddy's clearly not playing what we're hearing on the audio.

My great-grandfather started Larsen Pork Products with little more than three pigs and a killing hammer. Today, I'm proud to say, we kill more pigs than pig hepatitis.
This is hosed up. Piper and Macho Man were my favorites from the 80's. Once again it should've been Hogan.

RIP Hot Rod
