The only thing that I'm surprised at is the Iron Sheik tweeted that he loved him instead of calling him a "cancer-pussy".

He was part of the reason I rooted for heels so often. He made my dad laugh during tough times and that made me, as a little kid, even if I didnt get what he was saying in his promos, laugh too.

gently caress.
Rest in Peace, Roddy.

And now i'm kicking myself. One of the big NEW shows had Roddy signing autographs and I didn't get one. I spent a lot of money already on the Bullet Club. RIP man.

Also, Roddy was only 61? :smith: That still seems like to young for him to go.

May he forever have bubblegum and asses to kick.

"I'll never forget seeing him in a bunkhouse brawl match at the richmond coliseum when I was a kid. He announced his return to the ring by starting a chainsaw while wearing a hockey mask."

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.
Oh hello pits of despair, weren't we just here when Dusty died?

This is hitting me even harder than Dusty. When I started watching in the early 90's, Piper was my favorite. I recall being completely sure that at Royal Rumble 1992 he was going to win both the IC and world title belts in one night. Dude was always electric and fun as hell and once dressed up as a superhero while teaming up with RoboCop. I'm going to miss the hell out of him.

Rewatching the final minutes of Legends House is probably the most soul destroying thing you can do right now.

I want Sheamus and Ambrose to have a match tomorrow both coming out in kilts and Piper's theme. :colbert:


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