Portland's own. Loved the guy. R.I.P.
Uhh nothing compared to how he grew up tbh
He was Canadian
He lived in Portland. And when he first broke into the business it was in the Pacific Northwest.
I watched They Live yesterday, he was great this is sad news.
, I actually liked him.
Rip.
But what about the dead lion.....
Winnepeg is not the Pacific NW. You can listen to him talk about how he broke into pro wrestling in Winnepeg here:He lived in Portland. And when he first broke into the business it was in the Pacific Northwest.

You're right. I was thinking more of where he first started becoming somebody...
By late 1978-early 1979, Buddy Rose talked Piper into leaving the California promotions for even more fame in Don Owen’s Pacific Northwest Territory where he teamed with Killer Tim Brooks, Rick Martel, and Mike Popovich to win the NWA Pacific Northwest Tag Team Championship. Piper also won the NWA Pacific Northwest Heavyweight Championship with victories over both Lord Jonathan Boyd and "Playboy" Buddy Rose.
But being this is a sad time for us fans, not going to do the usual debate thing.
They Live is a great ing movie.
I hope someone does a do entary on Hot Rod…Greatest skit ever was Pipers Pit….At some point he got involved in the movie business, missed scheduled matches & fell out of favor with Vince McMahon…I am thinking that it had to do with Harley Davidson & the Marlboro Man back in 1991…Hot-Rod & Big John Studd lost their WWF endorsements along with action figure revenue…It was a huge financial hit…
R.I.P "Rowdy Rowdy" Piper
The accent would always make one pause no matter what they were doing as they passed the television set, though The Pit was his highest calling. When he'd invite a relative newcomer in would be the best. He'd make promises that there would be no physical attack, no beat down, no slappin' the livin' out of the fellow. The poor thing would go on in, set down and for the first minute the promises would be kept. Then Piper would slap the livin' out of him. If I saw it a 100 times it never grows old....
We look not
at what can be seen,
but we look at what
cannot be seen
For what can be seen
is temporary,
but what cannot
be seen is eternal
For we know that
if the earthly tent
we live in is destroyed,
we have a building
from God,
A house not made
from hands,
Eternal in the heavens,
In the heavens

I never watched a lot of wrasslin' but Roddy Piper was a legend. Rest in Peace. I'm gonna watch my bluray of They Live this weekend.
I like talking rasslin'.
Hearing these guys talk about the real world behind the scenes is fascinating. Very interesting world full of unique characters.
Piper's character was unique which really is a big deal in the biz, it's not that easy to do.
I always go with BHH and AHH, or before Hulk Hogan and after with the rasslin'. He really did bring the sport to the forefront. While Ric Flair was better he was pretty much a southern thing. While Hogan had no boundaries,

Super Pedo and the Teenage Asian Tranny
Piper and his wife Kitty, who he had been married to since 1979, lived on a mountain in Portland, Oregon.[104] They had four children: daughters Anastacia Shea, Ariel Teal, and Falon Danika, and son Colton Baird. Anastacia has a child, making Piper a grandfather. Colton is an aspiring mixed martial artist and also wrestles for Portland Wrestling Uncut. Ariel is following her father's lead in Hollywood as an actress. Piper and Ariel acted together in the film Legion: The Final Exorcism. Falon is a college student.[105]
Yup. John Carpenter's last great film.
Thats true, Big Trouble in Little China, Escape from NY, The Thing, and They Live are classics, I really enjoyed Memoirs of an Invisible Man and In the Mouth of Madness could have been a better movie.
Cristine and Starman are meh and I dont really enjoyed The Fog.
But when the decline started in the 90s the lowest point ever was that Ghosts from Mars movie it was cheap stupid cliche and some of the worst crap ever, he did all those great movies so how the he fell into that hole?
His "Assault on Precinct 13" is the masterpiece. The [ice cream truck sequence] with the Richards girl is one of the noted scenes in film history. The movie is more than fit for repeated viewings.
"Escape" has not aged well as one would've expect. It's more a curiosity than a study.
