Damn. Only reason I watched WWF was for Pipers Pit and his rage outs. Never forget him beating down a guest with coconuts. RIP Rowdy
Fuuuuuuuck. That's really sad to hear. He was just on some morning news show and looked to be in rough shape. RIP to a legend. 
RIP Roddy. So sad to hear this. Just got a text from a friend informing of it. Totally sucks. I love Roddy and his films and personality. He had some flicks that were supposed to be coming out that looked decent. One of my all time favorite movies is They Live. Fuck. Good one left today.
why does everyone have to die!??!
RIP Hotrod!!!
