RIP Hot Rod. One of my favorites of all time. He's definitely on a very short list of all time greats from my perspective. Ring ability and an unrivaled mic skills.

Over a long time ago

Re: Rowdy Roddy Piper
Shit. I grew up with the 80's Rock-'n-Wrestling era--I hated Piper at the time because I was supposed to, but in retrospect he became one of my favorites. One of the best-developed personas, a guy who understood his role as an entertainer and played it to a T.
Plus he ad-libbed the greatest movie line of all time:

Rowdy Roddy was my pledge name in college. Never really knew why. I think it's just because my pledge dad found a kilt he wanted me to wear. (That was how we did fraternity pledge names. They picked them on Halloween and dressed us up).
Totally Kafkaesque
