One of the great wrestling entertainers and was good in that "B" flick "They Live" about aliens living amongst us exposed by his shades.

Of wrestling and Charity. Roddy was a giver - he spend more time helping kids and cancer victims then he did knocking skulls. He flew all the way from California to do a benefit for Golisano Children's Hospital, in the middle of shooting a movie. Stopped into do alive interview for the local Pain Clinic talk wrestling radio show, then took the red-eye back home.
He was truly one of the good guys - always helping others.
Canada can be proud of their Rowdy one.
Connection to tonight's fight with Rowdy Rhonda Rousey - look for her to have some kind of tribute to him before her match. My bet is she comes to the ring in a kilt, maybe bagpipes?

61 seems to be an advanced age for ex-wrestlers. Hell, ex-boxers seem to live longer as a group....if you can excuse the Parkinson's, Dimentia, etc.

John Carpenter films rate better than "b flick". Really fun movie and Roddy was perfect for the role.

Piper's Pit was the greatest. It was really the start of what you see in wrestling today. In the past, they just wrestled.
