Wrestling legend 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper's greatest hits and promos "Rowdy" Roddy Piper was a tremendous talent. And it wasn't only in the ring. The WWE Hall of Famer, who died Thursday night at the age of 61 in Hollywood, Calif., was a marvel at the microphone. Here are some of his greatest performances, while in the ring and out of it. The first is the legendary "Piper's Pit" segment with Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka. https://youtu.be/GKXpSyjfIik Piper with Bob Orton as Hulk Hogan interrupts their boxing banter. https://youtu.be/pZ6OJOoosdI With the legendary Bruno Sammartino in Madison Square Garden in 1985 https://youtu.be/VHlg-WIk01s An encounter with Andre the Giant. https://youtu.be/x_9ByHQ6PAY A match with "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff on "Saturday Night's Main Event." https://youtu.be/V9V5br1QhMs The iconic WrestleMania 1 main event. https://youtu.be/anj6wVgXUWA And, the good old days . . .

That was his final appearance. https://youtu.be/K5FZCkyTq0Y He died in his sleep of a heart attack. I grew up watching these guys. Kind of scary all the wrestlers I knew are dying. R.I.P. Roddy
