7 Must-See Roddy Piper Matches

The passing of Roddy Piper has been especially hard on those of us who grew up in the Northeast during the late 1980s and ‘90s. Roddy was truly larger than life, and it’s hard to express just what he meant to me as a wrestling fan. I’m planning to write a retrospective piece on the “Hot Rod” within the next few days, and in preparation I began watching all the Roddy tapes I could find. Of course “tapes” means “internet” in 2015, so I figured I might as well share my findings with the good people at Cheap-Heat.com. Roddy Piper was more than just a man in a kilt who cracked coconuts and told jokes—he was an outstanding professional wrestler.
