I'd seen Roddy before, but yeah I had no clue who Morton was but they did a great job of building up what a douchebag he was, and then Roddy comes out and pulls out that fire extinguisher...

fatherdog posted:[url=https://instagram.com/p/50bZxhoh0d/] Is it just me or does everyone else think The Rock should quit calling himself DJ? Also Ronda is gonna shoot a promo in ring entirely in Spanish because that's what you do in Brazil while making her opponent submit and make the entire crowd boo and wish for her death. Roddy would be proud.

gently caress this gay earth I was just thinking about They Live a few hours ago. Somehow I've seen that film a million times but never get around to watching any of the popular blockbusters of the last few years.

I read a good story about that one. Apparently the fire extinguisher was dummied to do a relatively harmless blast, but Rod swapped it with a real one when no one was looking, and kind of smothered Morton with so much CO2 that he couldn't breathe. He was also actually going to smash Morton with the can until Gorilla Monsoon screamed "RODDY NO!"

Piper's reaction to winning the ic title from the Mountie is probably the most pure emotion I've seen in the ring.

So when Macho Man died it was lovely because I became a fan as an adult. Same with Dusty. But Piper was my guy as a kid. So this is bullshit. This is such bullshit.

A went to count how many people are dead in that pic and realized most of them are still alive, which at this point I think is the more surprising statistic Edit: okay recounting I still think more than 50% are still alive but it's a lot closer than I thought That DICK! fucked around with this message at 04:07 on Aug 1, 2015 |

The best part was after that mission, you could call Roddy up to fight with you at any time. He'd even have conversations with other people too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5CsIvOlW2M [Skip to 5:53]

Didn't Roddy beat cancer more than once? Not that this makes it any less tragic but that really takes it out of people.

My favorite "signature hold" of all time may well still be the simple elegance of Roddy Piper poking someone in the eyes. The buildup, the anticipation, and the timing was always exemplary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B64vHLuUkio RIP, Roddy, and thank you for so much.

Great White Hope posted:What about the Jericho match where he called him a motherfucker? I don't even remember who won that all I remember is Roddy going over the ropes, getting his arm caught in the ropes, and then unleashing a bunch of vulgarity that sounded like a Yosemite Sam tirade. I'm gonna miss that dude
