Oh no, terrible news. He just did an anniversary appearance not long ago in Philadelphia for the movie They Live. And of course I missed it!

 

[Snakebreaker]

Wow. Just saw that myself. Always enjoyed watching him perform in wrestling and movies.

He chewed bubble gun and kicked ass.

RIP

"I have come here.... To... Kickass, and chew bubblegum. I'm aaaaalllll out of bubblegum."

Rowdy one, thanks for the memories! R.I.P.

Probably the best wrestler ever with a mic in his hand.

R.I.P. Hot Rod.

Hot Rod was the man, I loved seeing him on the fantasy factory tv show.

He said something that sticks with me, " if you go out there and try to do good it could go either way, if you go out there an give them your heart, you can't lose"

Childhood heroes should live forever. RIP ROWDY RODDY PIPER

Agreed RIP, loved watching him as a kid. They Live is one of my favorite movies.

Also from the age of early Portland television, the recent passing of Rusty Nails. 1950's and 60's clown who was Matt Groening's inspiration for Krusty...;-)

I remember a Swamp Rat t-shirt at one time that had that quote on it. Wish I had picked one up.
Got to watch They Live this weekend.

 

[Thomas Carey]

Been following his podcasts for a few years now. I was totally shocked when I heard the news.

He was pretty cool... RIP Hot Rod
