411’s Wrestling Hall of Fame Class of 2007: “Rowdy” Roddy Piper


411’s Wrestling Hall of Fame Class of 2007: “Rowdy” Roddy Piper

The man known to millions as the “Hot Rod” is synonymous with his trademark kilt and wild attitude. He was a major player in the rock and wrestling days, and just when you thought you knew him, the questions changed. Today Roddy Piper joins the 411 Wrestling Hall of Fame.

Why Roddy Piper was selected…Roddy Piper was one of the main components that made Hulk Hogan and WrestleMania so big and successful. The man was good at his job, excellent on the mic and flat out, he was hated. That hate quickly turned to respect and Piper had a new life in wrestling. So feel that his legacy was tarnished over the last 8 years with his run in WCW and then insane ramblings on TNA PPV's, but it looks like the legacy of his early career still carries a lot of respect and enough love to gain him entry into the 411 Hall of Fame.
