R.I.P Roddy Piper

[Lover Boy]

Wrestling legend "Rowdy" Roddy Piper has died at the age of 61... TMZ Sports has learned.

Piper -- born Roderick George Toombs -- passed away from natural causes at a home in Hollywood.

Piper was a wrestling icon -- one of the biggest stars in the WWE back in the '80s, and even wrestled in "Wrestlemania I" back in 1985 ... squaring off against Hulk Hogan and Mr. T.

Piper had been diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma in 2006, but last November he said he was cancer free.

Roddy was admitted into the WWE Hall of Fame back in 2005 and was one of the top 50 villains in the history of the WWE .

Roddy had 4 kids -- including his son Colton who's pursuing a career in professional wrestling.

Well i just mean the older guys in general. Plus, a 61 year old and a 61 year old who wrestled his entire life are completely different. Not that it had anything to do with his death but we gotta keep in mind that alot of the older guys arent in great shape

True enough. Same for actors, musicians and anyone else that's famous and old. Bad times for people who grew up in the 80's and 90's for sure.
