I didn't pay a lot of attention to him as a wrestler, but I though he was very for in 'They Live'

Wow. These guys just don't live long.

They Live is a classic, believe it or not. It's still talked about in the movie buff community. I can't believe there weren't any sequels or he didn't get any more big movie parts afterwards.

Having had a heart attack, it wasn't peaceful. It hurts like Original Sin, and I didn't even have a bad one, I'm told.

I enjoyed his movie work, since you could tell he didn't take the whole pretend thing that seriously. I always wondered why he didn't do more.

Shoot, i still remember Hogan vs Piper in Starcade and Piper vs the NWO as a kid. This sucks. All my wrestling heroes are going and gone.

So sorry to heart this. Still such a young man.

I'm glad you reminded us about "They Live", one of the greatest John Carpenter Sci-Fi movies ever and a direct precursor to the Matrix.


Roddy Piper forcing Keith David to take the Red Pill

The epic fight scene was something else ...

They Live (2/4) They Live Fight Scene - FULL (Explicit Language) (1988)

While obviously anti-consumer and anti-capitalist in its intent, the world has literally caught up with the movie and its message is far more applicable today ...

... Especially "OBEY".

Dangit ... 61 ????? ... I’ve met him numerous times (about 10-12 years ago), I thought he was 60+ then... had no idea he was my age. High mileage, he definitely squeezed every drop out of life, he was a dynamo ... non-stop, big smile and a new plan or deal with every step he took.
RIP kilted one, you were “One of a Kind”

God rest his soul and comfort his loved ones.

That said, I'm proud to say I hadn't a clue of who he was....

"Rod passed peacefully in his sleep last night," Piper's agent Jay Schacter told Variety.

Was he there?
