Even after I stopped watching pro wrestling as a teenager, I'd still occasionally catch a promo show here and there. I saw enough to appreciate the talents of Roddy Piper. He had a natural charisma and a knack for trash-talking that rivaled the best.
He starred in one of my favorite 80s cult classic movies, "They Live", about a regular Joe discovering via a special pair of sunglasses that the world is being subliminally controlled by aliens.
Died in his sleep of a heart attack. Rest in peace.
