No, I don't follow wrestling much anymore but in my youth I lived and died by the soap opera exploits of the WWF. And sure, I liked Hulk Hogan and Randy "Macho Man" Savage just fine, but my favorite was the gregarious and outrageous (and outrageously evil) Hot Rod.
Oh, and I would be remiss if I didn't mention his movie career. And while he did a bunch of flicks, only one really matters - They Live. If you have never seen the movie They Live, well, I don't really know what to say other than go freaking watch it. You'll thank me later.

Good night, sweet prince. I will be chewing some bubblegum and kicking some ass in your honor this weekend.

I think the 1985 Topps WWF sets is one of the most underrated sets of all-time. Great checklist. As for Piper, I couldn't stand him as a kid, but wrestling fans around the world lost an icon today.
