top 3 heel of all time. Piper's Pit with Snuka -- when I was 11, that blew my mind.

I wonder to whom he willed his bucket of chestnuts.Must have had one too many unpaid parking tickets :(Not the Maniac!
He was in remission from that , as far as I knew.Hodgkins Lymphoma. One of my cousins died of that almost 20 years ago, but he was only 28. Sucks as much now as it did then.
He was always walked a fine line between being very sharp and being mentally insane.GroveDiesel said:He was just on the Rich Eisen show last week. He seemed physically healthy. Mentally...he obviously took a lot of hits to the head.

Piper definitely did roids. If you see how his body transformed from the early 80s to the early 90s and it's pretty apparent. He was never huge or overly cut, but he became much more muscular and much more cut over that time.Someone mentioned roids. If Piper was on them he sucked at it. He was in decent shape at one point but he was nevwr ripped like the guys these days.
RIP Rowdy
I guess I had stopped watching by then. When I watched he was like everybody else kind of athletic but not all bulked out. Even had a bit of a gut as I recall.Piper definitely did roids.

No no no. A Hot Rod and a Steamboat are similar, but she takes the dump on different parts of your body.Is that Steamboat?Classic photo of the men behind the performers...

Yep, Steamboat and Piper were Flair's groomsmen. I'm guessing that's Flair's first wedding. (He's had four of them.)Is that Steamboat?Classic photo of the men behind the performers...

In full disclosure though, Flair has been married like a hundred and twelve times so basically anyone he ever defended his belt against was a groomsman at some point.Classic photo of the men behind the performers...
