Hi there! I’m his daughter and I just wanted to say thank you for being so respectful at his grave and for honoring him! This was a cool video to watch. I just subscribed because I can already tell I love your channel! 😊
Sweetheart!! Thank You!!! Your Daddy Was SO LOVED!!!
Why was He Buried in Oregon? & Why Did He Get So Bloated in The Gut???
He is a legend and whom me and my dad loved to watch fight. His memory will live on forever.
@@poohbearsauntie thank you so much! It brings me so much joy to see the love for him. ❤️
@@WisdomOverWicked777Rules Great questions! Oregon was home. He needed to be buried at home ❤️ As far as the bloat that’s a mystery I don’t think we’ll ever know. His health was always very complicated.
"They Live" was a classic!
Is
So true. I love watching it over and over. One of my favorite films.
They live is a classic and loved playing the game 'Duke nukem' using the famous quotes from the movie.
Yes. It hit me real hard too. Growing up watch him in wrestling was a joy. That bubble gum line in They Live was ad-libbed by him
Dam bro you just made me realize my age
He was one of my all time favorite WWF wrestlers. Wrestle Mania 1 Roddy Piper and Paul Orndorff vs. Hulk Hogan and Mr. T was fantastic
I met roddy at a convention 2 months before he passed away.He was one of the nicest guys I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting.We talked for a bit and he made me laugh right away after meeting him.I was devastated to see he passed shortly after.I grew up watching wrestling as a kid and looked up to him.So when I did meet him it was an epic moment in my life.Miss you roddy.
Most of those wrestlers guys are, a huge contrast to the characters they play.
WAS HIS GUT STILL BLOWED UP
@@WisdomOverWicked777Rules no he looked great ,I still have the picture
One of my favorite bad guy RIP brother
Mr Piper was a wonderful actor and wrestler. I miss his presence.
What a shame
He beat my friend up
He had that "it", no doubt about it.
I grew up watching him on Saturday nights on Portland Wrestling on KPTV! My dad and I (who I didn't have a lot else in common with) would stay up, pop popcorn, and watch the matches together. Piper was always one of my favorites and "They Live" is one of my favorite movies of all time. RIP to a true legend!
When I was six I met him at a con
We took a picture together
And he let me wear his hall of fame ring
Rip piper ✌️
Roddy's death hit me hard. I was about 11 years old during the Piper vs Hogan/Cindy Lauper feud and WM1 and rooted for him. He was so entertaining. I grew up following wrestling because of Piper. He was part of my childhood and I grew up watching his movies, listening to him on his podcasts, read his autobiography, and etc. Unfortunately, I never made it to a convention to meet him. I wish I had. RIP Piper!
I am friends with Kitty and Ariel...Roddy was a great guy,and even a greater Dad.....
Yeah, what ever.
@@henryfung6789 You have a troll site with no videos, and he has a real TH-cam site with content. Hmmmm....who should we believe? lol
@@henryfung6789 Fung you

I was a huge WWF wresting fan back in the 80's! I loved the show they put on and the amazing wrestlers. This gives me feels.
I remember the day he died . I had just rewatched They Live the night before. He will always be one of the best.
Roddy was entering a whole new level of fame when tragedy struck.his podcast was a real diamond in the ruff in the 2015's
John Carpenter's They Live is one of my favorite movies, Piper was one of my mom's favorite wrestlers and actually saw him once when she was a kid, Piper was better on the mic than every new pro wrestler by far
I got to see him wrestle goldust the backlot brawl wrestlemania 14 it was amazing
He was greater than great! Greater than Hogan, Flair, Andre and more! And he was the greatest to never win the WWF Championship! Great actor too! And the man could legit sing!
At a loss for words. A statement no one ever said about the Rowdy one. Such a quick wit. One of my favorite things was when they were doing an interview and Vince said just how low will you go. He said well I came on this show. Just a perfect response.
@@chapingaryjr the story behind that match is hilarious as told by Dustin Runnels (gold dust).
@@chapingaryjr that was wrestlemania 12
That was some Movie. Everyone should watch it at least once. It was ahead of its time.
Was more a documentary then a movie. Carpenter and Piper both said it. Look for Piper interview with his son on youtube about nwo.
We all see that movie every day we wake up and do our routine.
As a child I hated this man but as I grew, I grew to really have a special place in my heart. It was confirmed for me when Roddy was a guest on Kim Russo's
The Haunting of: Roddy Piper. Man, that episode touched me most. I really loved the life you made with your lovely wife and beautiful family. 💜
Piper was entertaining, because he knew how to work a crowd. He was an absolute master of the rapid fire insult. The "Dope on a rope" skit he did with Bruce Pritchard (A.K.A Brother Love or Blubber Love as Piper dubbed him) still makes me smile.
The coolest villain in wrestling history. In Mid Atlantic, he was the most entertaining and evil bad guy. He made people mad as hell in one second flat and was pure gold on the mic. We loved him as a heel then and the fans could not understand why we cheered him so wildly. R.I.P. Roderick, you were simply the greatest I ever had the pleasure to watch and cheer for.
"I've come here to chew bubble gum and kick some ass and I am all out of bubble gum."
There will never be another Roddy Piper. A great wrestler and a true legend. So glad he passed the Rowdy name to Ronda Rousey.
its a shame he let ronda use the name , adrian gave roddy that jacket and now its disgraced by the piece of shit person ronda is
Rest In Peace rowdy roddy piper.
This is the first vid of yours I've seen. Absolutely love it. I love how your very respectful to Roddy's grave. Not many people are respectful these days. Piper will always be loved, remembered and never forgotten.
I miss him. He really made wrestling amazing for my kids and I. Thank you.
Ah the golden age of the WWF
Loved him as a wrestler & glad I got to meet him. He exceeded my expectations & felt like I knew him for many years. So down to earth and miss him so much!
The fight scene between him and Keith David in The Live was incredible. He was great in that movie and i still watch it a couple times a year. I remember Piper's Pit and Roddy was just so animated and talented as a wrestling performer. His skits are legendary. He was so popular with all the fans, he had that special talent. John Carpenter always picked the right guy for the lead role in his movies and choosing Roddy for They Live was a classic choice.
Absolutely one of the greatest ever! He will be sadly missed! Ride high Hot Rod!
Met him a few times at cons and he was THE most wonderful guest to meet. I've met over 100 people at cons but I always said Piper was the guy you walked away thinking it was more his pleasure to meet me than mine. He was just that warm and welcoming. The last time I met him he signed my They Live mask, and he seemed just a tad off or his mind was cloudy. 5 months later he died, and I had no idea he was battling a disease. I'm sure he was medicated last time I met him yet he was still so warm, caring, and great to his fans.
I met him 2 weeks before he died at his final autograph signing. He was so happy and full of life that day. 2 weeks to the day later he died. You are right about how nice he was. I have met many celebs, many wrestlers and he easily was the nicest. Took his time with every fan that day.
There are some dudes when they go you just know you ain’t ever gonna see a dude like that again. Roddy is one of those dudes. I’ll miss his energy, his spirit. He really was a free spirit in every sense of the term. I may never have met him but he’ll always be one of my wrestling heroes from those care-free, and happy days in the 80’s.
Didn't he say "They Live" was a documentary? He also knew he wasn't going to make 65, according to an interview by him. This man was a legend while he was alive! You just keep reaffirming why I love your channel Grimm. RIP to a truly Great man! 🥥🍌🍍
He had a host of health issues and not all from wrestling. He even had cancer. It wasn’t hard to think that he won’t live to be really old. Wrestling back then was a hard business and even harder on your body. You were on the road 300 days out of the year. You usually wrestled hurt for weeks or months before you could get time off. Taking too much time off could be a career killer in some cases. Also you didn’t get paid if your not wrestling.
Thankfully the business is better now.
Thanks for finding him and allowing us all to pay our respects through you.......definitely one of your 'quieter' vids and he obviously did mean a lot to you as he did to many of us. There's certainly enough of his colleagues who've passed way too young who he'll have for company, rest easy Hot Rod ! And remember "They Live !" !!!
I am so glad you found his final resting place. It had always been reported when I had looked or heard of his passing that his ashes were spread on his farm that he felt the most at peace, his wife Kitty's words. He was an amazing wrestler, actor and human being. A&E did a documentary on him recently, it is a great watch. His death got to me as well. Had his tombstone not said 2015 I would swear it hadn't been that long.
Now hes with Adrian Adonis his best friend.. Who in death saved Roddys life and his entire family. Wanna know how? Go find the show he did with the paranormal lady at his house.
What was the name of the show?
“Loud noises make the squirrels go in my head and I don’t fight in the ring anymore, but I still fight with the demons in The Maniac’s head”
Thank you for this . I grew up watching rowdy roddy Piper as a kid . I say he’s reunited with Mean Gene Oakerlund, Bobby The Brain Heenan , and Macho Man Randy Savage .
Growing up Rowdy Roddy Piper was my favorite wrestler. When My father lived up in Oregon, he said he had the chance to meet Rowdy. I was so jealous. I have not been up to Tigard for over a decade. 80's wrestling was the best. RIP Piper
I didn't know he had a gravemarker thank you for visiting him. . .always a fan. . .
This breaks a lot of people's hearts to see someone so genuine at rest. Death absolutely sucks, I do not like this concept. That movie "They Live" for some reason, has this odd combo of a B Movie and having real life themes. There is a quality to it and he was huge part of it that really works and never gets old.
I actually got to meet him when he was here. Without question, he was THE nicest wrestler I've ever met. He will always be sorely missed.
My condolences to the Piper family. I watched Mr. Piper as often as I could. He was a wrestling ICON.
Roddy was one of the best who ever laced up a pair of boots. The Harts were his cousins.
When you see Roddy playing the pipes, next to him is a family relative playing, Pipe Major Willie Cochran.
I was born in 1973 and grew up on Roddy in the mid-1980s during the WWF TV craze. He was truly unique amongst wrestlers with tons of personality. He was not only a heel, he was also THEE #1 guy to hate which just made us love him more.
I grew up in San Diego and would see him at Comic Con, I never got to spend much time with him, but I watched him interact with fans and he was always super cool. Class act and a special human being.
RIP HOT ROD...
I used to drive right by his house every day on the way to & from work (driving from Aloha to Tigard). RIP.
That's a Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake figure. C'mon!
I was literally yelling that at my TV set 😂😂
So glad I'm not the only nerve that knew that was Brutus the beef cake barber
Exactly!
Well they do have Jimmy Hart as their manager in common so I guess there is that but yeah its Brutus.
yeah it looks like it!
Rowdy Yes who remembers Piper's Pit with Superfly and he cracked him in the head with it !? And his road stories were Awesome . Let's keep the comments positive show some respect Please .
OMG I remember those. That was great.
@The Wolf King Yup. I think it was called Celebrity Ghost Stories?? I saw the Hot Rod episode. Well, some of it anyway bc I was channel surfing that evening
@The Wolf King Yes, it was the ghost of Adrian Adonis
Yes he deserves nothing but respect, he was & always will be remembered as a good wrestler, actor, man.
@@scottyellis3442 Scotty agreed I remember watching an old Doc and they were discussing Piper this that & other but what stuck out was Vince at that point in time had the Land of Giants so to speak and Piper even though 6ft 2 220 lbs Yes good size dude on street but Piper was small but he had that grit and the Balls IDGAF Attitude that kinda did level the playing field and one more thing that was my favorite He was a ' LOYAL GUY ' That's what it's about man sorry kinda went off blabbering bout nothing just got outta work all night so mad tired . Peace bro .
I don't understand how there can be a thumbs down on this video . You are so respectful to somebody's life's work . Thank you for what you do .
Just spotted this video, Rowdy was my favourite wrestling star too. I was lucky enough to see him live , when WWE (WWF back then) came to London for summer Slam. I was gutted to hear about his death i even had a little cry 😢 💔, it was so nice to see his last resting place, thank you for your lovely tribute to the great man.
I am seriously heartbroken seeing his grave
Thank you he was my favorite rest easy Hot Rod!
I actually talked with him on the phone during a AM radio show broadcast.
Never saw him wrestle live. One of my regrets of the 80s !
A Canadian flag, needs to be placed beside the stars and stripes. Good old boy from Saskatchewan Canada. Thanks for sharing this. Brought a tear to my eye
His biggest rivary was Hulk Hogan and boxed Mr. T at wrestlemania 2
They Live was one of the best movies ever … He made the movie what it was.. great actor ..
"The trash talking star got his start in WINNIPEG!" Legend!
Miss you Mr. Piper. Saw you live back in the 80s. True magic.
They live had one of the best fight scenes ever filmed. Thanks for this. Excellent synopsis of his life.
A legend. He was also in HELL COMES TO FROGTOWN.
Love that one!
Thank god someone else also remembered that movie I was getting scared. Piper isn't gone he is waiting in the ring for the next match with Macho Man. Ooooooohhhhhhh yyyyyeeeaaaaaahhhhhh DIG IT!
@@DL30Creationshe was super bas ass!!! need to get in on DVD!
I loved his role as Da'Maniac in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. One of the funniest surprise characters on that show, lol. RIP Piper.
My favorite thing he did in WWE was his interaction with Morton Downey Jr. with the fire extinguisher because Downey kept blowing cigarette smoke in his face.
Best heel of all time and a great baby face too. My all time favorite.
Piper was one the best ever. You loved to hat him. You never knew what he would say or do next .
Great blog grims of a unsung hero of many wrestling fans..
Thank you from gwyn and James harper Spokane Washington
We seem to love all same things.
I started watching wrestling when I was 3 yrs old.
I loved all the 80's ,- 90's wrestlers growing up.
Bret (the hitman) Hart is my all time fave as he and I born n raised in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
So many tough Canadian kids grew up to take the WWE by storm back in the day.
Thanx for another rad vid!
😎🤘
R.I.P Rowdy. 🌹🖤
As a fellow Oregonian, i do know that Oregon loved the "Hot Rod" as did the rest of the Wrestling World!!!
If you guys kreep into Portland be soooo rad to collabo! 😎 REST EASY ROWDY a TRUE Portland Oregon icon
So glad to see you guys in Oregon! Rowdy was an icon and his Role in They live is Legendary! The wife and I Adventure like you and Jessica along the west coast. Maybe one day we’ll cross paths
That’s very awesome I absolutely love Roddy piper One of my favorite wrestlers of all time I would love to visit his grave maybe on one of my travels I will do that
Much love to rowdy he know the truth and wasnt scared to share it God bless him
Piper used to own a Auto Repair Shop called "Piper's Pit Stop" located on 157th and Division in Portland. If I remember correctly there was a mural of Rowdy Roddy Piper on the front of the roll up door. I hope the two of you enjoyed your stay in Oregon? I'm looking forward to seeing more videos from your adventure.
So much respect and emotion in this video. As a pro wrestling fan, I appreciate this video so much. Thank you for sharing.
5:40 One of my favorite Piper quotes of all time. A perfect comedy relief in such a sad video.
He never got enough credit for wrestling and acting loved that guy
"They Live" will FOREVER be a defacto sci-fi cult classic!
In the 90’s Piper had a transmission repair shop in Portland Oregon called Piper’s pit stop. I’m not sure how successful it was but cool fact for you
Thank you for doing this video. I'm only 33, but, balled eyes out when he passed. He was an inspiration to me and my attitude. They Live is a great movie. ✌️❤️🤘
I loved Rowdy Roddy Piper in They Live. Such a good movie. I always laugh when he says the line, "I'm here to chew bubble gum and kick ass. I'm all out of bubble gum." So sad he's gone. He'll be greatly missed.
Rip! Good actor in "They live" along with Keith David aother legend of Hollywood! I hope you will make in the future a video about the final resting place of Chester Benington the vocalist from Linkin Park ! I miss him cause he had a unike voice and he was a true rockstar! No one will be like him! Respect for all who left us too soon! I hope they will find peace in the afterlife!
Darling.. His Name Is David Keith..
Great video, but I think that looked more like a Brutus the barber figure then it did Brett heart
That’s what I was thinking based on the arm sleeves
Definitely Brutus.
Hope he's resting with ease n peace...I always loved him as a person & a wrestler, the world n his family lost a good soul...much love
I meet Rowdy Roddy Piper in San Diego at the Comic-Con in 2002 I took a picture of him. I started watching wrestling on t.v. & live when it came to town. Rowdy fought Ravishing Rick Rude in a lumberjack match. I was sad to here Rowdy passing. I have my picture of him and the movies to remember him.❤🌹
He used to wave at my friends and I when we would pass by his auto body shop.
WHERE???
@@WisdomOverWicked777Rules It was in Southeast Portland.
@@coydiva I never heard of Piper working on cars before never saw it on any of his videos
He was actually Canadian , had a Scottish gimmick. One of the all time greats. Gone way too soon.
He was of Scottish decent. His parents were from Scotland, so the gimmick wasn’t a stretch. And he taught himself to play the bagpipes after lying to a promoter that he could. He was also an accomplished amateur boxer in his youth.
Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff just Passed away this morning . Now Rowdy Roddy Piper & Paul Orndorff are reunited . Those two were my all time favourites .
He was one of the best and one of my favorites.Each time an 80 s Wrestler passes it's it's like part of my childhood disappeares.
Met him twice at some horror conventions. Loved to tell stories and was a entertainer through and through. One of the nicest men you could meet. Sad to know he died a couple years later.
You are in Oregon and you wear "goonies" t-shirt....we know what is coming next as filming locations :)
Says the man who is the MASTER of filming locations!! Your work is amazing sir!!
@@bobroma thank you!
In the WWF "land of 1000 dances" video Piper says to Cyndi Lauper........"You can take the goonies, stick the Goonies up your nose", she was in the black wig
A little known fact was Roddy Piper was supposed to play the sherif along with actor Richard Tyson in a horror movie that stared Jonathon Davis from Korn who was supposed to play the Devil and appear in the cemetery in Kansas featured in Supernatural, but I can’t think of the name if the movie. Great video today! You did Hot Rod justice today!
Sin Jin Smith
Piper seemed so hurt by the loss of his friends now piper we are so hurt by your passing. We love you pal god bless you
There's only one Rowdy Piper! I miss him so much. He was always one of my very favourite wrestlers, and had an in-your-face personality that demanded to be reckoned with. Since his notorious scalping match in WrestleMania III in the Silver Dome at the Mall of America to his Sottish bagpipes marching band on then-WWF's Monday NIght Raw, he was quite a character - a real shining star. Everything he did was larger than life, and wherever he appeared became a Main Event. My most cherished Piper moment was the record-breaking extended fight scene in John Carpenter's "They Live", which took violent comedy to dizzying new heights! That was da bomb!, as Jesse from "Breaking Bad" would say. Piper was as entertaining an action hero on the silver screen as he was a major player in the ring. RIP, dear Rowdy. You're The Best!!!
A bit late to the party, but I had the honor of meeting him and his son, Colt, at Rock and Shock many moons ago.
Personable, friendly, genuine and delightful. We had to do two photos, because we both cracked up in the 1st. It broke my heart that he passed away.
I wanted to say that the action figure is Brutus the Barber Beefcake. (99% sure I had it when I was a kid).
Thank you for bringing us along for the trip; allowing me to pay my respect.
I'm subscribing now.
R.I.P. He was truly amazing, awesome tribute Michael
Nappa voice: vegetaaa are we there yet
I was very fortunate to have met Roddy at three conventions .Every time he was very frendly and thankful for his fans . The items I have that he signed are very much prized possessions of mine.
The greatest of all time gone too soon R.I.P. Hot Roddy 🏴 🔥 💪
I believe those are cedar trees of some sort. We named our Rhodesian Ridgeback after this magnificent guy Roddy was our favorite and I believe he was Irish
My Favorite Wrestler,who was not only Born in the same year,but also in April,a short Hours before I screamed,thats a nice Memory amongs the other good ones about the greatest Icon in WWF.Greetings to All his Fans .R.I.P. Roddy
Met him many times over the years he was such a good guy, very nice and always had time for the fans. First video I've seen of his grave, great job
Piper became my favorite wrestler the first time I saw him. Been a fan ever since. RIP Rowdy One. The Icon
At a horror con I worked he was one of the celebrity guests. I met him and talked for a few minutes, as nice guy as you could want to meet, truly. A big loss, very sad, Rest in Peace sir.
Loved him in the Movie They Live. One of my Favorites.
I am not a wrestling fan but it's very rare for me to watch wrestling but Roddy piper was.my favorite I use to love to watch him when I watched wrestling I even saw some of his movies may he be intertaining the angels in heaven our loss is heavens gain
Just became even bigger fans of you guys!!!! I’m only 31, so I was still too young to watch him wrestle, but boy do i know another him. He was legitimately one of the best talkers, toughest dudes in wrestling. Some say stone cold was tough, Piper was tougher. Dude had no problem telling people how it was, Even outside the ring. True badass 👏👏
Piper was one of my favs back in the day. He was a legend no doubt. He was so hyper and off the hook all the time. Pipers pit was awesome!!! How many times did that pit get trashed from him going off on someone! A lot!!
It was a shame you never got to meet him. I met him nine months before his passing and he is one of the nicest celebrities I ever got to meet.
Thank you for doing this video. He was one of my FAVORITE wrestlers from back in the day. Rest in forever peace. ❤
