Piper all the way. The Carolinas are Piper Country. That guy could back up Whatever he said. And when he wrestled, he went all out. Last thing anybody wanted to do was to get in the ring w/ Roddy when he was on fire. He also good on the Mic. The man had no filter, he said what he really needed to say and had no filter/never sugar coated anything.
Anyone get really into this 80's and early 90's? As a kid growing up I couldnt get enough of it. I have since graduated to watching MMA, but back in the day, other than Van Damme movies this was my passion. And my favorite one of all time was the guy who came out like a maniac and made you think he was gonna kill anything in his path. The Ulitmate Warrior! There were several old school guys I loved, but he was my fave! Anyone else have favorites?
"To be the man, you gotta beat the man" Wooooooo!
Some of his "bouts" with Lex Luger in the now defunct WCW were classics.
OH wow, thats a classic. He would always eat the turnbuckle lol.
Few people know he had a master degree and was actually a school teacher. That is why we only saw him in summer months (regularly) and PPVs that were on week-ends.
Is when wrestling was big for me. I loved mankind, but hated when my brothers would pull Mr. Socko on me 
*shudders* lol
I also vividly remember going through my "IT DOESN'T MATTER!!!!" stage lmfao seriously the answer to any question. Pissed my mom off, annoyed my brothers, and it made me laugh so hard! I guess it still has that effect on me, because I am laughing so hard right now!
Oh man, I remember lifting weights all week and then watching the old wrestling based in Charlotte on Saturday afternoons. It blew me away that Ric Flair was making 500K just for walking around and going "Whoooooo!" Magnum T.A. was cool too, with his killer mullet. Ivan Koloff, Arn and Olie Anderson, and Jimmy "The Boogie Woogie Man!" I actually went to a live show once just for grins, had free tickets. It was just like your first pro football game, total amazement at how small everything really was. I also remember going to see Bruce Lee movies as a kid with my friends. Then we'd all go and kick the crap outta each other in the front yard! Ah, remember when ya were young and indestructable? Those were the days! Thanks for bringing back those memories.
None of this fake HGH induced low IQ nonsense. And to you ladies who think you're pretty tough while you punch and kick a hanging bag in a gym somewhere....,Bring it on. A middle aged out of shape former varsity wrestler will have you pinned on the bed in no time.
Late 70's. Rasslin' came to my small college in MO. Ox Baker came to the frat house to drink post matches with his manager. He left about 2 days later. He was in 'Escape From NY' with Kurt Russell too. RIP.

My brother loved this guy when I was growing up. LOL, I remember walking in one day when young and David said, "Cis" Let me show you "The CLAW"......Next thing I knew I was thrown over his head into a piece of furniture. All in fun, yet it drove my Mother nuts! Love the memories of childhood. Kelley
Who hasnt done the CLAW to their younger sibling. I know I have! And I had little sisters hehe. Those are good memories. I still tease her to this day.
