"Rowdy" Roddy Piper (April 17, 1954 – July 31, 2015) was a Canadian professional wrestler who is best remembered as a heel during his initial run with the World Wrestling Federation (now WWE), although he also wrestled as both a heel and a babyface in several National Wrestling Alliance-affiliated promotions prior to joining the WWF in 1984. He was also the main villain of the Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n' Wrestling cartoon.
