Obviously, many many people in and out of wrestling are in shock over the passing of the great “Rowdy” Roddy Piper on Friday afternoon. Piper’s passing has been picked up by several media outlets including CNN, Variety, ESPN, Deadspin, and many others.
I am going to assume that WWE will be doing a big tribute to Piper on Monday.
