Rowdy Roddy Piper died
Some of you may know him as the famous kilted wrestler for the WWF back in the its time. He wore the kilt, and always had bagpipe entrance music blared as he made his appearances in the rings. He was one of my favorite wrestlers when I was a kid. RIP.

Sad news indeed. He was also the main character in John Carpenter's film "They Live." RIP!

While I have not been "professional" wrestling fan since I was about 10, I noticed with interest that Roddy and I were born in the same city, Saskatoon, less than a year apart.

Despite not being a big wrestling fan, I got many calls and messages about this, yesterday. Some people must think that all Kilt wearers know each other.
I was however a big fan of They Live!. Great movie which like all good science fiction made you think.
