Roddy Piper Biography
Roddy Piper is one of the most popular and richest Wrestler who was born on April 17, 1954 in Saskatoon, Canada. He was known as “Rowdy Roddy Piper” and was one of the World Wrestling Federation’s most prominent wrestlers in the 1990s.

Roderick George “Roddy” Toombs (April 17, 1954 – July 31, 2015) was a Canadian professional wrestler and actor, better known by his ring name “Rowdy” Roddy Piper.
Piper was a boxer and an amateur wrestler before he started to become a professional wrestler, and won the Golden Gloves boxing championship. He was awarded a black belt in Judo from Gene LeBell. He started wrestling under the care of promoter Al Tomko in Canada, his first match involving “midget wrestlers” in front of a lumberjack audience in Churchill, Manitoba. He soon began earning money wrestling while still going to school. His first match in a famous organization was with Larry Hennig in the American Wrestling Association (AWA). Friends of his played the bagpipes during his entrance while he was handing out dandelions; meanwhile, the ring announcer had to announce something, but all he knew was that Piper’s name was Roddy. Subsequently, after seeing the pipe band, he announced, “Ladies and gentlemen, here comes Roddy the piper.” This gave birth to the name “Roddy Piper”. From 1973 to 1975, Piper was a jobber in the American Wrestling Association (AWA), NWA Central States territory surrounding Kansas City, and in the Maritimes. He also worked in Texas for Paul Boesch’s NWA Houston Wrestling promotion, and in Dallas for Fritz Von Erich’s Big Time Rasslin.
He had four children and married Kity Toombs in 1982.
