EDIT............. Proven to be a false story!
Sorta Joe related... As reported from WrestleCrap - The Very Worst of Pro Wrestling As reported yesterday, WWE Hall of Famer "Rowdy" Roddy Piper was recently forced to pull out of a number of previously scheduled appearances as a result of a serious illness. In a sad update on the situation, I can confirm that his cancer has returned. However, this time it's believed to be terminal as he's not expected to live much longer. According to a well-placed source within World Wrestling Entertainment, Vince McMahon has informed creative to prepare to scrap a segment or two for next week's Raw as he is planning on running a few video tributes honoring the wrestling legend — just in case. Piper, 55, was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in November 2006 after doctors found a cancerous tumour on a disc in his spine. Back discomfort had forced Piper to leave WWE's tour of Europe and return to North America in order to undergo surgery. In the weeks that followed, Piper spent the majority of his time in a local hospital, undergoing extensive radiation treatment in hopes of vanquishing the cancer that had invaded his body. While the cancer would eventually disappear, as noted, it recently returned. |

Terrible news. Poor Piper. He's had quite a battle with this. I do feel for him and his family.

Man has the swagger and charisma of ten mortal men. Hope he gets better, or failing that, at least gets to go peacefully. |

He should put that Cancer in the Sleeper hold. Even Hogan couldn't get out of that thing!
This man has had a great career. The Hot Rod was always one of my favorites. As a kid, I couldn't WAIT for Piper's Pit.
