Summary:  "In early 2015, Roderick Toombs, aka Rowdy Roddy Piper, began researching his own autobiography with a trip through Western Canada. He was re-discovering his youth, a part of his life he never discussed during his 61 years, many spent in pro wrestling. Following his death due to a heart attack that July, two of his children took on the job of telling Roddy's story. Already an accomplished wrestler before Wrestlemania in 1985, Roddy Piper could infuriate a crowd like no 'heel' before him. The principal antagonist to all-American champion Hulk Hogan, Piper used his quick wit, explosive ring style and fearless baiting of audiences to push pro wrestling to unprecedented success. Roddy Piper wanted to write this book for his family; now they have written it for him."--Provided by publisher. "Although he was Canadian, because of his Scottish heritage he was billed as coming from Glasgow and was known for his signature kilt and bagpipe entrance music. He earned the nicknames "Rowdy" and "Hot Rod" by displaying his trademark "Scottish" rage, spontaneity, and quick wit. Piper was described by industry veteran Ric Flair as "the most gifted entertainer in the history of professional wrestling"; he is regarded by many as the greatest wrestling villain of all time. He was also an actor with over 50 screen credits, including the lead role of John Nada in John Carpenter's 1988 cult classic, They Live, and a recurring role as a deranged professional wrestler on the FX comedy series It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia"--From wikipedia.org website.
