À propos de cet audio

The biggest pro wrestling bio since Bret Hart's Hitman: legendary Rowdy Roddy Piper's unfinished autobiography, reconceived and completed by his children, wrestler/musician Ariel Teal Toombs and wrestler Colt Baird Toombs.

In early 2015, Roderick Toombs, aka Rowdy Roddy Piper, began researching his own autobiography with a trip through Western Canada. He was rediscovering his youth, a part of his life he never discussed during his sixty-one years, many spent as one of the greatest talents in the history of 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, separating fact from fiction in the extraordinary life of their father.

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. An actor with over fifty screen credits, including the lead in John Carpenter's number one cult classic, They Live, Piper knew how to keep fans hungry, just as he'd kept them wishing for a complete portrait of his most unusual life. He wanted to write this book for his family; now they have written it for him.

After finishing this audiobook, it strikes me what an incredible job Ariel and Colt have done in honoring their father.

I've watched every Piper documentary and interview I could get my hands on. What makes this book so valuable, is how it dispells some mythology, while making the story even more interesting.

The book is unapologetically honest about the struggles Roddy went through, substances he injested, and pain he endured. It never felt too heavy to continue, but you feel deeply for him, most of the time.

Ultimately, it is a story grounded in love. The love of a family for their father and husband, and the father for his family.

I think he would be very proud of the job his family has done in his honor.

Hugs your kids.
