Page 6A RECORDS East Oregonian Oregon pro wrestling icon Roddy Piper dies By DAN GELSTON AP Sports Writer “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, the kilt wearing trash talker who headlined the ¿rst WrestleMania and later found movie stardom, has died, the WWE said Friday. He was 61. WWE had no additional details. Piper, born Roderick Toombs, was the second WWE Hall of Famer to die this summer following the June death of Dusty Rhodes. Piper’s death also comes days after Hulk Hogan, his biggest rival for decades, was ¿red by the WWE. Hogan had used racial slurs in a conversation captured on a sex tape. Piper and Hogan battled for years and headlined some of the biggest matches during the 1980s. Hogan and Mr. T defeated Piper and Paul Orndorff on March 31, 1985, at the ¿rst WrestleMania at Madison Square Garden. Piper was a villain for the early portion of his career, once cracking a coconut over the skull of Jimmy “SuperÀy” Snuka. He later starred in the movie “They Live.” WWE chairman Vince McMahon called Piper “one of the most entertaining, controversial and bombastic performers ever in WWE, beloved by millions of fans around the world.” Piper also went by the nickname “Hot Rod” during his career. Although he was Canadian, he often appeared in a kilt and came to the ring AP Photo/Charles Sykes, File In this March 31, 2009 file photo, former profes- sional wrestlers Ric Flair, left, and Roddy Piper at- tend the 25th Anniversa- ry of WrestleMania press conference in New York. blowing bagpipes in a nod to his Scottish heritage. Piper was best known for his lengthy career with the World Wrestling Feder- ation, now the WWE. He had more than 30 titles to his name and was inducted into the company’s Hall of Fame in 1985. “Saddened about the passing of “Rowdy” Roddy Piper,” tweeted Paul “Triple H” Levesque, a wrestler and top WWE executive. “He was truly a legend and icon, and will never be forgotten... #ThankYouRoddy #RIP.” Piper became a house- hold name because of his rivalry with Hogan, and the involvement of pop star Cyndi Lauper and her friend Captain Lou Albano, also a wrestler. The feud led to an MTV special “The War to Settle the Score” in 1985.

She would now be living her life in a wheelchair. She adjusted to life in a wheelchair with such courage, Miller optimism and faith. She did not let it get her down.

She worked at Thomas and Mack for 22 years. She loved helping children and was a volunteer for CASA in Las Vegas. In 1993 she was honored with the Clark County Volunteer of the Year award for her work with CASA. Cricket enjoyed acting and went to acting school.
