6. Rowdy Roddy Piper – It’s Not A Skirt!
Piper was an amateur boxer and wrestler before committing to the latter. A talented young athlete, he won the Golden Gloves Boxing Championship and gained a black belt in Judo. By the age of 15, he made his professional wrestling debut in Winnipeg, Canada. Piper had some big moments with Vince McMahon in the early-mid 1980s as he was featured as a villain. With his memorable set of bag pipes and dressed in a kilt, Piper remained in the wrestling spotlight until his passing in 2015. Along the way he amassed many appearances in television shows and movies. Although he never had any big blockbuster films, Piper was an undeniable personality who electrified audiences each and every time he stepped inside the ring.
