10 Famous people you didn’t know passed away in 2015 (With Pictures)

5. Roddy Piper

One of the things people often forget about any classic good guy/bad guy struggle is that the good guy’s victory can only mean something if it means more that the bad guy loses. Such was the case for Roddy Piper, who should arguably receive more credit for building Hulk Hogan’s epic career than even Hogan himself. Despite never holding the WWE World Title, Piper is considered one of the all-time greatest, and perhaps the finest talker in the history of the business. He finished his career as a loved and appreciated good guy and despite taking breaks to make movies like They Live, Piper could never stay away from the live crowd too long. Piper succumbed to cardiac arrest on July 31, 2015.
