6. R.I.P. Roddy Piper and Dusty Rhodes
This year the WWE lost two legends and Hall of Famers in “Rowdy” Roddy Piper and “The American Dream” Dusty Rhodes. Piper was known all over the world as an actor and professional wrestler. He held the WWF Intercontinental and Tag Team championships, and the wrestling federation named Piper as the “top villain in wrestling history”. The loss of Dusty Rhodes was especially difficult for the WWE family because the Dream worked closely with NXT talent at the time of his passing. Dusty held the NWA World Heavyweight Championship three times and was inducted into the WWE and WCW Halls of Fame. His sons Dustin (Goldust) and Cody (Stardust) are both WWE superstars.
