The Man, the Myth, the Legend Vol. 3: Rowdy Roddy Piper

2. Trained in Judo by a fighting legend

Roddy Piper and "Judo" Gene Lebell

If you're a fan of martial arts films or MMA, you've probably heard of the legendary Judo Gene Lebell. The actor, stuntman, pro wrestler, and martial arts master is notorious for putting Steven Seagal to sleep with a rear naked choke hold and defeating Bruce Lee in a sparring bout.

He also trained Roddy Piper in Judo, and the Rowdy One managed to ascend to first Dan black belt. Piper's Judo skills were evident in his stunt work, but he usually relied more on brawling during his matches.
