10 WWE Superstars who beat cancer

#5. Roddy Piper

Roddy Piper is arguably the greatest of all time

WWE Legend ‘Rowdy’ Roddy Piper is an inspiration to almost everyone who is familiar with pro-wrestling. He was one of the greatest performers to ever step inside the squared circle.

In 2006, the entire world came to know that he is battling against low-grade 2A lymphoma. Roddy underwent rigorous treatment over the course of the next few weeks that included twenty sessions – radiations and chemotherapy.

Three years later, in an interview with Milford Daily, he went on to talk about his treatment and recovery from cancer.

He was quoted saying,

“I beat it three years ago. In two more years, if it doesn't come back, I'm out of the woods. I'm strong right now. I'm in shape. In the morning I'm juicing two apples, two carrots, two celery, two beets, two ginger. I'm drinking that every morning to try to keep the cancer away. I've got a lot on my shoulders, but I've got the most beautiful family in the world.”

In 2016, ‘Rowdy’ Roddy Pier passed away in his sleep as a result of cardiopulmonary arrest, leaving an incredible legacy behind.
