One of the greatest villains of all time, Roddy Piper was instrumental in bringing WrestleMania on the map and popularizing pro-wrestling in the 80s. The main event of WrestleMania I saw Hulk Hogan and Mr. T defeating Piper and Paul Orndorff in a blockbuster tag team main event.

The event was a huge hit, confirming that 'Mania would become a yearly staple going forward. Piper won the Intercontinental title and the Tag Team titles in WWE but never had a main event run as top Champion.

The situation didn't change in WCW, where Piper won the US Heavyweight title three times. The main event of Starrcade 1996 saw Piper defeating Hulk Hogan in a non-title match, which took place mere months after the latter had turned heel and formed the nWo.

Piper also had a short-lived run in WWE in 2003, in which Piper acted as the manager of Sean O'Haire. Piper also competed in a 3-on-1 Handicap match at WrestleMania 25, with Piper, Jimmy Snuka, and Ricky Steamboat taking on Chris Jericho. He passed away in 2015 due to cardiopulmonary arrest.
