5 Wrestlers who portrayed different nationalities

#1 "Rowdy" Roddy Piper

Roddy Piper

Now, this may be considered cheating. Roddy Piper did have some Scottish heritage, but it's a whole different ball game when he's actually billed from Glasgow, Scotland when he's actually from Saskatchewan, Canada.

Roddy Piper is considered to be, by many, the greatest heel in all of professional wrestling. From his iconic edition of Piper's Pit where he bashed Jimmy Snuka with a coconut, to his wars with Hulk Hogan and Mr. T, there was nobody that was able to get under the skin of the fans as much as the Hot Rod.

Not long after, though, he'd turn face, and after returning from a two-year hiatus to pursue a film career, he'd capture the Intercontinental Championship from The Mountie at Royal Rumble '92.

Piper's name actually came from an error early in his career when he was making his way to the ring while serenaded by bagpipes. The ring announcer didn't know much about him other than his name was Roddy, so he was called "Roddy the Piper".

Those bagpipes, the kilt, and everything else followed him throughout his career until his death in 2015. Piper was a legend, through and through, and rightfully tops our list today.
