I guess Death will only let you change the questions so many times.
RIP Hot Rod.

As other have said, it's been a tough year for wrestling. In Dusty and Roddy, the sport has lost two of the most iconic and influential wrestlers that ever laced up the boots.
I wish, now, that I hadn't been so dismissive of him, when he'd appeared on Raw the past few years. Don't it always seem to go...

If they played the bagpipes on Raw expect waterworks from me.

One the best heels in the history of the sport.

He was my favorite wrestler when I was a kid. I was struggling with a growth defect in my leg when he was working a leg injury suffered at the hands of Adrian Adonis, Bob Orton, and Don Muraco. Seeing both working the injury and kicking ass inspired me to keep my chin up during my medical crisis. Although in retrospect, I appreciated Adonis' talent, seeing Roddy beat him at Wrestlemania 3 was a sweet end to the story. After that, he always remained a sentimental favorite. Even during the WCW run.
Thank you HotRod for the memories! You helped this kid out during his roughest times.

Would cancer cause a "sudden" death, like this appears to be (if true)?
I mean, the guy for his podcast was still expecting him.

TMZ.com updated their story on Roddy Piper's death stating that he died from cardiac arrest in his sleep around noon Pacific time.
Piper's rep told TMZ the following:
"I am devastated at this news. Rod was a good friend as well as a client and one of the most generous, sincere and authentic people I have ever known. This is a true loss to us all."

Truly awful news. I don't think anyone will disagree that Roddy Piper is one of the all-time greats. He deserves just as much credit for the boom of professional wrestling as Hulk Hogan, considering without a great villain, a great hero has nothing to fight for.
Gutted.
RIP
