The biggest pro wrestling bio since Bret Hart's Hitman: legendary Rowdy Roddy Piper's unfinished autobiography, reconceived and completed by his children, wrestler/musician Ariel Teal Toombs and wrestler Colt Baird Toombs.

In early 2015, Roderick Toombs, aka Rowdy Roddy Piper, began researching his own autobiography with a trip through Western Canada. He was rediscovering his youth, a part of his life he never discussed during his sixty-one years, many spent as one of the greatest talents in the history of pro wrestling. Following his death due to a heart attack that July, two of his children took on the job of telling Roddy's story, separating fact from fiction in the extraordinary life of their father.

Already an accomplished wrestler before Wrestlemania in 1985, Roddy Piper could infuriate a crowd like no "heel" before him. The principal antagonist to all-American champion Hulk Hogan, Piper used his quick wit, explosive ring style, and fearless baiting of audiences to push pro wrestling to unprecedented success. An actor with over fifty screen credits, including the lead in John Carpenter's number one cult classic, They Live, Piper knew how to keep fans hungry, just as he'd kept them wishing for a complete portrait of his most unusual life. He wanted to write this book for his family; now they have written it for him.

I am a huge Roddy Piper mark so of course this gets 5 stars. I was wanting a little more though.

Rowdy before Rowdy was cool

Ariel, Colt, Kitties! BRAVO... you tell a terrific biography of your father. I can tell that you truly loved him. I loved Rowdy, you loved Roddy.

Bravo

I just felt like a real opportunity was missed. Nothing to dislike about the book at all.

The kids did a great job covering their father's life.

No mention of his feud with Jerry the king lawler. No mentioned of his time in TNA. The backstory was good but overall disappointing.

A lot of details left out
