#2: Hated Stone Cold: 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper

Roddy Piper may sadly no longer be with us, but what is even sadder is the actions between the Hot Rod and Austin shortly before Piper's death in 2015.

Much like Austin, Piper had his own podcast and during one episode, invited comedian Will Sasso to entertain the listeners. Sasso did just that, partly because of his hilarious Stone Cold impression.

This didn't go down well with the Rattlesnake, who spoke to host Podcast One, and not only was the episode taken down, but Piper's entire podcast was shut down as well.

A huge loss for Piper, who was making money via sponsorships on the show, this can't have gone down well, though Piper did address the controversy months later on a different station. It's difficult to think what Piper thought of Austin in the following weeks before his death.
