#2 Piper passes on potential push

'Love him or hate him, you just can't ignore him' is an ideal phrase that can be used to describe Rowdy Roddy Piper.
As one of the biggest heels in wrestling (as well as part of the main event of the very first WrestleMania), it's shocking to fans that Rowdy Roddy Piper never held the covet WWF Championship.
Sure, he held the Intercontinental Title, and briefly held the World Tag Championships in 2006, but Piper's lack of a world championship is something many fans consider a crime.
According to Hulk Hogan though, if Piper had been willing to lose to the Hulkster, he would've been given a push, with a World title imminent.
Instead, Piper refused to do the job, and never became champion.
The Hot Rod probably felt that being one of the biggest stars ever was all he needed, and whilst he never became WWF Champion, no-one can deny to the truly legendary status of Rowdy Roddy Piper.
