There is no version of this where you come out on top. Maybe your army comes, and maybe it’s too much for us, but it’s all on you. Because if we can’t protect the Earth, you can be damn well sure we’ll avenge it. Hello? Put Natasha on the phone. Who is this? This is her fucking son's father. Who is this? This is her fucking son. ..........oh....... Call back in 20 minutes. click Boy, you could get lost in a sky like that. I wish I had those balloons again.

TMZ Sports has learned. Piper -- born Roderick George Toombs -- died from cardiac arrest in his sleep at his home in Hollywood on Thursday night. He was discovered on Friday. Piper was a wrestling icon -- one of the biggest stars in the WWE back in the '80s, and even wrestled in "Wrestlemania I" back in 1985 ... squaring off against Hulk Hogan and Mr. T. Roddy's rep tells us, "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." Piper had been diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 2006, but last November he said he was cancer free. A family source tells us he was "cancer free" at the time of his death. A family member tells us, "Our family is saddened by the sudden passing of our father and beloved husband, Roderick Toombs aka Rowdy Roddy Piper." Roddy was admitted into the WWE Hall of Fame back in 2005 and was one of the top 50 villains in the history of the WWE. Piper had a long relationship with WWE -- last wrestling back in 2008 ... but appeared on various WWE shows up until 2014. Roddy is survived by his wife Kitty and their 4 kids -- including 3 daughters and son Colton who's pursuing a career in professional wrestling. The death is especially shocking considering we just spoke to him on Friday and asked his opinion about the Hulk Hogan scandal.

For someone in as good of shape as this guy to die in his sleep of a heart attack at a relatively young 61 is unsettling. Still, dying in your sleep is probably the least painful way to go. I remember Roddy Piper best for his role in John Carpenter's They Live movie.

I've come to see that people who are overweight get cancer much more often, it's a breeding factory for cancer. In addition to other health problems like diabetes and high blood pressure. That's one reason I lost 30 pounds this year and went down from 202 to 171. I'd like to get down even further, to maybe 160-165.

They Live is a really great concept movie, with some schlock elements that both arguaably diminish it. Or conversely, make it memorable. I'm thinking of Johnny Depp in Ed Wood: "This is it. This is the one they'll remember me for."

Was anyone else aware of this? I bought the comic when it came out, and I still never made the connection.
