“Losing a Parent Is Never Easy”: Rob Van Dam Leads Legion of Prayers to Daughter of Deceased WWE Legend on His 69th Birthday

The wrestling world came across a massive tragedy when the legendary superstar Rowdy Roddy Pipper succumbed to death back in 2015, at the age of 61. He was actively making appearances for the company even days before his sudden demise.

The Hot Red has become a household name in the Rock ‘n’ wrestling generation and attained great heights in terms of gaining both immense popularity and profound professional feets. Fans and co-stars simply couldn’t stand the bitter truth for long.

Tons of WWE stars gathered on Social media to send out their heartfelt wish to the late star, Roddy Piper

While the WWE universe has been struggling to get over the enormous loss, Piper’s daughter, Teal, meanwhile, made her first step into the squared circle during the AEW All Out pay-per-view in 2019 to uphold his father’s legacy.

Today marked the late wrestler’s 69th birthday. His daughter took to her Twitter handle to reminisce about his father on this special occasion. In a heartfelt message, she wrote, “Happy Birthday Dad. Would have been 69 today. Never gets easier💔,”

It immediately caught the attention of a bunch of stars who rushed to the comment section to pay tribute to the unforgettable legend and to wish his daughter a bright future as well.

WWE star Rob Van Dam was the first to drop a greeting emoji to acknowledge the legend on his special day. A series of stars followed in his footpath by wishing him a great birthday in heaven and remembering his incredible contribution to the business.

The Rowdy one was among very few stars who are universally loved by the enormous wrestling fan base. So, it would be strange if fans wouldn’t have their say on this. Plenty of them poured their everlasting love and compassion for the late star.

They noted how the phenomenal star used to be a big part of their childhood and how badly they miss their favorite star’s presence in the ring ever since he passed away.

A few of them also recognized Teal’s potential to be as great as her father someday down the line.

One user also believes beyond being a classy pro wrestler, Rowdy was more of a great father to his daughter.

But he not only was a great father figure to his biological daughter but also gave father-like inspiration to many youngsters, including Ronda Rousey.

Ronda Rousey shares a special connection with Roddy Piper

Ronda Rousey is currently better known as the name or Rowdy One but it wasn’t attached to her since the beginning. The legend, who was the original holder of his title bestowed it upon Rousey for her indomitable spirit inside and outside the squared circle. The baddest woman on the planet exceeded all the elite standards of Piper and earned her award from the legend.

The 37-year-old made his WWE debut wearing Roddy Piper’s jacket to feel his blessings with her.

However, there will never be a second Roddy Piper in the wrestling world. But we’re yet to see what, carrying the same blood, his daughter can bring to the table in the coming days.
