(AP) "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, the kilt wearing trash-talker who headlined the first WrestleMania and later found movie stardom, died Friday. He was 61.
The WWE confirmed the death. The wrestling organization provided no additional details.
Piper, born Roderick Toombs in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, is the second WWE Hall of Famer to die this summer, following the June death of "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes. Piper's death also comes days after Hulk Hogan, his biggest rival for decades, was fired by the WWE. Hogan had used racial slurs in a conversation captured on a sex tape.
Piper and Hogan battled for years and headlined some of the biggest matches during the 1980s. Hogan and Mr. T beat Piper and Paul Orndorff on March 31, 1985, at the first WrestleMania at Madison Square Garden in a bout that featured Muhammad Ali as the guest referee.
Piper was a villain for the early portion of his career, once cracking a coconut over the skull of Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka in a segment for his popular WWF talk show called "Piper's Pit." He later starred in the movie "They Live" and continued acting for most of the next three decades.
WWE chairman Vince McMahon called Piper "one of the most entertaining, controversial and bombastic performers ever in WWE, beloved by millions of fans around the world."
Piper's son, Colt Toombs, posted to Twitter: "My father @R_Roddy_Piper was a great man and my best friend I will miss him forever and will always try to be the man he raised me to be."
Piper also went by the nickname "Hot Rod" during his career. Although he was Canadian, he often appeared in a kilt and came to the ring blowing bagpipes in a nod to his Scottish heritage.
Piper inspired UFC fighter Ronda Rousey to take the "Rowdy" nickname. Piper was touched Rousey used the name and the MMA fighter paid tribute to him on her social media feeds before Saturday's UFC card.
"Thank you for the name.... And so much more.... Will do it justice and do you proud tomorrow," she wrote.
Rousey fights Brazilian challenger Bethe Correia at UFC 190 in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday night.
Piper was best known for his lengthy career with the World Wrestling Federation, now the WWE. He was a WWE Intercontinental and tag team champion and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame 2005.
"Saddened about the passing of "Rowdy" Roddy Piper," tweeted Paul "Triple H" Levesque, a wrestler and top WWE executive. "He was truly a legend and icon, and will never be forgotten... #ThankYouRoddy #RIP."
Piper became a household name because of his rivalry with Hogan, and the involvement of pop star Cyndi Lauper and her friend Captain Lou Albano. The feud led to an MTV special "The War to Settle the Score" in 1985. Piper was cast as the villain, and his disqualification led to Hogan keeping the WWF championship.
A brawl at the end of that fight would lead to the first WrestleMania.
Piper also had well-known rivalries with Rick Rude and Adrian Adonis, among others. He boxed actor Mr. T at WrestleMania 2.
"RIP Rowdy Roddy Piper! What a competitor?! I was honored to be your opponent in the first Wrestlemania. Bless You My Brother," Mr. T tweeted.
In addition to his celebrity in the ring, Piper appeared in John Carpenter's 1988 cult classic "They Live." In that film, he delivered the memorable line: "I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass — and I'm all out of bubblegum."
"He was a great wrestler. He was an underrated actor and just a marvelous entertainer and I feel like I've just lost one of my close friends," Carpenter told The Associated Press.
Carpenter said when he last saw Piper, his friend had just had shoulder surgery but was doing well.
"His outlook was very good," he said. "Roddy will always be loved because of his wrestling career. He really became a legend in pro wrestling. He will not be forgotten."
Former "Survivor" star Jonny Fairplay started work in 2001 as Piper's personal assistant.
"I would wake him up in the morning and yell at him from the door of his bedroom," he said. "I'd say, 'Hailing from Glasgow, Scotland, the guy who never beat Hulk Hogan.'"
Fairplay named his daughter Piper in honor of the wrestler.
"Rowdy Piper should be remembered as the greatest bad guy of all time," he said.
More recently, Piper appeared in the show "Celebrity Wife Swap," trading wives with fellow former wrestler Ric Flair.
Piper battled Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2006, but later said he had beaten the cancer.
In recent months, Piper was active in the charity Stand For The Silent, an organization aimed at honoring the victims of bullying and bringing awareness to the issue.
Piper is survived by wife Kitty and their four children.

Associated Press writers Anne Peterson and Anthony McCartney contributed to this report.
Cassidy recently spoke with VladTV to offer his opinion on the Meek Mill vs. Drake drama. Although most people believe Meek still has time to even things up, Da Hustla thinks Drizzy has already won the battle because Meek's first shot, "Wanna Know," was too weak.
In light of heightened police brutality around the country, we spoke to rapper Hopsin about his thoughts on the situation.
The West Coast emcee explained that not all cops are bad, but he added that there's always going to be good and bad people in all walks of life. Despite the stigma of rappers not liking police, Hopsin also said that there have been times that they have helped him and he added that calling the cops "is not a b***h thing to do."
During the tail end of the conversation Hopsin also shared his personal experience with getting profiled by an officer, which you can hear more about in the above clip.
Meek Mill is angry at the response to his "Wanna Know"Drake diss track. The feedback from fans and critics has been predominately harsh.
It caused the Philadelphia rapper to hit his Instagram to vent and question whether the rap game is almost over. Read what he had to say below.
So this is rap now! You can have a n#%ga write ya raps and that's acceptable.. just like in the streets you can tell on people and still b the man and get the same respect as the next man! It's almost over for the the game lol I'm confused outchea...... I'm making all trap music after I do my thang with them! We still loaded! #quentinmiller changed the game #youtherealmvp
Is Meek onto something? Has the game completely changed?
Fetty Wap continues to be one of the hottest artists of 2015. Today the New Jersey singer/rapper debuts a new song titled "I'm Straight." Give it a listen up top and let us know what you think in the comment section below.
"You let Tip homie piss on you in the movie theater, we ain't forget." Meek Mill "Wanna Know"
Turns out Meek Mill wasn't just throwing a false dig at Drake in the song "Wanna Know," when he said the Toronto rapper got urinated on and didn't do anything to the guy that did it.
Both TMZ and Julia Beverly of Ozone Magazine have now confirmed the story.
"Drake got peed on by TI's drunk friend Cap at the Takers premiere in Hollywood. (or so I heard from reliable sources)," Julia wrote on Twitter. "Story I heard: Cap was fresh out of the Feds & drunk during the premiere, peed in the aisle & on Drake. He got clowned for not reacting. don't shoot the messenger. and i'm not even on Meek's "side". I'm on nobody's side. I had to listen to his diss record 4 times to even understand what he was saying."
TMZ reports that Drizzy stormed out of the theater, screaming "motherfucker!"
DiverseHipHop likes to catch artist when they are early into their careers and support them and see them take off. We've interviewed various artists who've later taken off to become huge stars such as Kid Ink, Dizzy Wright, Hopsin and many more. Today we would like to introduce you to RIZSELFMADE who is an up and coming artist out of Harlem who has been getting looks from 50 Cent and G-Unit a lot recently. You can catch him in the G-Unit video 'Watch Me', 50's 'Don't Worry Bout It' video and the Young Buck 'Bring My Bottles' video. With him appearing around G-Unit we got curious as to who he was and looked into him and loved his music. So, we at DHH made it our duty to let the people know more about him as a person and an artist. While he was out in London for the first time with G-Unit to perform at the O2 Arena which was a sold out crowd of 20,000+ people we got a chance to interview him. In this very detailed interview you will get to know Riz and his journey into music, what made him fall in love with music, how he ended up meeting 50 Cent/G-Unit, his music, his future plans with his label 'SELFMADE INC' and much more.
Here's a new song reuniting the Riot Squad as Chinx and Stack Bundles trade bars on "Far Rock." This is off of Chinx's forthcoming debut album, Welcome To JFK, due out August 14. Pre-order it now from iTunes https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/welcome-to-jfk/id1017963015.
Toronto City Councillor Norm Kelly continued his back and forth banter with Meek Mill by throwing a shot a him for going after hometown superstar Drake in his new diss track titled "Wanna Know."
Kelly took to Twitter Thursday night, July 30, to clown Meek for the record.
"This is the reason people hire ghostwriters. #WeDidntWannaKnow," Kelly wrote in a message that has been retweeted over 57,000 times.
This all started about a week ago when Kelly told Meek via Twitter that he wasn't welcome back to Toronto.
The two then exchanged unpleasantries.
Will be interesting to see if Meek responds. Although, at this point he might have his hands full with Drizzy and Joe Budden.
SlaughterhouseemceeJoe Buddenis somewhat of an expert when it comes to beefing with other rappers on wax. Over the years he's gone toe to toe withRansom, Jay Z, G-Unit, Saigon, The Game, Prodigy, Kendrick Lamarand more.
The New Jersey rapper didn't win all of the wars, but he believes his battle scars give him insight when it comes to verbal altercations.
After hearingMeek Mill's"Wanna Know" diss aimed atDrake, Joe took to Twitter to offer some not-so-friendly advice.
