More Rowdy Roddy Piper

[MacMullen]

I was listening to Outlaw Radio last week, and Rowdy Roddy Piper was the guest. They replayed it again this evening.

Memorable kilt quote from Piper: "Why do I wear a kilt? Because pants just won't fit!"

The show is not for everyone, and I don't know that I'd recommend it because of the language and a lot of the subject matter, but they do have some interesting guests on there.

Does anyone know what tartan Roddy Piper wears? His real name is Toombs, but I didn't find a tartan for that name.

I sent an email to his "people", asking the same question... I've gotten no response in 6 months..

I have noticed at least 6 different ones in pics on the web... I couldn't tell ya what the names are..

Part two..

I'd only seen him in the red one. Thanks for the other pics.

Any idea on what that tartan is?

Not sure what tartans he wears but Piper seems to have appeared in public wearing several different tartans over the years. I know he's Canadian and I think his real surname is originally British. The "Piper" character is nothing more than a gimmick but I can't say if he truly has any Scottish roots (I'll leave that to the real wrestling junkies to clarify).

[MacMullen]

If I understand it correctly, he played the bagpipes in a pipe band before he got into wrestling, hence the name, "Piper" when it came time to find a gimmick for his wrestling persona.
