10 WWE Stars Who Wanted To Be Roddy Piper

By Marcus K. Dowling /

1. CM Punk

CM Punk's LiveJournal page description reads: "I am the bastard son of Vampira and Rowdy Roddy Piper. I will kill you if you look at me the wrong way. Those who know me love me." An iconoclastic loudmouth with a nomadic upbringing who repeatedly told Vince McMahon where to shove it, and how far it needed to go. As well, the one guy who took the company's marquee player past the edge of where it was believable that he could and/or should be the World Heavyweight Champion. As much as that's Roddy Piper's legacy, it's CM Punk's legacy too. Depending on the kind of gum you're chewing, it could easily violate being straight edge. But he certainly kicked enough ass to make up for it.
