WWE 2K15: 15 Legends Who Need To Join Sting On The Roster
6. Rowdy Roddy Piper
One of the first wrestlers known worldwide for his unpredictable verbal dexterity, Hot Rod brought the pipebomb to WWF television twenty years before CM Punk came anywhere near a wrestling ring. Famously headlining the first ever Wrestlemania against Hulk Hogan, Pipers hot-tempered wildman persona made him a fan favourite even when he was playing the ugliest of cheating heels, and predates Dean Ambroses lunatic fringe character by some time. What a pair those two would make in WWE 2K15. Piper could also trade sleeper holds with Dolph Ziggler, or come face to face once again with Chris Jericho on The Highlight Reel (after all, Piper invented Y2J). And there's the chance to have rematches against some of Piper's greatest ever opponents: playing evil as only Piper can versus Hulk Hogan, for example, or trading low blows with the 'Dirtiest Player In The Game', Ric Flair. Then there's 'Superfly' Jimmy Snuka, whose original feud with Piper saw 'Hot Rod' break a coconut over his head, a Piper's Pit segment that actually inspired Punk to want to be a pro wrestler himself.
