9. “Rowdy” Roddy Piper
In a rare case of the gang thinking beyond their own interests, season 5’s ‘The Gang Wrestles for the Troops’ sees Mac, Charlie, Frank and Dennis organising a wrestling event to celebrate the returning troops.
Naturally, if you’re going to make an episode about wrestling you then need a real wrestling veteran to make an appearance… but who?
Well, “Rowdy” Roddy Piper plays wrestler Da’ Maniac, who his hired by the gang to wrestle in their event. Unhinged and seemingly dangerous, the gang instantly regret the decision to hire Maniac, with his no holds barred approach to literally everything unnerving Dennis, Charlie and Mac who underestimated the demands of wrestling.
Piper’s Maniac is a rare example of the gang being the sanest people in Paddy’s Pub. Maniac by name, maniac by nature.
