10 WWE Stars Who Wanted To Be Roddy Piper

7. Eddie Guerrero

For as tremendous as he was as an in-ring technician, it wasn't until Guerrero borrowed a little bit from the Roddy Piper school of street brawling that he reached the next level as a top-tier star. Especially when in Portland and the Mid-Atlantic areas, Piper's ability to fight and desire to get a little bloody in order to convey that he meant business is what made him a superstar. Eddie also was a compelling talker who once a superstar also engaged in storylines where, similar to Piper's career credo, once you thought you had all of the answers, Eddie changed the questions. When a wrestler is able to engage in say, a storyline where he's able to portray the illegitimate father of his best friend's child and the crowd plays along, that's a trait that very few (namely Roddy Piper) had. If you want to think about a feud that would've been terrific fun, insert Roddy Piper in the JBL role in Guerrero and JBL's epic World Championship feud. Piper as a blowhard who had an engine on him versus Guerrero in the role of a tough talking babyface who was always ready to up the ante on a battle would've been highly entertaining stuff and two sides of the same coin.
