Several years ago, Roddy Piper did a promo video for Johngy's Beat. That video sits at the top of the Promo Videos column on the left. Sadly, Roddy passed in 2015, but his legacy lives on, a huge part of which is his children.
Roddy was very close with his family. His son Colt often joined him at his appearances and he supported all of his kids in their various endeavors.
His middle daughter Teal (Ariel Teal Toombs) has done some acting and is currently embarking on a wrestling career. She is a talented young woman and I look forward to following her career wherever it takes her.
Teal and Colt helped carry on their father's legacy by finishing the autobiography that he started. Roddy always told me he was disappointed that his first book (In the Pit With Piper) was chopped too much by the editors. He wanted to tell more of his story. Unfortunately, he died before this could happen, but thanks to Teal and Colt, "Rowdy: The Roddy Piper Story" was beautifully completed. I highly recommend this book.
Speaking of high recommendations, Teal sent along a little recommendation of her own. It is very amusing and certainly shows she is Roddy's child.
Thank you to Teal for her time, consideration and humor. You can follow her at @ArielTeal on twitter.
