It was only a few weeks ago that I spoke about the 3-disc set released by the WWE dedicated to the career of Roddy Piper. Well it would seem that the toughest challenge to face Piper isn't mentioned on that disc. That's because he has been diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Piper was sent home early from a WWE tour of the United Kingdom and was hospitalized where doctors removed a mass near his spinal cord which contained an enlarged lymph node. The mass was completely removed, but the lymph node tested positive for Hodgkin's lymphoma.
If there's one thing Piper has shown throughout his life it's that you can't keep a good man down. I have no doubt that he'll dropkick lymphoma and show the world that heaven is going to have to find another angel for the time being.

i am reminded of the classic quote from "They Live": "I have come to kick ass and chew bubble gum. [Well Cancer he's] all outta gum!"
