WWF Accolade: The most famous wrestler to have never held a belt.

Canadian Roderick Toomb’s actual Scottish heritage landed him the role of a rambunctious bag pipe playing Scott from Glasgow. But it was his big wind pipes and quick wit that took him to the highlands of the WWF. Piper was an above average, injured all too often wrestler, whose mouth kept him working while he was working through injuries. He hosted his own segment known as “Piper’s Pit” where he stirred the pot between other wrestlers by serving up his Scottish rage. He’s arguably the best bad guy in the history of the sport…s entertainment.
