Wasn't Rowdy Roddy Piper a WWF (or whatever) wrestler? However hilarious "professional" wrestling is, those who think it's real are few and far between. Come on, there's even a gag in the Simpsons about it:

Springfield Shopper newspaper: "Local Man Thinks Wrestling Is Real." Homer is pictured beneath the headline.

And I suspect Rowdy Roddy is about as Scottish as this dude is a qualified undertaker.
