Hulk Hogan and Roddy Piper had a legendary rivalry both in the WWF (1980s) and WCW (1990s).
They main evented the first ever WrestleMania in 1985 going against each other in a tag team match.
Piper sadly passed away on July 31, 2015 at the age of 61.
During an interview with the 700 Club, Hogan recalled talking to Piper a few days before Piper’s death and how one of Piper’s voice messages ended up being delivered two days after his death.
Here’s what the Hulkster said:
“In the wrestling business for 25 years we couldn’t stand each other, we were at each other’s throats. I know it is predetermined and all that but he did not like me and I did not like him. That’s just how it was.
Once we got older and we had some conversations we started talking. He started asking about my spirituality, he didn’t connect but he was very curious. He wouldn’t surrender. All of a sudden he passes away.
There was an A&E special about Roddy Piper. When they go to credits, there is a message. It was not a text message, it was a voice message. But this message came in two days after he died and the message goes ‘I’m just loving you, my brother. Just walkin’ with Jesus. Walkin’ with Jesus and loving you, my brother’.
I was like, ‘He would have never said that when he was here. It is amazing how things work’.”
