Honestly what the fuck?!?!? So she’s just stealing everything about Roddy Piper?! Fucking stupid.
Look, my post history on Ronda Rousey speaks for itself. I don't like her at all, her holier than thou, better than everyone but don't you dare ask about the end of my UFC career nor mention the word lost attitude is an immense turn off. But with that said, I have no issue with her paying homage and tribute to Piper and I don't get why some fans get so up in arms over it. Ric Flair took the Nature Boy moniker and ran with it and we don't hear much about it at all.
Also, we have to educate ourselves as well. Ronda Rousey called Piper, personally, and asked for his permission to use the nickname "Rowdy". Here's an interview from 2014 where Piper is asked about Ronda taking the "Rowdy" nickname
Roddy Piper: I was trained by, at the time, the toughest man in the world. Not according to him, either. His name is “Judo” Gene Lebell and he trained Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris. He’s the godfather of MMA. He’s about 80 years old. He still has a dojo in Burbank. When I was 17, 18 years old [wrestling] in the Olympic Auditorium, I ran into him. I was getting beat up pretty good and he took me under his wing.
So then maybe a year ago-ish (my timing’s not great), Ronda and Gene called me.
She was so, so excited and so beautiful, saying, “Would you mind? I’ll make you proud and I’m giving it everything I got.” And I said, “You go, gal. You go!”
Somebody asked me, “What would you think if ‘Rowdy’ Ronda Rousey would become the face of the UFC?” I said I think it would be great. I think it would be a really great thing.
And “Judo” Gene Lebell, I don’t know if you know him. He got me in the very first movie I was in, too. He’s like my dad. I’ve been choked out many times by him.
