Rowdy Roddy Piper, an eighties wrestling star, was arrested for driving under the influence in Los Angeles early Thursday morning. Piper was stopped by Los Angeles Police around 1:00 am and reportedly was administered several field sobriety tests before being charged with drunk driving at the Hollywood division station. His bond was set at $5,000.
Piper, 55, whose real name is Roderick Toombs, was a wrestling fixture eighties, playing the villain to Hulk Hogan. Piper was inducted to the World Wrestling Hall of Fame in 1995 and has alluded to a return to Raw or Smackdown. I am not sure how his recent drunk driving arrest will alter the decision to bring him back, but it seems that in Hollywood it is doubtful that a drunk driving charge will change the decision one way or the other.
