Wrestling legend "Rowdy" Roddy Piper has died at the age of 61... TMZ Sports has learned.
Piper -- born Roderick George Toombs -- passed away from natural causes at a home in Hollywood.
Piper was a wrestling icon -- one of the biggest stars in the WWE back in the '80s, and even wrestled in "Wrestlemania I" back in 1985 ... squaring off against Hulk Hogan and Mr. T.
Piper had been diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma in 2006, but last November he said he was cancer free.
Roddy was admitted into the WWE Hall of Fame back in 2005 and was one of the top 50 villains in the history of the WWE .
Roddy is survived by his wife Kitty and their 4 kids -- including 3 daughters and son Colton who's pursuing a career in professional wrestling.

RIP He was my favorite Villain!! here are some quotes from him:

Just when they think they got the answers, I change the questions."
"Real men wear kilts."
"You don't throw rocks at a man with a machine gun!"
"I am your reality check!"
"Ric Flair, the Slim Whitman of Pro-Wrestling."
"I'm the reason Hulk Hogan lost his hair!"
"Russia gives us Nikolai Volkoff, and we give them MTV and 2 Live Crew. Fair trade, huh?"
"Nature Boy, what's that? Do you run around the forest like Euell Gibbons, eating bark or something?"
"Jerry Lawler walks in here with his crown - DA DA DUM - Imperial Margerine - and talks about what he's going to do to me. Lawler, if you think you're going to beat me, if you think you can do ANYTHING to me, than you really are the king. King of FOOLS, jack!!"
"Rowdy Roddy cut his locks; but don't worry women, he's still a fox."
"I'm so quick, I could spit in the wind, duck, and let it hit the old lady behind me."
"I don't need to know how tough I am to know how tough I am."
"Ric Flair, you once called me a woman. Well how does it feel to get beat by a woman?"
"I walk so fast, I talk so fast, I could turn the light off and be in bed before the room's dark!"
"When you were young did your mommy and daddy place the swing too close to the wall?"
"Your stupidity is something you're born with."
"The boss is back."
"My name is Rowdy Roddy Piper and you ain't seen nothing yet!"
"I came here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I'm all outta bubblegum."
Put it in your hand, brother!"
"I WAS ROWDY BEFORE ROWDY WAS COOL! HAA!!"
