For as much of a lunatic as he always seemed, and given that he was a fixture in that wild extra coked up era of 1980s WWF, everything I’ve ever seen of Roddy Piper’s kids they seem like perfectly normal and sound people.

Piper's biography puts his wife OJ very quite heavily from what I remember.

On a sort of related note, Curtis Axel seems to have turned out alright. But I reckon his IC title win on Father's Day back in 2013 in that triple threat against Miz and Barrett was one of the most under-appreciated moments of the decade in WWE. Lovely touch by WWE and it was also a cracking match too.

Was that the match where he pinned one of his opponents who was in a figure four? I remember thinking that was a very clever finish for a triple threat.

Yep, Miz had Barrett in the Figure Four and Axel pinned him. Such a great little match.

Might have to go back and give that a re-watch. Axel is an odd one, so many wrestlers rave about how good he is, and he was The Rock's training partner when he did his comeback in 2012/13, but something never seemed to click for him.

It's like with most of the WWE roster. He's perfectly decent in the ring but beyond that they have no idea what to do with him, plus he doesn't really have the presence of his dad anyway.

OK I hate this finish as it's one of wrestling's illogical moments. If someone is in a figure 4 and has their shoulder's on the mat the referee counts. So surely Miz and Axel were both pinning him?

Why would I care about logic in wrestling.
