It's Always Sunny on Roddy Piper

Last night, the Roddy Piper episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia aired, and as I predicted, it was nothing short of weapons-grade, fine quality awesome. Piper played a destitute local pro wrestler called Da Maniac that The Gang hires to teach them how to work and to face off against them in their ill-conceived card to benefit the troops. And it was hilarious. Although Piper wasn't the best part of the show, he still brought laughs.

The best part of the show? The match at the end featuring recurring character Rickety Cricket dressing up as a terrorist and hamming it up for the crowd. I won't spoil anything else, but if you're a fan of the show, you'll love how everything turns out.

One other thing to note, at the beginning of the episode they showed Dennis watching an old Hulk Hogan/Nikolai Volkoff match on his laptop with the WWE logo on it. I wonder if this is a precursor to them hosting RAW. One can only hope.
