2K on Twitter posted it. Last thing from WWE was a Smackdown recap.
Edit:
Cena just posted about it, I think that's as offical we're gonna get until WWE posts it.

God dammit. This sucks. I'm just recovering from Dusty. And I hate that the last thing we saw was him beefing with Austin over a podcast.

Facebook has just edited their trend from "Reportedly Has Passed" to "Has died". I'm assuming this is sadly a real deal.

Absolutely F#$@ing devastated. I met Piper back in 2012 and he was one of the nicest wrestlers i'be ever met. He took time to talk to every fan in line.
RIP.

The one time I wish the question was changed, not the answer.
Rest in Plaid, Rowdy.

Kevin Owens just posted a beautiful tweet. I'd link it, but I don't know how to make it appear in here.

Even in death Roddy is taking attention away from Hogan.

Neither WWE or TNA's official websites have anything uploaded about his story - I mention TNA as he appeared in that promotion. WWE and TNA had articles on Dusty Rhodes quickly after his death - He was, like Piper, more known for his time with WWE(OR AFFILIATED PROMOTIONS ETC.), Same with Piper .
Its strange their is no Official article yet. For an article/subject that is now trending worldwide. Nearly an hour after TMZ's article.

I'd say the Frank Williams Piper's Pit is right up there as one of his most memorable Pits, even with Williams being just a jobber. I'd put that just behind the Snuka coconut, and Andre ripping Hogan's cross off. And one of Piper's most famous lines to end the segment.
While Piper may have only been 61, he lived a life of someone that had twice that time. He made the most, got to experience the lowest of lows, and the highest of highs. He made an impact in his business of wrestling, as well as outside of it. They Live cemented him as someone that anyone would no. I mean it's been reference from South Park to Saints Row and the famous bubble gum line is used so much, and parodied upon a lot. The man may be gone, but his legend, who he was, that's immortal.

Why do the people I look up to drop like flies? 2015, quit that crap. I have had enough. Can you look up John Cena? Jk I know now isn't the appropriate time but I had to. Since it's been confirmed, I'm very upset, this is getting too much.
