Alright, let me tell you about this little rabbit hole I went down the other day. It started pretty simply. I was just thinking about old-school wrestlers, and somehow “Rowdy” Roddy Piper came to mind. Then I thought, wait, didn’t he have a son who also got into fighting or something? Yeah, Colt Toombs. So, naturally, the next thought was, wonder how old that guy is now?
So, I did what anyone does. Pulled out my phone, opened up a search, and typed in “Colt Toombs age”. Simple enough, right? Thought I’d get a quick answer, like a birthdate or something.
Well, the first bunch of results were all about his dad. Makes sense, Roddy was huge. All this stuff popped up about Piper. You know, the whole “billed from Glasgow” thing, even though he was Canadian. Classic. Always remembered the kilt and the bagpipes. The search results reminded me they called him “Rowdy” and “Hot Rod” because he was just wild, quick temper, you know. Apparently, he was an amateur boxer before wrestling. Reading that, and thinking about him wrestling with serious high blood pressure, yeah, he was probably a genuinely tough guy.
But back to Colt. I had to dig deeper past all the Roddy Piper stuff. Kept scrolling, looking specifically for Colt’s age or birth year.
Finding info on Colt himself
Okay, so finding stuff specifically about Colt Toombs was a bit tougher. Lots of mentions as Roddy Piper’s son. Saw some articles mentioning he might have dabbled in MMA or maybe even pro wrestling himself, trying to follow in those big footsteps.
- Lots of comparison to his dad.
- Talk about legacy.
- Pictures alongside his dad from years ago.
But a specific age? Like, “Colt Toombs is X years old” or “Born in 19XX”? Nope. Not easily found. I saw some forum posts where people were guessing, based on when Roddy was married or had other kids, but nothing solid.
Looked at some photos, recent ones if I could find them. He looks like a grown man, for sure. Hard to guess age from pictures though, right? Could be late 30s? Early 40s maybe? It’s really just a shot in the dark based on visuals and guessing relative to his dad’s timeline.
So, after maybe 15 minutes of poking around, I kinda gave up on finding a definite number. Seems like maybe he keeps his personal details more private, which is fair enough. Unlike his dad, who was such a public figure, maybe Colt prefers to stay out of that specific spotlight.
End result? Didn’t find the exact age for Colt Toombs. Learned a bit more trivia about Roddy Piper, though. So, yeah, that was my little search mission. Sometimes you find what you’re looking for, sometimes you just get reminded of wrestling history.
