Does anyone remember..... - Just something odd that popped up

Does anyone remember the episode of WWF Superstars, on Saturdays in the mid to late 80's, that hd Rowdy Roddy Piper vs Quick Draw Rick McGraw?

I remember the match well for a very sick reason but it just seems surreal. Piper ended the match with the sleeper, his normal finishing move. Problem was, Rick didn't "come to". He was carried out on a stretcher, never to return. Well, he didn't return because the fucker died. They announced it the following week as a matter of fact.

Now, did he really die in the ring? That's the part that bugs the shit out of me. Would the WWF, which at the time was very geared towards children, show some jobber take the dirt nap? I mean today it is likely that Vince would make a fuckin angle out of the whole fiasco, but then was a totaly different ball game.

Were charges ever pressed against Piper for killing a man?
