– The Wrestling Inc. Daily recently interviewed WWE Hall of Famer Mr. T, who discussed his rivalry with Rowdy Roddy Piper and teaming with Hulk Hogan in the main event for the first WrestleMania. According to Mr. T, he and late WWE Hall of Famer Roddy Piper did not have a genuine beef or heat with each other, he was simply trying to sell the feud. Below are some highlights. On being contacted by Vince McMahon and Hulk Hogan for WrestleMania: “When I met with Vince McMahon and Hulk, Hulk was telling me about it because remember, me Hulk Hogan, we go back because we were in Rocky III together, then he did a couple episodes of The A-Team. He was friends with Cyndi Lauper, and everyone came in and said, ‘Wow, you’re getting Mr. T in!’ We did the contract, and now it’s serious. Now we gotta train. Now I gotta learn the moves. I knew wrestling in Chicago. Two-time state champ, but like I said, this is professional wrestling because I remember as a kid, Dick The Bruiser and The Crusher being from Wisconsin. I remember Sweet Daddy Siki and Bearcat Wright.
