Mr. T is best known for his role in the 1980s showThe A-Team. During his time on the show, he stepped into the ring as a professional wrestler. Mr. T’s larger than life persona seems to work rather well with the world of professional wrestling. In 1985 he was Hulk Hogan’s tag team partner for the WWF’s first ever WrestleMania. The two won the match.

After appearing in Rocky III, Mr. T was given a role as a WWF boxer to reflect the Rocky character. He later “boxed” against Bob Orton and later Roddy Piper. He continued to appear in various matches throughout the 1980s and 1990s. In 2014, he was officially inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
