10 Celebrities That Had The Most Influence In WWE History

By Vince Russo /

4. Mr T

Unless you lived in the Stone Age, you are well aware of Mr. T€™s contributions when it came to WrestleMania. At the time of his involvement, Mr. T was a HUGE star in his own right, having starred in his own television series, and of course his role as Clubber Lang in Rocky 3. What made T tailor made for the WWF part was not only was he a natural, but he was just so damn believable. As a kid you were afraid of Mr. T, even though you knew full well that it was all just schtick. The guy was just made for the wrestling business; there was no learning curve whatsoever. With the personalities of both Mt. and Hulk Hogan, WrestleMania just wasn€™t going to miss. They were the two most recognizable stars in perhaps our lifetimes. You add their charisma to that, and you have MONEY, a BOAT LOAD OF MONEY! I think it€™s far to say that without the added star power of Mr. the WWF may not have had the influencing effect over middle, -America---that it still enjoys to this day!
