Mainstream TV megastar Mr. T lifted Roddy Piper into a fireman's carry position during WrestleMania I in 1985. Intriguingly enough, John Cena lifted mainstream TV megastar Jon Stewart into a fireman's carry position the night after SummerSlam in 2015. T appearing in the main event of WrestleMania I rankled many feathers of veteran wrestlers in WWE. As well, feathers were similarly rankled when Jon Stewart interfered in the WWE Championship match at SummerSlam. Vince McMahon has always been a fan of playing fast and loose with celebrities being involved in major angles in WWE. From Mr. T to Jon Stewart, it's intriguing to see that old habits don't die hard, they actually never die at all.
