10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (May 20)
1. Mr T. Didn't Care About Being Accepted By WWF Stars
It's well-known that 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper wasn't exactly thrilled to work with Mr. T at WrestleManias I and II. In Piper's mind, the actor didn't really belong in his world, and there was some noticeable animosity between the pair for years. In Mr. T's words, that was all one-sided.
During an interview with Ring Rust Radio, the former A-Team star said that he understands why some in the WWF had reservations about his involvement. They viewed him as little more than an outside celebrity leeching off of their hard work, but he claims that was never the case.
At the same time as being sympathetic towards the feelings of the WWF crew, Mr. T says he also didn't put that much thought into it. He looked at it strictly from a business point of view. So long as Vince McMahon - the one writing the number on his pay slips - was happy, then everything was good.
It's fascinating to learn that Mr. T understood where the wrestlers were coming from, but didn't try his best to change their opinions.
