Casting The Roddy Piper Film
5. Mr T - Winston Duke
Their feud may have culminated in one of the worst WrestleMania matches in the history of the show, but the beef between Roddy Piper and Mr T was a generation-defining one. It helped make that first WrestleMania the game-changer that it was, and it carried all the way over to 'Mania 2. We can forget the miserable match at that show and focus instead on the fascinating story that spanned those shows.
Piper and T famously didn't get along, to say the least. You could say the two 'hated' each other, to the point where the boxing match at WM2 was the forced end of the feud because of fears of legal ramifications. Piper despised T's apparent disrespect for the pro wrestling industry and he wasn't the sort of character to let that slide. It all fizzled out in the end, but this is an integral part of Piper's career and the development of pro wrestling.
Who should play Mr T? Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson got the gig for the 2010 remake of 'The A Team', but a whole decade has passed since then. Winston Duke has been a breakout star of the last few years and has the physical charisma and tough demeanour required to accurately portray ol' B.A. Baracus.
