BIOGRAPHY: Involved in the world of pro wrestling in 1985-86 and 1994-95. Was Hulk Hogan's tag team partner at the first WrestleMania (1985) (V), defeating the team of Paul Orndorff and Roddy Piper on March 31, 1985. His feud with Piper continued into WrestleMania 2 (1986) (V), when he defeated Piper in a boxing match by disqualification. Mr. T returned to the WWF as a special guest referee in 1987, then disappeared from the wrestling world. Seven years later, he reappeared as a special referee for a Hogan-Ric Flair match, in October 1994. He stayed with Hogan for a few matches before returning to obscurity.
TRIVIA:
- "Rowdy" 'Roddy Piper' (qv) mentioned that he and other fellow wrestlers legitimately disliked Mr. T, because he was an actor coming into wrestling, and had not paid his dues as a professional wrestler.
- Was once parodied on the animated GI Joe series of the 1980s with a character called "Mr. C", who was a spokesman for the evil COBRA cable network (the character then joined GI Joe after the COBRA cable3 network was destroyed).
- Once worked as a bouncer and a bodyguard to 'Steve McQueen (I)' (qv), 'Muhammad Ali (I)' (qv) & 'Diana Ross (I)' (qv).
- (2001) Occasionally appears as 'Conan O'Brien' (qv)'s special guest and partner in various comedy sketches on _"Late Night with Conan O'Brien" (1993)_ (qv).
- Fans often dubbed his "Sgt. B.A. Baracus" from _"The A-Team" (1983)_ (qv) as standing for "Bad Ass" or "Bad Attitude".
- He was twice named America's Toughest Bouncer.
- Stopped wearing his trademark gold chains as of last year (2005) because of the Katrina devastation.
- Derived his signature hair-do when an attempt to shave his hair into a "T" failed. He adopted the mohawk look instead, taken from a National Geographic photo of a Mandika warrior in Mali.
