Mr. T was ready to play in WWE.
In terms of celebrities appearing in wrestling, Mr. T is still one of the biggest names that has ever appeared and wrestled in WWE.
Although celebrity appearances are seemingly more welcomed in today's wrestling world, Mr. T recently revealed that wrestlers were jealous when he first came into the business in 1985.
"When I came in, at first, some of the wrestlers were a little jealous." Mr. T said, speaking on a recent episode of comPODres. "Number one, they didn’t know I could bring it. I was a wrestling champion in the city of Chicago. I knew how to wrestle. They didn’t realize the business of wrestling. Vince McMahon brought me in to elevate wrestling. Those guys, sure, they had been around and had it hard. I’m bringing light to wrestling, and they didn’t see that. They were a little jealous at first. They thought that, me coming in that I couldn’t hold my own. They found out real quick."
Mr. T was inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame in 2014.
According to Savio Vega, WWE is considering using Bad Bunny, who has arguably become one of the best celebrity wrestlers of all time, at SummerSlam. Fans can learn more by clicking here.
