1) Mr. T & Hulk Hogan vs “Rowdy” Roddy Piper & “Mr. Wonderful” Paul Orndorff – WWF Wrestlemania

Mr. T was the most natural wrestler out of all the celebrities that wrestling has had in the ring. The first WrestleMania’s main event was full of celebrity appearances, including Muhammad Ali as guest referee, Billy Martin as ring announcer and Liberace as guest time-keeper. It was the performance of Mr. T, however, that stands out the most in the star-studded event.

Mr. T did more than his fair share in the match. He looked natural in the ring alongside seasoned veterans like Piper, Orndorff and Hogan. He used locks and holds like a pro and belonged in the main event, unlike the Bigelow-Taylor match 10 years later. Mr. T and Hogan would go on to win the match after some miscommunication from Bob Orton and Orndorff. Mr.T was inducted into the Hall of Fame for his work with the WWF/WWE and rightfully so based on his performance in this match.
