WWE Hall of Famer Mr. T spoke with Heart As Art at Fan Expo Chicago about various topics, including his first experience at WWE WrestleMania.
Mr. T said, “Oh, yeah. That was wild. I will never forget that. Madison Square Garden, you know? Packed arena. We got Liberace, we got Muhammad Ali, we got all the people. We got all the wrestlers, top names. I said me, I’m in there, I’m a part of this here. Awesome again, because I want to give my best performance. Because the world’s going to be watching, and now they can play back and see WrestleMania I.”
On giving it his all:
“It was another big honor. Because I remember coming in. I told him, I said ‘I said I’m going to work real hard for you. I’m trying to – I’m gonna carry the torch. I didn’t come here to make a mockery of wrestling and this and that. So, I want to come in that — you requested, you want me. So, I want to bring something to the game. I’m gonna carry my own, I’m gonna work hard. You just tell me what you want me to do and I’ll adjust.’ So, I was honored to be with the other great wrestlers.”
