Editing Mr. T (section)

===World Wrestling Federation (1985-1987)===
Mr. T entered the world of [[professional wrestling]] in 1985. He was [[Hulk Hogan]]'s tag-team partner at the [[World Wrestling Federation]]'s (WWF) ''[[WrestleMania I]]'' which he won. Hulk Hogan wrote in his autobiography that Mr. T saved the main event of WrestleMania I between them and "Rowdy" [[Roddy Piper]] and "Mr. Wonderful" [[Paul Orndorff]] because when he arrived, security would not let his entourage into the building. Mr. T was ready to skip the show until Hogan personally talked him out of leaving.{{Clarify|date=June 2020}} Piper has said that he and other fellow wrestlers disliked Mr. T because he was an actor and had never paid his dues as a professional wrestler. Remaining with the WWF, Mr. T became a special "WWF boxer" in light of his character in ''Rocky III''. He took on [[Bob Orton, Jr.|"Cowboy" Bob Orton]] on the March 1, 1986, ''[[Saturday Night's Main Event V]],'' on NBC. This [[boxing]] stunt culminated in another boxing match against Roddy Piper at ''[[WrestleMania 2]]''. As part of the build-up for the match, Piper attacked Mr. T's friend, dwarf wrestler the [[Haiti Kid]] on his ''Piper's Pit'' interview slot, shaving his head into a [[Mohawk hairstyle|mohican]] style similar to that of Mr. T. Then Mr. T won the boxing match in Round 4 by disqualification after Piper attacked the referee and bodyslammed Mr. T. He returned to the World Wrestling Federation as a [[special guest referee]] in 1987 as well as a special referee enforcer confronting such stars as [[The Honky Tonk Man]] and then afterwards the WWF decided to stop using Mr. T.
