If Not Mr. T…
By Scott Keith on July 5, 2021
Hello Scott!
Seeing the post about Mr. T sent my mind a-wandering
down an admittedly fantasy timeline: how different would it have been if Vince
could have convinced Sylvester Stallone to come in for Mania 1 (and maybe 2
against Piper in the Boxing Match?) Would having Hogan and Rocky on the PPV
Poster resulted in even more revenue for Vince or would it not have made enough
of a difference to justify whatever it would have cost to bring him
in?

Stay cool and thanks for the blog!
The weather has broken and much like WWE shows, there’s no more heat for the moment.
Anyway, T was molten hot coming off Rocky 3 and the A Team and I don’t think Stallone would have done the same business. Sly wasn’t exactly an A list celebrity outside of Rocky and didn’t have any crossover appeal like T did. EVERYONE knew Mr T in 1985.
