"If you ask me, Mr. T was a really good celebrity for wrestling. He looks like a wrestler and has a natural gimmick. I wish he had been more involved."

"Only four matches, and everyone remembers them all. Just not enough of a body of work to justify any type of rating."

"He did his job well and helped bring WWF to the mainstream. It is unfair to rate his wrestling abilities because that's not what he was brought in for."

[9.0] "A shame we can't provide a proper rating for Mr. T. He had enough matches that he wasn't just a "one-off" celebrity wrestler in my book. Sure his appeal is because of his personality and fame during this era but his boxing match with Piper is one of my all-times favorites."

Blood Pump wrote on 29.03.2017:

"Judging Mr. T purely based on his wrestling career (since this is, ya know, a wrestling site) its impossible to say hes good, but he is timeless. I really like Mr. T as a celebrity and think his devotion towards his mom is something we should all aspire toward, but I really don't think he belonged in the wrestling industry as anything more then a celeb appearance. Roddy Piper and Paul Orndorff were justifiably furious when they were told they had to put over this 'non-wrestler', and in a time like the 80s T was lucky they didn't ignore Hogan and just potato the mohawk off of the man. As a 'wrestler' T is no higher then a 2/10. Hes got charisma for days, can talk and they did carry him in a manageable match for the first mania but that's it. Without Hogan he wouldn't even be an entry in the database. But as I said before I am a big fan of the guy himself."
