The WWE Network is a big success for the biggest sports entertainment company in the world. The latest rumors imply that it will be good for business if Mr. T gets his own WWE Network show in the future.
According to Forbes, the WWE should capitalize on the popularity and the name of Mr. T to get more casual fans to subscribe to their network. The 63-year-old actor and personality is a big part of WWE's history as he was part of the very first WrestleMania in 1985.
Mr. T teamed up with Hulk Hogan to face Roddy Piper and Paul Orndorff in the main event with Muhammad Ali serving as the special guest referee. Without these four individuals, the WWE may not be in the position it is today.
The A-Team actor was also part of WrestleMania 2 and a member of WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2014. Even though he does not regularly appear in the industry, it is undeniable that he could be helpful in getting casual fans introduced to wrestling.
In an interview the Ring Rust Radio, Mr. T was asked if he is interested in having his own show on the WWE Network and if the WWE has offered him anything. He replied by saying that he is very busy at the moment promoting Fairfield Inn & Suites.
"No, they haven't. I have been very busy lately and that's the God's honest truth. All I ever wanted to do in my life before I got successful was to buy my mama a house and pretty dresses," Mr. T said.
The WWE Network was launched in February 2014 and is available in many parts of the world like North America, Europe, the Middle East and South Asia. Some of the current original shows on the network include The Edge and Christian Show That Totally Reeks of Awesomeness, Legends with JBL, Ride Along, Table for 3, Swerved and Camp WWE.
The WWE will also introduce some new shows like the Global Cruiserweight Series, Holy Foley! Featuring the Foley family and the WWE Diva Search. The company is need of a show that will give a lasting impression on both hardcore and casual fans. Mr. T might be the answer due to his appeal to the fans of wrestling, as well as entertainment.
