If it's not Jesse and it is T, I just hope it's a 2 pack with Hogan. I'd love a Wrestlemania Hogan, and they really haven't done a good head scan for Hogan yet.

Would EE ship this exclusive to the UK? Never purchased from them before, got my SDCC Macho on ebay last time.

Could it be a 2 pack? Or is that too bold/expensive for a SDCC exclusive. A 2 pack from Wrestlemania 1 could get me to bite. I have major regrets missing out on Slim Jim Macho

I don’t understand the appeal of Mr T from a wrestling fan standpoint? I do from a cross over, but not wrestling.
Yeah he was there for mania 1 but that show is almost unwatchable now looking back, as is mania 2.
Really mania 3 is when it become truly iconic and looking back today is still a watchable show. I’d say the Andre slam was far more iconic than anything from mania 1
Then again I’m a 90s guy as my name suggests so I’d rather have mantaur or aldo Montoya lol

I don't see why it's hard to believe people would want the main event of the very first Wrestlemania on their shelf.

Maybe, I was just about to turn 2 when WM1 occurred so can’t speak to Mr Ts cultural impact then, I’m not a rocky fan and don’t know if his Rocky appearance was before or after mania? Nowadays however, it’s not a must for inclusion on packages of the past whereas the Andre slam is always shown

Everyone jumping to Mr. T is forgetting that David Sammartino was on the Mania 1 card and has yet to be immortalized in figure form! I heard that he was one of the most highly requested figures a while back, so he gets my vote.

Mr T and Hogan were huge cultural icons during the years after. Mr T appearing in a wrestling along with other celebrity appearances (lauper, Muhammad Ali, liberace etc) made it the attraction it was that opened up wrestling to non wrestling fans. I was too young to be watching at the time and didn't come on board until mania 4 and 5 but I am a fan of what it did for wwf and manias to come.

Ali and Lauer seem to be the two I see most on video packages but yeah, think T was a bit before my time. Mania 9 was my first mania so maybe that’s why it doesn’t appeal to me. Ali as ref would be great

I am starting to believe Mr. T from what all the things people have said. Idk how I feel about him but I guess it’ll be cool. That pretty much sums up my feelings. Not really something I'm excited for, but I'll probably buy it. Yeah I’ll probably grab it just because I get all flashbacks

They said the first Hogan was the Hollywood ultimate edition and that’s not coming until early next year

I probably won’t bite on a T by itself, but a Hogan and T as they appear on the VHS cover/poster would be amazing, and that comes from someone who hates Hogan.

Other celebrities like Lauper and Ali obviously helped but Mr T and Hogan teaming up was THE attraction. Mania 1 was make or break and Mr T's popularity (A-Team, Rocky) was one of the biggest factors for its success.

I guess a 2 pack would be cool if it’s a mr T and piper. I don’t think they’d have enough time to get the Hogan made.

Looking at all the suggestions, I’d love it if the fig was Mr. T or Jesse Ventura. The packaging already looks awesome. Can’t wait to find out!

Whilst I’d love it to be the British Bulldogs, I’m pretty sure it’ll be a wrestlemania 1 Mr T in VHS Style packaging. He’s part of the roster for the WWE mobile game. Oh baby if it’s a Hogan/T 2 pack, I’d love it.

He was on TV, in movies, had his own Saturday morning cartoon, action figures, cereal, etc. Getting him to agree to a match at WrestleMania was a huge get. Without him on the card we may not even have wrestling as we know it today.

Mr. T would be cool. And signs are pointing in that direction.
But. Don't forget.
