I Pity the Fool-Superstars Profile#114

Mr. T

Real name: Laurence Tureaud

Hometown: Chicago, IL

Membership:  Superstars 

A.K.A.: Mr. T doesn't need to be known as anything else 

Finisher: Body slam 

Background: The man, the myth, the legend. 

Indeed, the very personification of the 1980s.

Tureaud was a perfect all-American success story; came from nothing and worked his way up to superstardom. 

T's whole motivation was being the best in any field. Sports, military, even being a bouncer. It was the last one that got him on Hollywood's radar and from there no less a person than Hulk Hogan came to ask him to join the Superstars. 

Which he did, aiding Hogan against Piper before retiring to focus on acting and charity work.
