5 Things I learned from WrestleMania 2 (1986)

#3 Just don’t have boxing matches at WrestleMania

Piper deserves better than fighting Mr T

If you want to see boxing, go see an actual boxing match. Despite this simple idea, the WWE decides from time to time to have “so-called” boxing matches, complete with judges as if it is a real contest. It got off to a bad star with Mr T vs. Roddy Piper on this show.

Roddy was an actual amateur boxer and Mr T was a fake boxer who played one in Rocky III. Piper sure tries his best to sell everything that Mr T does but it is a slow-paced disaster with terrible looking fake punches. It goes on for over fourteen minutes until Piper decided to bodyslam Mr T.

There is nothing like a fake boxing match with an unnecessary DQ ending. Just stick to pro wrestling going forward WWE.
