The winners of WrestleMania 1: Where are they now?

Hulk Hogan and Mr. T

I pity the fool!

Hulk Hogan and Mr. T defeated Roddy Piper and Paul Orndorff in tag action with Muhammad Ali and Pat Patterson serving as special guest referee's.

It is important to understand the pressure WWE officials were facing at the time of WrestleMania. In this event, Vince and crew wanted to make sure that any and every detail was carefully and methodically thought out. Essentially, this was set to be a make or break situation for the company.

In order to make sure they had the very best opportunity to make the event a success, Vince wanted to bring out the star power, which he did. As previously mentioned, Cyndi Lauper participated earlier in the night, but in the main event, one of the biggest stars in all of the entertainment industry at the time, Mr. T, was brought on to compete as a special guest tag team partner for Hulk Hogan.

In the end, Mr. T and Hulk Hogan came out on top with the big win in the night's main event, defeating Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff and 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper.

Where are they now?

Hulk Hogan

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few years, then you are well aware of the controversy that has surrounded Hulk Hogan. Not only has he battled the drama stemming from the sex-tape fiasco, but there was also the leaked audio, which ultimately resulted in Hulk being terminated by WWE.

In the years since Hogan has indeed been on his own road to redemption. Hogan has publically denounced his remarks that were made in the leaked audio. Also, Hogan defeated Gawker Media in 2015. As a result of the lawsuit, Gawker was ordered to pay Hogan roughly $115 million dollars.

Hogan also owns "Hogan's Beach Shop," which currently operates 2 locations in Florida, one being in Clearwater Beach, while the other was recently opened in Orlando.

Mr. T

After decades of television and film success, Mr. T has pretty much retired from on-screen performing. His most recent television appearance came in the Spring of 2017, as Mr. T was a participant in the 24th season of 'Dancing With the Stars.'

Mr. T has dedicated most of his life to his ministry and his renewed Faith in Christianity. In 2014, Mr. T was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
