so, Mr T was the bodyguard for Leon Spinks before he hit Rocky 3 fame but was mr T actually a legit bad ass?
could he handle himself in real fight situations?
-
He did beat up Rocky.
-
He won a toughman competition. Basically boxing matches with just 2 or three rounds or something like that.

I met him once when he was at the top of his career and although it was a short meeting, he seemed to be a damn nice individual.
Peter G. introduced us.
And yes ... he had around 20 pounds of gold link chains around his neck.
-
He was a notorious badass and not a joke.
And by all accounts a nice dude.
-
Legit.
The T stands for Toughguy.

Legit

My Dad took me to those tough man matches as a kid. You never knew what you were going to see but man I remember those fights being bad ass. Like bar fights in a ring with some legit bad asses mixed in, good times!!

Exactly. Back in the day when he was hustling for a buck he was a legit bad ass. Nothing more dangerous then a hungry, jacked, kneegrow.

Def a getbigger out there wearing a weight belt all day.

He was legit, he was even going to fight Lenny Mclean but got the movie roles and shit and pulled out. I don't blame him, why fight a creature like Mclean for 10K when you re gonna be getting 50 times that for saying shit in front of a tv camera.

Three 1 minute rounds with a tournament format where you have to win 3 or 4 fights to win the whole thing. Two weight classes for men and a women's division as well. Had a friend who won several of them before becoming a professional boxer.

Only 10k and 14k gold, so 40-60% of it was silver and copper.

He was sort of a street kid that made good. He was in the Army for a bit, and when got out he split his time between the body guarding, bouncing, and toughman circuit. If you watch some of Leon Spinks's fights from the late 70's, you might see him as he was Spinks's bodyguard for a number of years. The Spinks job lead to him being cast in something called the "Games People Play" which is the actual toughman style contest that got him noticed. At the end, he had to fight another giant bouncer. You can see a few seconds of it here -

That was the show one of the Rocky casting directors saw, and the rest is history.
Also for anyone interested in the early Toughman contests, Tough Guys was a decent look at the early days of it -
.
I think it still might be on Showtime on Demand.

Tough but not very bright. Got fooled into flying every time and never seemed to catch on.

There was a knee-grow dating coach I saw a video by. It was about how confidence is the biggest lie in the dating game [as those of us fit males understand, being in shape and being perceived as strong is very important, even if you are an autistic nerd]. The Channel is called Alpha Male Strategies - AMS.
He would be like "If you never gone bowling before, how the FUK you gunna be confident?" I felt this particular knee-grow looked like a combination of Mr. T and CT Fletcher! I loved how he talked.
There are knee-grows - but I myself only have one knee-grow: WIGGS is my knee-grow. Er, was? His uncle is a super nice guy and drove me around Las Vegas all day when I needed to get memory cards for my camera to get Olympia expo footage. I asked him if illegal immigration was a big issue in the city of Las Vegas, and he said "I don't mean to be racist, but..."
()#*@)(*@#
Are we really at a point where Black people went from oppressed minority, to potential racists for having rational concerns about the consequences of mass immigration? My God...add to that, the uncle of Wiggs had never drank alcohol before, and took issue with what he perceived as a bit of a gun obsession in the USA.
I think Americans are aware that if they lose their freedoms - the entire WORLD loses its freedom. In Canada, it's easy for me not to care about gun rights, as long as my big brother is loaded to the hilt. But Americans know they are the big brother - and don't want another Big Brother taking over.
I literally had to try shoving money down the pocket of Wiggs' uncle and he STILL refused to accept, after driving me around Las Vegas for eight hours. I was willing to give him $120. I can't even remember if he accepted that sum, or any sum at all. I usually don't ask more than three times when a person says no to me when I offer them compensation. I normally follow no means no, but I guess I make that exception.

Where was Wiggs at that time? You should've tried even better at rewarding him.
