The match itself was sloppy and chaotic, but Hogan and Piper helped improve it. The two wrestlers did most of the work in the match, carrying Mr. T, with Paul Orndorff also doing a good job. Unfortunately, Mr. T was not as capable in the ring and it showed when he entered it.

Despite all of that, this match was one of the first times that wrestling appeared on such a big stage. Mr. T's appearance was critical for WrestleMania. The buzz surrounding the match helped make it one of the most memorable celebrity WWE matches of all time.
