Never again deny the power of the “T”. Mr. T has battled many a righteous foe in his time-- international terrorists, Rocky Balboa, pity-worthy fools who don't treat their mama right...
—but I bet you didn't know he also wrestled persistent catatonia AND WON! If you are planning on having your kid slip into a coma in the near future, make sure to get B.A. Baracus on your speed dial.
This story is all according to the T-man himself, so take it as you will. Apparently during T's heyday in the mid-80's this kid fell into an unconscious state. The only time the boy made any kind of response was when Mr. T's name was mentioned. When Mr. T happened to be in town, the boy's family got a hold of him and asked if he would drop by the hospital for a visit. Upon Mr. T's arrival the boy snapped out of the coma and “hollered out”. The article doesn't say what happened after, but I like to think the boy started breakdancing, doing a little robot followed by the worm, and then he and Mr. T went on to solve crimes.
If you are wondering whether I'm going to make the obvious '"Mr. T can bring a kid out of a coma, why can't he do it for his career'"joke, the is answer is no--no I won't.
