It looks like Rampage is sporting the mohawk in this picture…

Better.

Can somebody explain to me why Kimbo is going to be fighting in the octagon and Rampage is going to be playing Baracus. Can we all agree that both would do much better in the other man’s position

I pity this fool

if he doesn’t wear t’s goldddd

He absolutely should not wear the gold chains. He should wear his own steel (or whatever) chain. That’s both an homage Mr. T’s neckware and allows Rampage to put his own stamp on the role.

F this noise, where’s the mohawk? No hawk… no rock.

I don’t want a BA with fancy technical pants and a hoody!

I want denim, cutoff sleeves, clashing colorways, head bush, and chains!

odd wardrobe choice

what’s up with the one short sleeve?

other guys are on-point though.

by woooburn on Oct 1, 2009 3:03 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

From the looks of his gear

The sleeve was probably removable. Like the cargos he’s wearing can have the lower legs removed to make em all-weather.

Pics look like it could be Brittania Beach BC. Just a little North of Vancouver, along the Sea to Sky Hwy, on the way to Whistler.

Hope he doesnt try and make his BA like the original.More of a new improvement like bale did for batman

Mohawk?

Wait… Rampage is playing Baracus who was played by Mr. T who sported the Mohawk long before A Team right? I understand that Mr. T became iconic in that role but the Mohawk was his thing not necessarily a part of the character… Right?

I think it would be expected that he had one also. We’ll see…

by JoLy on Oct 1, 2009 8:51 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

But...

Rampage isn’t playing Mr. T… he’s playing Baracus… I would expect him to interpret the character in his own way. * shrug *

I believe the first pic is just Rampage actually experiencing bad breath. The other ones are closer to the actual movie, i believe.

This shirt is "dry clean only", which means it's dirty.

The mohawk

is likely a glue-on thing rather than his real hair.

by MMAInFeRioRiTy on Oct 2, 2009 11:04 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I heard it was CGI

And it SINGS!
