Mr. T-inspired weapon available in World of Warcraft

Mr. T has lived the life of an ass-kicker. B. A. Baracus was the reason to watch the A-Team. Clubber Lang was the only character to knock out Rocky Balboa. His wikipedia page features a picture of first lady Nancy Reagan sitting on his lap. So you can understand that when he starred in a World of Warcraft commercial (YouTube) and proclaimed there be new additions to the game, that Activision-Blizzard would make it so.

A new ad airing on TV (embedded above) states that a new item inspired by Mr. T called the Mohawk grenade, will now be available in-game, a fact that is corroborated in a recent post on WoW.com. In case you're keeping score, William Shatner and Ozzy Ozbourne have done ads, and Activision-Blizzard haven't created squat based on their commercials. Well done, T.
