I heard it was a little more vitriolic on the WWF's part because Vinman was pissed the WWE wasnt seeing any kickback from Slaughter's Joe money back around 85. WWE said fork it over or get out and the Sarge walked. Fences were mended around 90, Sarge came back and turned heel backing Iraq and got the world title switching back soon after losing the title in 91. I think the heel turn actually cost him some of that Hasbro cash if not the entire contract. Joe couldnt be supported by the enemy.
