GIJOE NEWS AND TIDBITS

Sgt. Slaughter, one of WWEâ€™s most beloved Superstars of the 1980s, was also a celebrity spokesman for Hasbroâ€™s G.I. Joe toy line and cartoons after leaving WWE.

Hasbro has contacted him again to be a spokesman for the G.I. Joe line and he attributes notoriety like this to his role as a WWE Legend.

â€œWhether I do a G.I. Joe movie or John Cena does â€˜The Marineâ€™ movie, itâ€™s all getting us out there in different avenues and letting people see a different part of the WWE Superstars, the Legends,â€ he said.

I know that Hasbro signed a deal with Roddy Piper this year (another WWE Legend) and made a custom figure of him as Destro's Iron Grenadier Trainer.

Piper was also at this years Joe Convertion as a spokesman.

Not sure, but, my bet is the WWE will have a movie tie-in as they do for several storylines. Hopefully it will only be a classic GIJOE vs. Cobra Match at Survivor Series - Sgt. Slaughter vs. Roddy Piper

I cant see these guys being in the Movie, but, after Robert Remus was quoted as saying "Whether I do a G.I. Joe movie" and not to mention Piper has been on the big screen numerous times? - Kinda scares me...what do you guys think?

If the sarge does show up it will b a very small part. I REALLY REALLY REALLY doubt it.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him in the movie as a cameo.

It depends on how gay they want to movie to be. I despise WWF or any wrestling at all. I could see him as cameo but probably alot of people wouldn't know why or who he is.

I think he should be some sort of General or a Juggler in the background.. but it would be awesom if he said "You're dismissed, Maggotts."

I know people have a problem with the Sarge but he was a part of The Gi Joe franchise and I really liked him on the show, he was kinda superheroish.

But he should not be a featured member of the team.

Both suck, they would ruin the movie.

mistersensitive · 12-13-2007, 12:48 AM

both are awesome and would enhance the movie

Movie, a cameo I would love. Who didn't get a giggle from the placement of the yellow VW bug in the new TF movie. I could use a laugh at the Sarge's expense.

The Sarge getting the 25th treatment, he damn well better. Cheesy, wrestler, fake, blah blah whatever. Here are the facts:

-Immensly popular part of the 80's cartoons/toys
-The man delivered some good one liners
-I still remember his wrestling match with that fat Shiek dude
-If Stupentor, downfall of GI Joe reality got 25th then Sarge better-at least he can prove his lineage
-That Hasbro 25th Custom Sgt Slaughter was HAWT!

How bout when the movie comes to DVD they could put that with the bonus stuff (just an idea).

I really think the Sarge should get a cameo. He shouldn't be part of the main team. He's getting a little old, and a drill sergeant going out and fighting so much was a little silly anyway.

But he needs to have a little cameo, maybe at the end of the movie, they could have a little shot of him training some new recruits. Man, if I get to see the Sarge whipping some maggots into shape in this movie, I will completely geek out.
