Really, the new fans have no clue that Slaughter was involved with G.I. Joe. It would take too much, and too long, to even explain to them what his involvement was.
They are marketing this to the Rock's fans. Slaughter was our wrestler in Joe, the Rock is this generations wrestler in Joe. As for the promotion, as soon as the Rock became champion again, cross-promotion was a no-brainer. Wouldn't surprise me if the Rock becoming champion again was to help hype his movies since he has Retaliation and Snitch coming out. Snitch isn't the type to promote on a WWE show, but just having the Rock on TV more will help that. Retaliation is the perfect movie to hype on WWE.

Would be nice if WWE switchs to Hasbro when the contract with Mattel is up.

I wonder if the WWE(F) had to re-write a whole plotline arc when the GIJOE movie was delayed. They were formulating a rivalry between Rock and Cena pretty heavily on twitter in the months leading up to the initial release date. I suppose they are used to doing that though. They probably have to routinely scramble when injuries arise and have back up plans in place for every plot.
Slaughter reappearing to promote GIJOE would take a 30 second spot or just a mention of the Rock saying "back when YOU were a member of GIJOE". The WWE does have that whole hall of fame thing going on. I haven't watched for years but they used to bring back older legends and humiliate/honor them in the ring all the time. Give WWE fans some more credit on their knowledge of WWE history.
