Sgt Slaughter tweeted today that he has not been invited to go to Joecon.
He does want to go though as evidenced by his reply to an eager wrestling tweeter. I constructed this tweet to show hasbro and the club how much we want to see the Sarge there, despite what may have been stated unofficially (Just another GIJOE show dropped the bad news) actions speak louder than words. If you are on twitter show your support and retweet! Twitter has power to change minds. Let's use that power to get Sarge to Joecon, or at least show the club he wants to go! It only takes a second to hit the retweet tab. https://twitter.com/skinnyjoefan/sta...22992291131393

So I was thinking which means this could all be coming out of my ass so take it with a grain of Salt. Perhaps THE club was intentionally trying to Rail road The Sarge by calling him Sgt Smasher as to not have to pay the likeness rights. Again ass talk but I know Sgt Slaughter owned his own copyright at one time not sure if he still does. Perhaps THE Sgt Smasher was thier way of getting around not paying him likeness rights. If this is the case that will be pretty shitty on thier part. I mean it wouldn't surprise me as I have personally heard Brian shit talk about Larry Hama and Piper. But Shit talking and Intentionally swindling are two different animals and I really hope it's not the case or he will be getting a lot more than a stink palm from me.

I thought Slaughter's rights were with WWE license which Mattel has. They got around it with the KREO's some years back for reasons I forget.

Yeah honestly I am unsure I know he definitely did own his likeness rights and the Sgt Slaughter trademark name back in the 80s and 90s but not sure if he has kept up on the trademark.

Living in Tampa I have seen many wrestlers in person. I have had Macho man Randy (rip) buy me a drink and have bumped into Hulk Hogan at various places around town as well as many other wrestlers. Seeing all those guys never made me star struck. Now if I had a chance to meet Sgt Slaughter one of my favorite Gi Joe’s? I would get in on a go fund me for that. I might be speechless when I saw him. Loved him in the cartoon.

Back in the 80's he had to leave WWF in order to become a Joe, because it conflicted with wrestling merchandise that was already being licensed at that time. So in order for him to be a Joe, he couldn't be part of WWF during the time that they were producing figures.

I think your facts are a little skewed.
