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.

Maybe Slaughter could get a setup similar to former WWE superstar Virgil. The man would make a mint.
The only thing that would keep Slaughter himself from showing up is if his WWE legends contract(if he is still under it) prevents it or the club not wanting to pay his appearance fee. As far as the figure goes, his likeness is probably under the WWE contract with Mattel whether Slaughter controls it currently or not is probably covered under any legends contract with WWE in that WWE controls it as long as Slaughter is under contract. As far as Kreo Slaughter goes, building block likenesses are usually under different contracts.(Hasbro has the Star Wars figures, Lego has the building blocks. |

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.

It would take a private gofundme, seeing as how DePriest himself popped onto that FB page and said it wasn't contractually possible (or something of the sort).

Too late now, but creative folks could have figured out a way to make the Shield Supercarrier into a ME Flagg. This should have happened.

If you search the customs thread, you will see some customs. I remember someone took a helicarrier, and put it on top of an SDCC helicarrier. It was pretty Sweet.

Still sounds like they don't wanna pay him. I say we do it on our own. I would be more than happy to toss some cash at it.

It would be much appreciated. I really think a bunch of us could get this going for very little out of pocket. I know some folks are working on ideas now.
