The Fridge was cool, but I never felt like we needed celebrities in the ranks. Even Sgt. Slaughter was a stretch. Rocky Balboa would've been the franchise equivalent of the Fonz jumping the shark. The Joes/Cobras were enough for me.

I see your point on Rocky. It would likely have been too much and possibly a “Jump the Shark moment” for Joe if he dominated the media. Sometimes the best decisions are the ones that don’t get made. |

I still have fond memories of my grandfather and uncle sitting with me at the dinner table in Chicago, going on and on about how great they thought William Perry was.

Honestly if they wanted to recruit a Chicago area football legend to the Joe team, I would have choose this guy. Watch out Cobra, he’s “Married.....with children.”

I liked the addition of Sarge. Thought it was cool to have “real” Joe. Fridge didn’t bother me cause he was basically figure only, no comics are cartoon. The Bears were so popular in 1985/86.

When NFL came to the UK on Channel 4 my dad watched it, he supported the Washington "Football Team" I suppose I should call them, but I supported the Bears. I dunno why Dad supported the DC team, but I supported the Bears just because I loved the fact there was a guy called The Fridge on their team.
