Do any of you feel any differently about Sarge than you did before he "went Iraqi" on WWF? Over the years I realized it was just a poor choice on his part to accept that WWF storyline, but for awhile back in the early 90's I really felt let down by him. I know I was 14 or 15 at the time, but still it was just wrong to see him up there downing America like that. Did it affect any of you guys that way?

LOL no. he was booked in a wrestling storyline that almost got him killed a few times. He earned his money there.
However, the fact that he wasn't ever in the military is kinda weird. |

He was in the military. He was a Lance Corporal in the USMC. Seriously.

Just another WWF storyline. Much like the WWF Saturday morning cartoon I didn't take anything to serious--except what Mean Jean said.

Robert Remus did serve in the U.S. Marines. He apparently earned his nickname while in the Corps. He became a wrestler (actor) after getting out.
If any of those storylines were actually real, then I might be somewhat offended. But we all know that wrestling is entertainment. Scripted entertainment. |

One of the worst storylines they ever made. You can't blame the wrestlers for that BS. It was ill-timed and in horrible taste, but that's Vince McMahon's signature right there.

I heard a rumor that it was Hogan's idea as he was afraid that Slaughter would rival him in popularity. I don't know how true that is.
It should be noted that the storyline originally was that Slaughter felt betrayed by the embrace of Russian wrestlers after the fall of the Eastern Bloc and turned against the fans. |

A poor choice? That was the best storyline of the early 90's.
