That was a fun read. I was never much into wrestling as a kid, but I instantly bought Sarge as a concept and character in my Joeverse. (Fridge...not so much ;))

His heyday was like 1984, when Slaughter's career took off after he turned face by defeating mega-heel Iron Sheik. He was a rising popularity until eclipsed by a similarity themed American hero wrestler Hulk Hogan - who was already doing A-Team and other media appearances. Hogan became the face of the WWF.
After being fired back in the mid to late 1980's Slaughter never really recovered what he lost. I remember when did come back as a heel no one liked in the early 90's and GI JOE was losing steam and the wacky themes and colors were in full effect. |

Just about every pro-wrestler tends to embellish their stories a little bit, and I'm not quite sure I believe the bit about the lawyer grabbing McMahon's finger.....but the part about Vince insisting he owned the character and being furious to learn that he didn't? That's Vintage Vince.

I really enjoyed this. I loved the sarge in Gi Joe and glad he fought hard to be a part

Got to meet sarge over the weekend at a convention. Got autographs and pics. He even put me in the cobra clutch. It was really cool.
