Jim Cornette Reviews A&E's Sgt. Slaughter Biography 

At 12:00 AM , that speech will be replayed in English.

I remember that Sarge. My mom took me to see him wrestle at a local baseball park. He was with Kernodle and Nelson and wrestled Flair I believe. Nelson and Kernodle wrestled Stramboat and Youngblood in a cage. Those were the days!

Wheres don kernodle???

@@stevew7571 he was being carried by Sarge into a main event program. Being a lucky MFer. Then dropped back down to where he belonged after Sarge left, never to sniff past 3rd match on the card again. Pvt. Nelson was the talent among Sarge's Corp. Or at least the one that found a gimmick that got him further anyway.

Doing this in my Classified Collection, the Crimson Twins use pro wrestling double teams

Jesus this comment just brought me back to my childhood, lol. GI Joe and wrestling, mostly Jim Crockett's NWA, were my two passions as a kid. I would try and make my Joes represent certain wrestlers. I remember almost all of them. I had a native american Joe named "Spirit" who was my Wahoo McDaniel. There was "Recondo" whos mustache made him Paul Jones. "Quick Kick" was Ricky Steamboat. I forget there names but two of Zartans dreadnoks were my road warriors. "Dr. Mindbender" was bald so he was Gary Hart. "Roadblock " was the Junk Yard Dog. And I remember there was a blonde guy in a Hawaiian shirt named "Chuckles" that was my Ric Flair who I would team up with three of sgt slaughters "renegades" to make my own 4 horseman. Good times! I wish I still had them. I think I owned just about every GI Joe figure between 85 and 90. They all became hand me downs to my nephews and are long gone today.

​@MrAnthimos112 you helped sculpt their childhood by giving them those figures

This might be my favorite RU-vid comment of all time, so I will gladly chime in.... I was never a big collector of Joes, but I had plenty of other toys to make my fed, from WWF to He-Man to Dick Tracy to Captain Planet to Power Rangers.... Captain Planet's Duke Nukem was my tallest action figure, so he chokeslammed his way to many victories and the Winged Eagle. The Red Ninja Ranger had the most articulation, so he was favorite to throw everyone around with. The Black Ninja Ranger superkicked the competition. Blue Ninja Ranger threw the Roaring Elbow with pinpoint precision. The Black and Red Zeo Rangers were the Brothers of Destruction. Dick Tracy and Sam Ketchum were the biggest babyface tag team I had. However, the king of my ring was the ultimate Power Rangers baddie....Lord Zedd. Putting many opponents away with his dreaded DVD, followed by his devastating tope rope leg drop. He ruled with an iron fist, until a debilitating leg injury derailed his career ( his leg broke off, and I had to superglue it back on. He was never the same. Sigh.) Those were the days.

Ha ha! I did that stuff too! 80s kids were the best!

Back in the day Sarge had all the best insults. I have to assume he either ad-libbed or had script input for his character's lines on GI Joe

So?

@@Rjensen2 so what ? Aren't I allowed to comment

That story about him and Sarge riding along with the fat women with no teeth 🤣

Is that an order?

if you're going to rip off a line from a movie character you could do a lot worse than Kilgore from Apocalypse Now.

He was smelling ring worms.

It smells like victory.

"Charlie don't surf."

That's Mantell ...

Yes!

She was brutal!

It was a great documentary. But also ruined by his whiny, grown up kids and ungrateful, unsupported wife

That's a shame, she's always had such nice things to say about you. 🙄

@@davey3884 You hitting that old bat on the down low? You better hope Sarge doesn't find out!

Most everybody else did, too.

@@specialk9424The WWE gave him a memorial post in 2006 because they thought he had died. He hadn't and lived until 2021.

Funny how short his run was. But alot of people had his ljn action figure .

Your dad probably thought he actually served. Epecially since he was suppose to be a marine not the Army.

I worked with a guy who was in the military and told him about the stolen Valor thing when it happened his words so what do you know how many of my soldier buddies love him as kids. And talked about meeting him and respectful Sgt was towards the other soldiers

Nobody really cares homie everybody served in military at some point

​@@stevesherm260nah

"I don't care if your mama lives there with another man" 😂😅

They couldn’t figure out a finish

He had a great match with the Nemesis Enforcer.

Naah fuck New Jersey

Thank you 😂😂😂😂😂

*Burlnt'un

Xpac was there . He would definitely know.

Maybe she means he beat Billy back to the hotel or he beat him at a pancake eating competition

Greg Gagne was there, both he and Ken Patera verified the story

It happened homie get woke

If the guy who "should" win, always won, fighting wouldn't be a spectator sport.

@@stevesherm260Why are you telling a guy you don’t like to get informed and enlightened?

Yeah with as many pictures he's taking with military people and meeting presidents you can't be blamed

​@@Emperor_x8that plus he claiming he was in Vietnam

He was as much of a marine as Captain Kangaroo was.😂😅

I can't believe he wasn't even a Sgt.

Yeah my dad hated Slaughter, my dad was in Vietnam.

That's the thing. A gimmick like "Sgt. Slaughter" from old-school wrestling, the whole Iraqi thing him vs Hulk Hogan at 'Mania, etc. and now kids today still thinking his action figure looks dope is what's missing with today's wrestling stars. Storylines and auras. That last for generations

I vaugely remember the tug of war with Bigfoot stuff... another thing people forget with exactly how big Bigfoot was back then. Also, wasn't there a later version of the "Battle Batallion" where Slaughter was swapped with Hogan? And I think it was also about the time when Gravedigger became the draw for the trucks instead of big blue?

OMG I remember the commercials for that tape! That's awesome!

@DefendYoungstown WCW did a monster truck sumo match at Halloween Havoc in the late 90's (I want to say '98) where hogan and the giant each had a custom bodied truck, hogan won the match and the segment ended ended with giant falling off the roof of Cobo Hall. Both of the trucks used were built by Bigfoot 4X4X4, one was a reskinned bigfoot 14 and the other was an old snakebite truck from 1994. They actually had bob chandler on the broadcast as an "expert commentator" for the match, but they didn't explain who he was or that his company built the trucks.

@@ethankeller1835 There's also a hilarious bit at the end where there's a "music video" for big bad and blown and sarge is standing in the back of a super modified 4X4 pulling truck miming along to the song on guitar, but he's not even trying to pretend he's playing along too it. But the funniest part is that the guitar he's using is a budweiser logo shaped guitar that they scotch tapped a piece of white printer paper that says "slaughter" on it too, so it's a budweiser shaped logo guitar that says "Slaughteriser" instead.

That's funny. I remember G.I. Joe had a "Refrigerator" Perry figure also. These toy nerds must have cried.

@@maitreyas.4902Those toy nerds somehow managed to father the dubbalos.

The ones bitching about "stolen valor" the loudest are the ones who never served, and also idolize a grifter who didn't serve. Something about bone spurs, or something.

True dat. I myself am a rather hard working blue collar pimp. My wife does not appreciate my hos, my manicures, my jimmy wacking part timers, my Cadillac Eldorado, my cups filed with cognac, or my herpes. She is certainly willing to max out my American Express. Women.

​@@BuJammy It's hard being a pimp these days

Not yet. Should be soon since the Buff Bagwell Dark Side already came out. Hopefully this week!

What did Nia Jax do?

U got jokes c'mon now. Earthquake as in John tenta lol​@@MariuszMroczek-dd7ku

Except for the part where he blindly over the top supports the dementia riddled guy who is handing our country to people who hate us. Other than that…

You must get a lot of girls lmfao 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

And popeye

Bob Keeshan, aka Captain Kangaroo, was in the US Marine Corps Reserve, in 1945, at the end of the war.

I live in Vermont and nearly wet myself laughing

I would watch "Guess where the memorabilia is from" where Brian gives as many details about an object as possible without using the federation's name.

Rightfully so

Me too, why pay both he and Bisch to give interviews where all they say when asked about controversial moments that fans really want to hear about is "I don't remember" 😂

Everyone does

​@@chrischar9428no. I loooooooove him

Dumber than that was renaming him Col. Mustafa

Burlington, Ontario, Canada! Lol

The only Burlington coat factory in the mid Atlantic region was in Burlington North Carolina, the whole area was built up around it back in the late 80s.

You are correct. A small factory seconds store overflowing with clothes. I think it was off of Route 130 but can’t remember exactly.

Burlington, formerly known as Burlington Coat Factory, is headquartered in Burlington Township, New Jersey. Many apparel retailers were headquartered in that region of PA/NJ.

Greg deserves a little credit. Comparing him to George Gulas is a little harsh.

@@Uuusssaaas Over pushed promoters son, comparison is dead on. Was pushed way too high on the card. As a tag team wrestler with Brunzel he was fine but as a single he was a complete joke.

@@johnkolko5199 I agree. But George Gulas? He might be one of the 10 worst wrestlers of all time. Gagne could wrestle, but he was too small to be believable. Gagne should have worked behind the scenes. He has a decent mind for the business. He had no business wrestling after intermission.

@@johnkolko5199 Nah greg was a talented tag team wrestler, no where near George Gulas who wasn't talented at anything.

Someone said it

being that traumatised by the I quit match made more sense mind you, like that was a snuff match tbh
