Sgt is 72 years old and this man looks amazing for his age he always put a smile on face as a kid and still does today thank you for all the many memories Sgt! 🙂

[@THEWINDOWGUY35]

Dude can still do the cobra clutch solidly

[@Stacy780]

Cool

Oh wow he 72 now man I’m almost 37 and remember him beating warrior and then facing hogan at wm7

Wasn’t ever in the military 🤷🏻

[@themikays]

@@nl1817 did he say he was, in the video? It's his character. Do you tell people that the Undertaker that is not actually a dead man?

[@reggiewolfpac7711]

I saw him against Cesaro in 2012 even though he was older it was still cool to see him wrestle.

[@nerdmasala]

Everyone remembers him for his accomplishments in the ring, but never forget, if it wasn't for him, Serpentor and the COBRA army would be running America right now

What Duke couldn't accomplish sgt slaughter did

[@AAALLDAY07]

This guy was a real life G.I. Joe character

[@DaRozeman]

Indeed he was. That's why they actually made him one. You just couldn't deny the fact that he BELONGED on that team.

[@newsnowtammylynnlynn484]

As a matter of fact gi joe made a chat just for him

[@Rerpesentz]

Best cross promotion ever WWF and GI JOE!

[@joshhendryx5028]

@Jonny Pee its crazy, alot of people believed his gimmick. That's how good slaughter is

[@marioarroyo2006]

I still remember when Sarge killed Nemesis Enforcer in the “GI Joe” movie!

[@luedanger561]

Slaughter was easily the most marketable wrestler at his time besides Hogan. Theh dude is an official GI Joe. That by itself is iconic

[@toddw14]

He was even in a cartoon like G.I. Joe.

[@Fun-of4wq]

He never actually served though. You'll notice that he took off the marines logo from the hat, just a hole left behind.

[@apostasiaelegcho5612]

You probably weren't alive at the time. No, he was never that big.

[@Fun-of4wq]

@@apostasiaelegcho5612 I know but they aren't using military symbols anymore. Its not PC to wear a marines symbol if you havent served, its called false valor.

[@luedanger561]

@@apostasiaelegcho5612 I think I was hence why I commented

[@williamgray1221]

Ah, old sergeant slaughter. HIGHLY underrated. I missed his prime but i LOVED him being around in attitude era. He's one of these guys I NEVER saw wrestle but I've ALWAYS known who he is. Like the rock or hulk. I never saw hulk wrestle till nwo invasion but I always knew who he was. That's an icon

[@chapingaryjr]

I was at the Hogan/slaughter WrestleMania 7 I was going for slaughter

[@MrDrokkul]

The camera operator who got the shot at 8:43 with the ref reflected in Sarge's mirrored aviators is a pure genius!

If it wasn't a coincidence, I 100% agree!

What could be more iconic than the Swagger Stick and the Campaign Cover 😎 Sarge giving those up so the fans can appreciate them makes me appreciate him even more

[@Dtynes242]

This show is absolutely amazing. I love watching these great people relive the amazing memories they've created.

[@michaellogan9142]

He was the best in person ...most respected person ever in my life...it was honor to shake his hand

I’ve seen people talk down on Sgt because he never was in the military and people felt offended by that character but for me personally he was an inspiration to people to want to join the military. He tackled that character with respect and to this day is one of my all time favorites and lead me to want to join the military. Now I’m a veteran and it’s so cool to see this pop up on my recommended feed

[@samsonmorrell]

I absolutely hated Sgt Slaughter as a kid but what a dude. One of the nicest guys going round. So genuine.

[@Speedyreedy1218]

Most heels are nice in real life and the faces can be jerks.

[@summeronio9751]

This is the kind of additional programming I wanna see from WWE..doesn't always have to be matches. Seeing the superstars interacting with each other and fans in the real world, taking these walks down memory lane. 11 year old me's heart is overjoyed

[@93deiondavis]

That is how their legacy is live on after their long gone, They need to put this stuff in a wwe museum.

[@Jonny.B.]

I remember having a SGT Slaughter wrestling buddy, the big boss man, million dollar man, ultimate warrior, and Bret hart, such good times back then

[@dribbzythunder6923]

Such a humble good human being

[@TheEvanight]

Awesome! I’m so happy to see this. I remember meeting Sgt for the first time at NYCC and I cosplayed as Undertaker. I slow walked passed him and didn’t know he was going to be there I stayed in character, turned my head and gave him a tip of the hat as respect. He gave me a salute in return. It was a great moment for me and I won’t forget it. What a nice guy, definitely deserves the most respect.

[@blake1eelsfan23]

I love how within the first minute and 20 seconds HHH is giving these legends the props they deserve.

[@otis4569]

I would argue that apart from Hogan there was a point that Sgt Slaughter might have been just as popular in the 80s. Especially after the GI Joe character was adapted as well.

[@apostasiaelegcho5612]

No.

[@bennyloppo]

Man he slaughtered my heart for doing such a sweet thing for all the WWE fans. May your legacy live on strong!

[@lfkk4640]

Slaughter and Sheik are legends. Also the best seller of the Stone Cold Stunner!!!

[@TheViperX-117]

Sarge is great. He's really underappreciated.

[@KenDelloSandro7565]

When I was a kid, gi joe has a special mail in thing to get the sgt slaughter action figure. I was one of the only kids in my neighborhood to get one. Good memories

[@DrewBus-mw5qy]

That would be worth money now!!

[@CptWhit3y]

So happy to see Slaughter doing well!

[@CALIEN7K]

This show makes me cry every time. I feel like such a wrestling dork but reliving the history of the business gets me in the softest spot.

[@YameroBroly]

Hes so nice he makes me want to cry

[@shadowguy20004]

Makes me appreciate Sgt. Slaughter more, didn’t ask for money like Lawler.

[@himanshusisodia7065]

Agreed 👍

[@BoboMcBooboy]

I mean… to be fair… the wwe has screwed a lot of its wrestlers… they can say this is “for the fans” but we don’t own it… they do… it’s tough… you could see how much Lawler struggled with the idea. It was all over his face. They kinda screwed his son… they fired his wife for doing nothing wrong but knowing the business and asking basic questions… idk.

[@franklinjones793]

To be honest though I mean you can understand why Lawler asked

[@luisneitzke106]

They offered him the money and were more than happy to get his crown and cape. Lawler did absolutely nothing wrong.

[@aaronparrish659]

god my dad would of loved this whole series im sad he passed a few years to soon to not see it. we grew up watching wrestling and he was a legit historian when it cames to all things wrestling. these videos really hit me in the feels in a good way. rip dad

[@MikeE-hb8zb]

Brought a tear to this old mans eyes... All these years and still pulling that emotion out of people! God bless you Sgt. Thank you for a such great memories!

That one oldman that always says: "I got one more Muhthaphuka, come get it"

Loved sarge. As a Vietnam vets son growing up, he was as close to an icon as you could get for me. How honorable to donate his memorabilia. DISMISSED! - Maggot

[@brucevrooman1248]

Many don't know that sarge lost his nephew Army Ranger Cpl. Ben Kopp in Afganistan. I beleave it was in 3010. Anyone interested get the book Heart of a Ranger. It is the story of his nephew. Well worth the cost and read.

[@christopherderycke3603]

Loved Sgt Slaughter as a kid. So underrated. Great to see him getting recognition he deserves.

[@AussieArcade]

Funny, never ever thought of him as underrated....maybe underrated is just overused?????

[@reggiewolfpac]

I got to see him wrestle on Raw in 2012 even though it was a short match it was still cool seeing him wrestle.

[@CigarKingDom]

He knows what the business gave to him. He probably thought the least he can do is preserve the symbols of the success wrestling gave him. Long live, Sarge!

[@drobaya4078]

I've been watching these episodes back to back and let me tell you, the more iconic they are, the more likely they are to give away their stuff for free.

[@GrimesFinds]

My absolute favorite GI JOe

[@bunch7171]

I would have 2 agree with ya on that...🤘🏼🎸✌🏼

[@kamewaves]

Had the chance to meet him at a signing awhile back, one of the nicest celebrities I’ve ever met

[@aleiterful]

I met sgt slayghter multiple times once at an autograph signing when I was probably 6 and multiple times at airports he actually recognized me after the third time and saluted me when I was getting on the plane and he asked me how my son was doing. He’s a great guy

[@ddelaney712]

Sergeant Slaughter. You were extremely much a part of my childhood and teen years. Thank you. I'm not a member of the military but I'm saluting you sir. You deserve it. Thank you.

[@Saiezyn]

I mean I didn't get to see him in action much, but when I did he left an impression I love SGT Slaughter and I love the Cobra Clutch as a move.

[@ModernVintageTV0]

The Sarge is one-of-a-kind. Glad he's doing well.

[@theghostreckon316]

Small fun fact: When Undertaker debuted in WWE,Sgt Slaughter, who was in the ppv, was 42, when Taker had his last match against AJ Styles, Aj Styles was also 42.

[@sportsfan3168]

Keep the show going I absolutely love it

[@7555mac]

Mean GENE promo with SGT Slaughter had me in stitches when Sgt said Fresno California with a lisp lol.

[@julioguzman3687]

I met Mr Remus at an airport one time and he was very kind and happy to take a picture with me. God bless you sir.

[@MP-in4or]

What a classy guy he is! If I was in his shoes I would have done the same thing and donated it to WWE. Money cannot buy a legend. And being a legend like the Sgt. will live forever. These other wrestlers need to take a cue from him what he just did donating his stuff so all of us fans can enjoy it forever.

Sgt. Slaughter will always be my favorite.
