Kelly The Slaughter Daughter has a great personality and is doing a wonderful job of setting herself up to build on her fathers' lggacy with his fans.
Indeed Kelly is a wonderful person!
great video tribute to a great guy. i got a bunch of my own Sarge memories and i hold them dearly. i hope to see him and you all again at Joefest this year
See you there Bart!
A barber and a roofer? A little off the top and a little on the top.
Thanks, Ken! I didn't know very much about Sgt. Slaughter's wrestling background outside of the controversy surrounding the ill-conceived Persian Gulf War storyline. I'm glad it didn't destroy his career! But to me, he will always be the larger-than-life G.I. Joe character I loved as a child.
Mr. Remus never served in the military and had draft deferments during the Vietnamese War. Take what you want from that information.
Well that might be, however you've failed to mention his service against Cobra with GI Joe....
Wrestling is fake
Robert Remus didn’t and couldn’t serve due to having a lazy eye. Take what you want from those facts, and be careful what you read on the internet (wiki) even they can’t substantiate their slanderous claims.
You're the king at these Ken!!! 👏👏
Thx Travis! See you at Joefest.
Awesome work Ken! The Sarge would be proud of this work.
I'm hoping he sees this!
@@ToyKennectionsyou should send it to him.
@@impossiblepie i'll tag him when i share it on Twitter and IG.
This was a way better take than the A&E Bio. My opinion. Thanks Ken.
Thx Joe!
Little trivia: Bobby Vala (Valaverse) is helping to being a live action Action Force film to the big screen. Roman Reigns will star as SGT. Looking forward to seeing how it goes! I think he'll be great in this role.
That movie is gonna be d.o.a

@Steven-ip8xo Hey Mr. Slaughter! How have you been doin’ Sergeant?! Glad to see you in the comment section!
Fantastic video Ken!
Thx for watching man!
I don’t remember the Iraq heel stage. That may have been tough to swallow as a kid. Honestly I had moved away from wrestling by that point. Working and saving for my car became my passion and probably just other stuff. But I enjoy Sarge mostly through GI Joe now.
I hate Sergeant slaughter forgot Iraqi sympathizer villain. What a heel turn
That was an awesome video I got to meet him last year! I have all four G.I. Joe figures of him I mailed away for both the G.I. Joe 3 3/4 and the Wrestling LGN figure when I was a kid. I have the 3 3/4 G.I. Joe still but somehow I do not unfortunately have said LJN Hasbro Wrestling figure it is on my grail list it’s so freaking expensive though. 😢
He wrestled in the NWA Central States Territory out of Kansas City in the mid 70s or so as "The D.I. Bob Slaughter."
Thank you for the video. Met him last year at San Diego Comic Con. He was awesome to talk with .
Sgt. Slaughter should’ve been a character in the NES game.
Great Video.
Thank you.
😅 oh I see he put that smack down on you when he was holding us at that table huh lol
This made me smile. That saying... you should never meet your heroes... but Sarge sounds like the exception!
He sure is!
Yes, he has many toys from Hasbro, Jakks, and Mattel.
Love it! ❤❤❤
Thank you Kelly! It was a fun one to make.
Recently I've seen more and more individuals accusing Robert Remus of Stolen Valor, which is an accusation that is patently ridiculous. I think anyone who accuses Sarge of stolen valor clearly doesn't comprehend the breadth of his impact, and the sheer number of individuals influenced by Sgt. Slaughter, be it as a wrestler, GI Joe spokesperson, GI Joe character, or American Patriot, who invariably went on to serve in the Armed Forces. If anyone owes anyone anything, the US military owes Sgt. Slaughter an untold amount of honor, gratitude, respect, and adulation, as I can guarantee his cultural influence as a public figure, across 3 decades, likely resulted in countless young Americans becoming inspired to join the armed forces. In a post-Vietnam War, post-draft/mandatory conscription world, where the general public is aware that the US military frequently forwards questionable US global interests at the behest of hawkish politicians, who couldn't care less about the lives and well being of the replaceable commodity known as American soldiers, Sgt. Slaughter was one of very few individuals who promoted the armed forces in a positive light, made the idea of fighting for one's country "cool," and genuinely incited young people to enlist. Regardless of whether or not you believe that the US military industrial complex is a more harm than good, that the US should be spending nearly half of the unfathomably large federal budget on "defense," or that encouraging 18 year olds to potentially sacrifice their lives for American corporate interests under the guise of defending "American Freedom" is grossly unethical, Sgt. Slaughter has done far more to aid the all the branches of the armed forces, than he's personally benefitted from using their name, image, and general association. My argument is that US Military owes Sarge something.... a tremendous debt of gratitude! They should absolve him of any accusations of "stolen valor,' make him an honorary Drill Sgt. in the US Marines, and treat him with the honor and respect he deserves, as while he may never personally served, he's clearly been responsible for the service of countless soldiers who have. ....AND THAT'S AN ORDER!
You don't go around and claim to have served if you didn't. PERIOD
@@chrischar9428 1. The Marines made Sargent Slaughter an honorary Marine. They knew he was a character.
2. Kayfabe is Kayfabe. Wrestling is scripted, wrestlers are characters. The Iran Sheik worked with the US Olympic team in amateur wrestling. Wasn't a bad guy behind the scenes.
3. Bob Remas never called himself as a Marine. Sargent Slaughter the character was a Marine. Like Tom Cruise in a few good men. Outside the ring he was just Bob.
I've met the man during a USO show in Saudi Arabia when I was a young Marine and I can tell you the Marines loved it! Don't assume you talk for all soldiers or veterans. If the Marines wanted to press charges they would have.
salute the goat of wrestling 😇💯
Hes a very courtesy and generous man.
Another homerun Ken!
Thx for being in the premiere chat tonight!
Very thorough job....
Love your video on one of the greatest of all time, Sgt. Slaughter. Thank you for this awesome tribute
Very welcome.
What a great video. I met the Sarge a few times and hes a very nice guy
Thx for watching!
OUTSTANDING!!! 🫡
Yo Joe
Nice video 👍 but have You ever heard of Muhammad Hassan? 😊
Great video, Ken!
☕️😎
