Today is the 61st Birthday of Robert Remus, better known as Sgt Slaughter. The Sarge has seen his career reborn on several different occasions. As a heel tag team champion in the NWA during the early 80s, American patriot in the WWF during the late 80s and then a heel again this time in the WWF. That time period he was famous for "siding with Iraq" and former hated rival the Iron Shiek during the Gulf War. It all culminated at Wrestlemania 7 in Los Angeles where he put the WWF Title on the line against Hulk Hogan.
I have 2 videos of Sgt Slaugter. First we see the build up to the WM 7 showdown.
Here in this video he is back to being the American Hero taking on Ric Flair in 1992.
