They could have given him a Falling Down gimmick even though the movie came out 2 years later. Just name him Slaughter without Sgt.

I would repackage him as a former marine/aspiring stand up comedian, Sergeant Laughter and have him deliver the worst jokes known to man then rant at the audience when they don't respond.
How did Darth Vader know what Luke got him for Christmas? He felt his presents!

I've always wondered if Sarge had any sort of internal struggle in accepting the gimmick. Sure he's pretty much just an actor and playing a role, but he's also a patriotic American and former drill sergeant himself...and now he's allying himself with Iraq during the war and burning the flag. I wonder if he gets heat from doing it from former vets.

Slaughter did an interview on our local sports station(promoting Wrestlemania at Levi's Stadium) today and he talked about this...said he constantly got death and bomb threats. He even said he was stabbed and shot at.
In reference to the post above, Slaughter said Vince pitched the idea and that his wife told him not to do it, but he didn't have any problem accepting the role. Vince prefaced the pitch with "main event of Wrestlemania" and Slaughter wanted the opportunity. He said Vince wanted the main event of Wrestlemania to be an American hero story. He immediately knew he meant Hogan.
Also a funny story how he didn't know Shawn Michaels and HHH were going to do the whole "spit wipers" bit and he struggled not to burst out laughing when he came to the ring to confront them.
