I was watching early 1985 episodes of Worldwide Wrestling, and one of the big feuds going on was Don Kernodle vs the Russians. Kernodle was not a big enough star for them to star in a feud with the Russians who were one of the big time heel tag teams they had going, they were grooming Nikita to have a run with Ric Flair for the World title, Ivan Koloff former World champion, they feuding with people like Dusty Rhodes, Magnam TA. the Road Warriors, and Don Kernodle, one of them is not like the other.
Anyway Kernodle didn't have a regular tag team partner, he had his baby face friends like Magnam TA, Dusty, and soon to depart Ricky Steamboat who supported him and said if you ever need him, you can count on me, blah blah, it sounds like they were setting up something, similar to Eddie Gilbert's little feud with the Horsemen in early 89 and we all know what that lead to.
Around this time, because of a dispute with Hasbro and Titan sports left the WWF, and I thought they were trying to lead this to Sgt. Slaugher heroic return to help his old tag team take down these evil russians.
Shortly there after the feud fissled, Kernodle became a mid carder, and the Russians went onto feud with the Road Warriors, Ric Flair, ext.
Anyone know if JCP tried to sign Slaugher at this point, and it didn't work out and he went to the AWA instead?
This Kernolde / Russians feud seemed like an obvious setup for the sarg to return. Remember in 84, Sgt. Slaugher was the second most over babyface in the WWF behind Hogan, so signing him would have a big deal for JCP.
