Random question: Which wrestlers served in the military? I'm guessing that it's going to be a short list.
Off of the top of my head:
Road Dogg Chilly Willy Sgt. Slaughter Randy Orton went AWOL
Any others?

Poor Gunner gets no respect. He's Mr. Intensity after all.

There is no proof Slaughter was ever legitimately in the Marines. He may very have been, but every reference to it, even outside of wrestling, only goes on his say-so and kayfabe character.

No one saw more action in the field than our favorite war correspondent, Michael Cole, so he deserves AT LEAST an honorable mention...

Ummmm not to embarrass you...but Sarge threw one of the most epic beatdowns in history on Nemesis Enforcer. To say that didn't earn him a "legit" spot in the military kind of makes you a communist.

All I know is that Col. Ninotchka had me questioning my patriotism.

I'm completely guessing and basing this off Teemu Selanne entering the NHL late as a result of needing to fulfill his mandatory military obligations and say Lugvig Borga.
Wikipedia confirms this guess. So, that's two guesses for him.

I don't think Bearer ever wrestled, but close enough, really.

Antonio Cesaro. All males in Switzerland are conscripted when they reach the age of majority and usually serve between the ages of 16 and 20, while Cesaro didn't receive his Green Card until his mid 20s so odds are he did his stint in the armed forces.
