About Sergeant Slaughter:
HEIGHT: 6?3??
WEIGHT: 310
Hometown: Parris Island, SC

Sgt. Slaughter is one of the most recognizable, one-of-a-kind wrestlers of all time. He earned his ring name while serving in the Marine Corps. Upon beginning his wrestling career, his trademark drill attire intimidated adversaries and fans alike. Slaughter has held numerous titles in his career including WWF World Title, the NWA United States Heavyweight Title, and the NWA World Tag Team Titles with Don Kernoodle.

A brutal rule breaker who feuded with the likes of Bob Backlund and Pat Patterson, The Sarge saw the light in 1984 and defended America?s honor against the hated Iron Sheik. In the same year Hulk Hogan became the WWF Champion and Slaughter left for the American Wrestling Association. In 1987, Slaughter signed a contract with Hasbro and was immortalized as a G.I. Joe action figure.

Slaughter returned to the WWF in 1990 and shockingly adopted the persona of an Iraqi sympathizer. He became the most hated man in wrestling, but also won the WWF World Title, the first world championship of his career. Slaughter lost the belt to Hulk Hogan in the main event of WrestleMania VII. He later apologized to the fans for his actions, and was eventually accepted back into the fans? good graces.

Slaughter was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame on March 13, 2004. Sergeant Slaughter is now one of their most trusted and respected road agents. Slaughter is a legend of the squared circle and a welcome addition to the Ballpark Brawl lineup.
