* WhatAnIdiot: In the dumpster fire of a year that was 2020, some Twitter warrior demanded that WWE remove all references to the Sarge, accusing him of "Stolen Valor" on the grounds that COBRA was a fictional terrorist organization. Cue the merciless mockery of wrestling fans.

* XPacHeat: Inverted, when he defected to Iraq he got just the right type of heat for his actions and his character, [[Main/GoneHorriblyRight but it worked too well]] as Robert Remus began getting death threats. Fans back then treated wrestling as more real than they do now. Like those who are seen as TheScrappy and CreatorsPet they wanted Slaughter to go away and die, but in this case [[Main/AuthorExistenceFailure literally]].

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: RealLife example (regarding his Iraqi-sympathizer gimmick) -- his TakeAThirdOption of burning a Wrestling/HulkHogan shirt ([[CrossesTheLineTwice on a flagpole]]) instead of a United States flag, thus getting the desired heat from the audience [[Main/OnlySaneMan without going]] against [[Main/SemperFi his actual beliefs]].
** [[Main/NightmareFuel How insane the whole thing ended up?]] The morning following the incident, The Large Sarge phoned home, but it was engaged. When he phoned the company, they asked if he had spoken to his wife. When he said that he hadn't, they informed him that a fan had phoned the company informing them that he planned to kill him, his boss, their entire families and blow up their houses. Slaughter wife's briefly fled the house in fear and he was told by the company that his family could only return home after accepting a personal security team of four armed officers. He also had to wear a bulletproof vest at all times.
