History Wrestling / SgtSlaughter

* RedemptionQuest: Following SummerSlam 1991, in which Slaughter and his team ([[Wrestling/TheIronSheik Col. Mustafa]] and General Adnan) lost to Wrestling/HulkHogan and Wrestling/TheUltimateWarrior, a storyline was started that had Slaughter reflect on what his Iraqi sympathizer heel gimmick cost him and what it would take to regain trust of Americans. The path was started in a series of vignettes where he recited the Pledge of Allegiance with fans and school students. His face status was re-established in full when he helped save one-time adversary Hacksaw Jim Duggan from a 2-on-1 attack by Mustafa and Adnan. [[note]]Of course, it wasn't enough to stop fans from voting Slaughter the Most Hated Wrestler of the Year in the ''Pro Wrestling Illustrated'' magazine's 1991 year-end awards.[[/note]]

** While Sgt. Slaughter played an Iraqi sympathizer (during the GulfWar no less...), he was asked to burn an American flag before a match with HulkHogan. Slaughter refused, but offered to burn the next best thing, one of Hogan's trademark shirts on a stick.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: He wanted to beat the daylights out of the New Age Outlaws when he threw a dumpster that had Wrestling/TerryFunk and Wrestling/MickFoley. Keep in mind, he's one of the henchmen of Wrestling/VinceMcMahon and they were shocked on what happened.

* TheQuisling (One of, if not, his most memorable Heel role)
