When did he become Sgt. Slaughter?

[DotDotkins]

@phi1166 Sgt. Slaughter (the gimmick, not the man) would make its debut in the WWF sometime near the end of 1980. Not sure of the date when he first debuted as the Sarge but he was originally a heel.

@DoktorSick I kind of blame WWE for that one. A lot of people blame the "smarka", while guys like Dave Meltzer have their share of blame too, the WWE itself are the biggest ones to blame when they came out and threw kayfabe out the window in the 90s

@ThePGeraFuckingSucks I totally agree ! Now everyone is a wrestling critic.

@DotDotkins I knew he was a heel first. I was only exposed to the WWF at the time. I never knew if the Sgt. Slaughter popped up before his 1st WWF run.So, WWF was one that came up with the gimmick or where he had it first. I know he went to Mid Atlantic area from WWF

God I miss the days before the internet likr these days when wrestling fans didn't care about such things as "workrate", "bladejobs", etc
