4 (Every) Origins of Sgt. Slaughter From G.I Joe - Explored - Toughest Joe Ever!

Telling a story is not an easy job, and I think not everyone can pull it off. Usually, when we think of a storyteller, we imagine a writer, locked away in their room, building an imaginary world with fictional characters. But a story can come in many different ways. Take wrestling, for example. The history of televised wrestling revolves around real people taking up fictional personas to tell a story. Well, that story culminates in a fight, but fans love these characters portrayed in the ring. You’ve got Mark Calaway performing as the Undertaker for decades, or Dustin Rhodes playing a bizarre androgynous character called Goldust in the 90s, but long before them, Robert Remus was one of the OG performers who came up with his rough and tough Drill Instructor persona.
