Robert Remus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sgt._Slaughter) was once one of the most hated champions in World Wrestling Entertainment.
Armed with a broad jaw a 6-foot-6 inch frame and arms like iron tongs, Remus, better known as "Sgt. Slaughter," played a vicious villain for a large chunk of his WWE career in a storyline that cast him as an Iraqi sympathizer in the early '90s when Kuwait was invaded by the Iraqis under Saddam Hussein.

"Sarge," as he likes to be called, captured the WWE Championship (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE_Championship) title in 1991 but lost it to The Undertaker (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Bollea] Hulk Hogan[/URL] in WrestleMania VII. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2004. Sarge, 58, dropped by the Free Press Wednesday to reminisce and make some picks for WrestleMania 23.

QUESTION: What do you do as a WWE Road Agent?
[B] ANSWER: I'm actually kind of an ambassador for WWE. I help with trying to find new talent, kind of a talent scout, and I also help the current Superstars become better and bigger Superstars. I work under (WWE Chairman)Vincent McMahon and just kind of cary out his orders. He's the general.

Q: Speaking of McMahon, who are you pulling for in the Battle of the Billionaires? (McMahon was challenged by Donald Trump to a match. Trump picked [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Lashley]Bobby Lashley to represent him; McMahon chose [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Fatu]Umaga[URL]. The loser -- McMahon or Trump -- will have his head shaved.
A: Well, I'm going to pull for Donald Trump because I know how much Vince loves his hair.
... We could all maybe make more money if he doesn't have to get haircuts every couple of hours.

Q: Do you know what's going to happen?
A: Vince McMahon's got the edge because he's got a pretty powerful wrestler in Umaga.

Q: What's your fondest WrestleMania memory?
A: I lost my WWE title at WrestleMania VII to Hulk Hogan, so I can't really say that's really a fond memory of the match, but there was a wonderful event in the evening because there were so many superstars there.

Q: What was it like to go against Hogan?
A: We were kind of married to each other there for a while...
I was the Iraqi sympathizer and he was the All-American Hulk Hogan, and it was, you know, good versus evil like they've never seen before.
But he was a tough competitor. ... He had this unusual way of conserving his energy, and the Hulkamaniacs gave him that when he really needed it.

Q: If you could pick any role, what would you create for yourself?
A: I would be a good guy. ...the G.I. Joe of wrestling.
I think it (the WWE) needs somebody to represent the United States right now as a military figure. ... Hoo-rah! Semper Fi!

Q: Will we ever see you back in the ring?
A: One never knows.

Q: If you could pick anybody to go against, who would you pick?
A: I've always wanted to wrestle The Rock. I saw him as a little boy when he would come into the locker rooms ... He and [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Calloway), I'd love to wrestle. My all-time favorite would be Vince McMahon.

Q: What match are you most looking forward to during WrestleMania
A: I'm gonna have to say The Undertaker-Batista ("http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Batista) Match. I'm kind of rooting for The Undertaker 'cause he's not far from my era. I think Batista needs to get his butt kicked anyway. ...I'd like to see The Undertaker put the brakes on and show him you just don't get everything handed to you, you've got to earn it.

A "large chunk?" It was like one year in a career that spans over ten years!

Loose Cannon
03-02-2007, 11:55 AM
he was a big heel back in the late 70's/early 80's. He had some sick matches with Patterson. He turned babyface when he feuded with Shiek

Theo Dious
03-02-2007, 12:18 PM
Yeah but the Iraqi sympathizer business was a very small portion of his whole run.
