SGT. SLAUGHTER JOINS THE TUCSON COMIC CON LINEUP
August 29 - August 31
Tucson Comic-Con announces the next big addition to the guest lineup—wrestling legend Sgt. Slaughter is coming to Tucson!
Sgt. Slaughter is a professional wrestler known both for his work in the ring and his likeness as a G.I. Joe character. He is a former WWE World Heavyweight champion and headlined WrestleMania VII. From the late 1970s to the early 1980s, Slaughter had success in the National Wrestling Alliance, American Wrestling Association, and the World Wrestling Federation. He has also held the NWA United States Heavyweight Championship twice. In 2004, Sgt Slaughter was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. In the 1980s, Sgt. Slaughter’s character was incorporated into the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero toy line as well as its animated series and comic books. Sgt. Slaughter first appeared in the five-part TV episode entitled “Arise, Serpentor, Arise!” and is one of only a few real people to be produced as a G.I. Joe figure, and appeared in G.I. Joe: The Movie.
