  • SGT. SLAUGHTER Inducted by Davey O'hannon Listen Up, Maggots! The
    SGT. SLAUGHTER Inducted by Davey O’Hannon Listen up, maggots! The Sarge was once beautiful, and that attracted enemy fire. In 1974, “Beautiful” Bobby Remus was preening around a ring in Vancouver, British Columbia, when he heard fans laughing. “I looked behind me and there was Bob Ramstead behind me blowing me kisses,” Remus said. That night, Slaughter told his wife that “Beautiful” Bobby was getting a dishonorable discharge. He cut his hair, returned it to its normal dark brown, and wrestled as “Bruiser” Bob Remus, one step in the transformation to the jut-jawed, gravel-voiced Marine Sgt. Slaughter, the first celebrity to become a G.I. Joe doll. In 1984, after Remus flipped from a decade as a heel to an American hero, Hasbro inked him as part of its G.I. Joe product line. Remus voiced his own character in the animated G.I. Joe TV series, had his own action figures, and worked as a spokesman for Hasbro. As befits a future soldier, Remus got hooked on wrestling through clandestine ops. Born in August 1948 in Meeker County, Minnesota, and raised west of Minneapolis, Remus was four or five years old, sleeping on a pullout couch, when he heard what sounded like people being killed in an adjacent room. “Here was my father and bunch of his friends and my uncles yelling at the TV screen, watching professional wrestling,” he said. “I started to fake like I was sleeping on Saturdays and I’d crawl out there and watch the show without them even knowing it.” After he graduated from high school, served in the Marines, and joined his dad’s roofing company, Remus trained with Verne Gagne.

  • The Passion of the Superfly
    8/27/2015 Koh M/C Journal, Vol. 12, No. 2 (2009) - 'enthuse' "Gently Caress Me, I Love Chris Jericho": Pro Wrestling Fans "Marking Out" http://journal.media-culture.org.au/index.php/mcjournal/article/view/143 Wilson Koh “A bunch of faggots for watching men hug each other in tights.” For the past five Marches, World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) has produced an awards show which honours its aged former performers, such as Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka and Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat, as pro­wrestling Legends. This awards show, according to WWE, is ‘an elegant, emotional, star­studded event that recognizes the in­ ring achievements of the inductees and offers historical insights into this century­old sports­entertainment attraction’ (WWE.com, n.p.). In an episodic storyline leading up to the 2009 awards, however, the real­life personal shortcomings of these Legends have been brought to light, and subsequently mocked in one­on­one interview segments with WWE’s Superstar of the Year 2008, the dastardly Chris Jericho. Jericho caps off these tirades by physically assaulting the Legends with handy stage props. Significantly, the performances of Jericho and his victims have garnered positive attention not only from mass audiences unaware of backstage happenings in WWE, but also from the informed community of pro­wrestling fans over at the nihilistic humour website SomethingAwful. During Jericho’s assault on the Legend Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka at the March 02 WWE Raw event, a WWE­themed forum thread on SomethingAwful logged over sixty posts all reiterating variations of ‘gently caress me Jericho is amazing’ (Jerusalem, n.p.).

Not many people know this, but I’ve always considered myself an artist of sorts. Ever since I was a young kid, I invariably find myself passing the time by doodling, drawing, and, on occasion, even painting. In the space between my paper and pencil, and in those moments when inspiration would strike, my imagination would run amok and these bigger-than-life personas - football players and comic book characters and, of course, professional wrestlers - would come to life. I wasn’t aware of this until much later, but for all those years my mother would quietly steal away my drawings, saving them for all prosperity, and perhaps giving her a way to relive all of those memories of me as a child. That’s exactly what happened to me when she showed me those old sketches of Iron Man and Walter Payton and Fred Flintstone and Hulk Hogan. I found myself instantly transported back to a time where things were simpler and characters were real and the art was pure. I get a lot of really similar feelings when I look at the incredible art that Rob Schamberger has shared with 2 foreward us all. Rob’s passion for art and for professional wrestling struck me immediately as someone that has equally grown to love and appreciate both, and by Adam Pearce truth be told I am extremely jealous of his talents.
