    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.

  • Nikita's Biography Nikita Was Born on March 9, 1959, in Minneapolis
    Nikita's Biography Nikita was born on March 9, 1959, in Minneapolis, Minn. His father was a veteran of World War II and upon returning home after the war, like many veterans of foreign wars, had a difficult time adjusting. When Nikita was two years old, his father decided to leave the family. For the next 20 years Nikita's father was in and out of his life. With no real support Nikita's mother set about the task of raising four children as a teacher's aid in the Minneapolis school system. Although she worked this job well into her 70's, it didn’t pay enough to fully support a family so she was forced to turn to welfare. Nikita found himself and the rest of his family living in the projects of Minneapolis for the next eight years. Finally, escaping the projects at the age of 10, the family moved to Robbinsdale, Minnesota. When he entered sixth grade he stumbled across a copy of "Iron Man," a muscle magazine. Flicking through the magazine he found himself mesmerized at how men could build their muscles. He bought his first weight lifting set - a 110 pound starter set with money he earned as a newspaper boy, shortly thereafter, and began weightlifting. By junior high school he pumped himself up to where he could squat 500 pounds. He played offense and defensive line for the Robbinsdale Robins. After high school, Nikita attended Golden Valley Jr. College and later, Moorhead State University, setting his sites on a professional football career. During his college career, Nikita’s was twice slowed by broken legs.
