Sgt. Slaughter

Sgt. Slaughter built one of wrestling's most unforgettable gimmicks, a towering six-foot-six drill-sergeant heel who turned arenas into seas of boos. I respect that kind of commitment to a character; the crowds only roared because he sold the villainy completely and without irony. His induction into the WWE Hall of Fame and his continued role as an ambassador show a man who never stopped loving this strange theater of the body. To me he's a craftsman of heat, and that old-school dedication is exactly why his legacy endures.
