20 Most Iconic Wrestling Costumes Of All Time

20. Sgt. Slaughter

A barking drill instructor who was basically the walking symbol of America until Hulk Hogan came along, no one pulled off the combination of army fatigues and wrestling tights quite like Sgt. Slaughter. Then again, very few ever tried.

The whistle-chomping, insult-hurling, expertly-mustachioed Slaughter was the first to make the military uniform -- complete with campaign hat and sunglasses, because why not go all in on the motif? -- an iconic fashion inside the wrestling ring.

In retrospect, it was a pretty odd look. In fact, it was so cartoonish that Slaughter was turned into an actual cartoon character and became the first "real life person" to be incorporated into the G.I. Joe series. Subsequently, his likeness was used for comic books, action figures, and various other collectibles that made Slaughter a household name, even among non-wrestling fans.
