10 Most Totally Random WWE Matches Ever
1. Sgt. Slaughter Vs. Cesaro - RAW 2012
Whenever a pro wrestler was needed to symbolise the United States of America to get the heat on a dastardly anti-American heel, Sgt. Slaughter was there.
It's very weird that he was there in 2012 as a very decrepit geezer, granted, but he was there nonetheless. Slaughter felt compelled to defend the hallowed ground and rid it of a...
...cultured gentleman who could speak five languages fluently.
Was Sgt. Slaughter best equipped for the job? What's American about disrespecting the military? Oh wait, it's something that connects him to the highest office in the land. Scrub the question. Slaughter looked like he had bone spurs on the December 31, 2012 Monday Night RAW. In fairness to the man, he was 83 years old when it took place.
The-then 'Antonio' Cesaro summoned Slaughter, and after a pre-match spiel that wasn't even inflammatory, he defended his United States Title against him on 'Champion's Choice Night'. Cesaro "chose" to go over a dinosaur in a crap moment of passé cheap heat.
There wasn't much to it, obviously - a Cobra clutch pop, and an escape into a Neutraliser - but we did learn from Cesaro's swift and decisive victory that he was better, literally, than America itself.
