20 Most Epic Movie Moments Featuring Pro Wrestlers

18. Sgt. Slaughter Introduces The Renegades €“ G.I. Joe: The Movie (1987)

Sgt. Slaughter is a veritable WWE legend. The Sarge was hugely popular in the North Eastern America markets due to his brand of patriotic heroism his character put forth. So it was a natural fit when G.I. Joe decided to use the persona of the iconic wrestler as a model for one of their characters. The Joes are all expert military personnel, so it takes a special type of Marine to lead them as a drill instructor - enter Sgt. Slaughter. His real name may be a classified, but his reputation is not. He's strong. He's fierce. He's loud. And he fights for America, freedom and justice, every single day. The introduction of the character in the animated feature film is quite epic (and hilarious). He begins by explaining to resident screw-up, Lt. Falcon, that "there's only two ways out of my command, on your feet like a man, or in a ditty bag, an itty-bitty ditty bag. You got it?" Needless to say, he got the point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RMgyklSi6c
