Summary

PWTorch editor Wade Keller presents a special Weekend Interview edition of the Wade Keller Pro Wrestling Podcast with guest cohost Bruce Mitchell talking with Sgt. Slaughter. Sarge has not done many interviews before, and none of this length and scope and depth. It took place in front of a live audience on July 26, 2019 at the George Tragos/Lou Thesz Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame event at the Five Sullivan Brothers Convention Center, right after a special Meet & Greet with Sheamus and right before the Impact Pro Wrestling annual indy supercard featuring Ultimo Dragon, B. Brian Blair, Lisa Marie Vaughn, and many locals such as James Jeffreys, rising rookie standout "Golden Boy" Bryce Jordan, Kurt Stallion, The Big Picture, Air Wolf, and many others. In this interview, Slaughter walks through his career from the start, going territory to territory, and character to character, detailing the highlights of his time in each territory and some of the big names he crossed paths with, butted heads with, wrestled again, or shared road trips with including Vince McMahon Sr., Vince McMahon Jr., Pat Patterson, Bob Backlund, Verne Gagne, Wally Karbo, Dusty Rhodes, Hulk Hogan, Iron Sheik, and so many others. It's one of those infrequent "must listen" interviews that the audience and hosts knew as it was happening was something special.
