Sgt. Slaughter's habit of barking commands and starting drills with anyone he meets is intimidating enough, but with war accolades and wrestling championships under his belt, and even an airstrike he can call, he has no problem reminding you his bite is worse than his bark!

Hulk Hogan def. Sgt. Slaughter (c) w/ General Adnan for the WWF World Championship in 20:26

Slaughter’s out first with everyone’s favourite, General Adnan! Hogan’s out next with a big American flag and bandana! Mr. America is well-loved! Slaughter is mildly disliked! Macaulay Caulkin in the crowd is the highlight so far! Hogan chases them around the ring but they get in and start the proceedings. They lock up and Hebner can’t keep them apart! Hogan has the power! Slaughter sells a shoulder tackle amazingly and nearly throws himself to the apron! Hogan follows him out, Adnan hits him, no DQ, and Hogan no sells! Slaughter hits him with a chair with a jacket on, no DQ, Hogan no sells! Back inside, Slaughter begs for mercy but it was a ploy and he works over Hogan. Big pendulum knees which looked great. Hogan dodges the elbow drop and runs wild, taking out Adnan on the apron! Regis Philbin is on commentary! Hogan slams Slaughter on every turnbuckle and throws him all over the place! Slaughter sells a corner irish whip very well! Hogan shoves Slaughter whilst beating down Slaughter! Why does everyone hate Hebner? Slaughter’s selling is good but he is just being slowly beat up for ages. Slaughter attacks mid-double axe handle but Hogan no sells. Slaughter is able to throw Hogan off the top after Adnan grabs the leg. Sends him outside and grabs another chair! Hebner is counting but there’s seemingly no DQs? Chokes Hogan with a cable and throws him inside! Works him over and has a fun interaction with Hebner after a 2-count where he thought he won! Deep boston crab from Slaughter but Hogan is LITERALLY UNDER THE ROPES! He eventually grabs it and they break it up, Slaughter thinks he won again. Slaughter heads up top with a big knee drop. He pins Hogan but Adnan is distracting the ref. He grabs a third different chair and hits Hogan over the head while he’s draped in the ropes. 2-count but Hogan is bleeding like mad! Slaughter keeps the fight up and locks in the Camel Clutch. Let’s go to stomp on the back of Hogan and locks in back in. Adnan is loving it! Hogan stands up and Slaughter holds on for dear life and sends Hogan into the corner. He pins him with the Iraq flag but Hogan kicks out, tears it, and Hulks up. No sells, point, big boot, leg drop, 1-2-3! Hogan wins! Finally..He then waves the American flag in celebration (and cleans his face on one a fan throws him…)

Pros: Slaughter sold well, the claret made things intense Cons: Far too long, slow, inconsistent rules, distasteful story, weird pacing, step down in star power (no disrespect to Slaughter)

This match was weird. The inconsistent rules and odd pacing made it strange to analyse and the action was so-so. Mostly run of the mill, and the story in the build up and the match was uncomfortable I thought, especially considering it wasn’t overly effective. Went on so long too, would have been better at half the length. Slaughter gave it his all though and the fans still love Hogan!

And that’s if you count the first three miniseries as separate seasons. It’s also the most important going into the movie…
