Highlights are below:
On turning his back on America in 1991, feuding with Hulk Hogan and why he refused to go ahead with certain ideas: ” I had to wear a bullet proof vest, I had to go to my airplanes not through the terminal. They took me up the side of the airplane on stairs. I never flew with any of the other talent. I never dressed at the arenas, I dressed at the hotels, they would come and pick me up. Lot of death threats, bomb threats, Mr. McMahon’s family and my family were given death threats. Our houses were threatened to be bombed. Our children were threatened to be killed. When I got the call from Mr. McMahon to come back, I was expecting him to take G.I. Joe and really take it to as high as it could go. He had different ideas. He wanted me to do the opposite. I think it was the right time, right thing to do. He needed an opponent for WrestleMania for Hulk Hogan or Ultimate Warrior or whoever might have been the champion at that time. So, they were kinda looking a year ahead. I came back after WrestleMania VI and started doing our vignettes and promos of Sgt. Slaughter, the turncoat. Vince assured me, he said, no matter what we do here, one day when we decide to cut it off, they’ll accept you back. The Americans and the WWE Universe they forgive you. I just didn’t realize it was going to go that far, that deep. He gave me the reigns, he said if you go too far I’ll pull you back. There were suggestions of burning the American flag, I said no I can’t do that.”
On plans for himself and Jack Swagger: “Sgt. Slaughter was supposed to be Jack Swagger’s man. But he was gonna go in the other direction, he was gonna come to me. I was gonna put him through boot camp and have him come back as a hero.”
