Dragon King Karl’s HoF ballot talk is up. Highlights include not voting for Sgt. Slaughter because of stolen valor, being shocked by the non-induction of the Four Horsemen, an off-hand dismissal of June Byers despite being primarily a historian of that error (“I don’t study women’s wrestling”), and multiple attempts to pronounce Japanese names.

I haven't listened to his shows in awhile because his kayfabe tournament sounds like a HORRIBLE listen, and hearing him plug his website is kind of depressing. But I'm curious to hear him turn on Sgt Slaughter.

Yeah his kayfabe tournament was awful and I stopped like two episodes in. I mostly just listen to his Dragon King Dark stuff now, but his Hall of Fame show was good.

As Punch notes, outside of him being done with Slaughter, the best part is when he goes on a tangent about how he's certain the Four Horsemen are in the HoF and then finds out in real-time that they're not.

Was Karl previously pro-Slaughter? If so, why did he decide NOW that the gimmick is/was valor theft? The way Slaughter handled it in mainstream interviews?

He was strongly pro Slaughter. He’s not concerned about the character, he’s concerned with claims in shoot and mainstream interviews where he claims to have served.

I don’t see anywhere online outside of a couple message board threads that says Slaughter didn’t serve.

The best episode of the Flair/Conrad show is the time he talks about bringing his mistress to Australia. He gave so few fucks that she was in the newspaper with him while he was either married or soon to be married to Beth back home, (probably rightfully) assuming it wasn't like it would get back to her.

There's a Baltimore Sun article from 1985 with a section on Slaughter, and it's pretty strongly inferred that he didn't serve:

https://www.newspapers.com/clip/28872549/sgt_slaughter_valor_theft_part_2/

I really should just pull his records, but the "military records of living people" thing is an element of FOIA that still confuses me.

i recall my dad being fascinated at the resemblance between s. slaughter and chyna i think he lacked the vocabulary/self knowledge to admit he had the hots for chyna but still: i do not really give a poo poo whether or not slaughter was in the shoot army he was good at the wrestling and that is all i judge him by. the cobra clutch was an a-tier submission

You'll hit your head and say: 'Boy, how stupid could I have been. A moron could've figured this out. I must be a real dimwit. A pathetic nimnal. A wretched idiotic excuse for a human being for not having figured these simple puzzles out in the first place...As usual, you've been a real pantload!
Slaughter served his time as a trainer of G.I. Joe and that's good enough for me.
