Sgt. Slaughter says he felt disrespected by not being invited to the Undertaker’s WWE Hall of Fame induction. Slaughter spoke with Sportskeeda and during the conversation, he talked about discovering Undertaker and pitching him to Vince McMahon, which is why he felt it was a “slap in the face” that he wasn’t invited to the ceremony. You can see highlights below, per WrestlingNews.co):

On first discovering Undertaker: “I found Mark Calaway in a box of tapes. As a lot of people know, my back was hurt. I had to go work in the office… I had all these tapes and boxes and envelopes and pictures and letters from wannabe wrestlers and managers and valets and announcers.”

On pitching Undertaker to Vince McMahon: “I said to Vince, ‘You gotta see this guy.’ [Vince] said, ‘Well, I’ve never heard of him, so bring him in.'”

On not being invited to Taker’s Hall of Fame ceremony: “Guess who he didn’t invite to his Hall of Fame? Me, Sgt Slaughter, the guy that found him. Can you imagine not being invited? I should have been in the front row… That was a slap in the face right there. I really don’t understand it.”
