Sgt. Slaughter comments on Lacey Evans’ wrestling attire.
Lacey Evans has taken up a more marine centric character this year, and as such has drawn criticism for her performances, especially from Sgt Slaughter.
Speaking with Bill Apter for Sportskeeda WrestleBinge, Slaughter discussed Evans’ new character.
“I had given some thought about maybe helping her out and maybe becoming her manager or her drill instructor and putting her through Camp Slaughter, and possibly, my daughter, Slaughter Daughter, is a big fixture in Spartan Racing. It’s like obstacle courses, and she does one almost every other weekend. She’s in tip-top shape, she can kick some but. I know, I trained her. She got a little upset with the WWE [because] of her coming out and using the move that I used. I just didn’t understand why they didn’t come to say, ‘Is it okay?’ I would have said, ‘Yeah, it’d be a blessing if you want to use my move.’ Imitation’s the biggest form of flattery, but I wish she would use it right. Don’t just use it to put it on somebody. Put it on to win your match, and not do it for a high spot or something like that. It’s been a move that’s so recognizable in the business, like a Camel Clutch. It’s something that few people can imitate. So I just would like to have had the opportunity to take her and make her a world champion. That’s the only way I would do it. She’d have to go all the way with it. So I kind of just dropped it,”
“I didn’t watch it any further. My daughter kind of got a little upset that now she’s coming out with the campaign cover on, and she’s got a big cobra on the front of it. She’s got her outfit on and showing a lot of cleavage. To me, that’s selling sex. That’s not selling that you’re a tough S.O.B. from the marine corps. She should have a t-shirt on and have the combat boots on and have those fatigues on if you want to emulate Sgt. Slaughter and that you’re from the marine corps and you’re a drill instructor, act like one. Be one. They got plenty of other ladies out there that are the sex symbols. Lacey’s a beautiful woman, and I like Lacey a lot. I got to know her briefly, and I always admired her and respect her because she did serve in the marine corps. I just wish that they would have allowed me to get involved a little bit more,”
We will have to wait and see if Lacey will heed Slaughter’s criticism.
