Bleacher Report posted an article just a few days ago including a video showing an interview with none other than Sgt Slaughter! In the video, Sarge talks about his career and answers a few questions. Some of these answers reveal some intriguing information for "what could've been", for GI Joe Retaliation; it turns out that Roadblock was originally supposed to seek out Sgt Slaughter instead of Joe Colton! So what was the roadblock in question? Mattel!

"My sources told me that the character that Bruce Willis (General Joseph Colton) is playing was supposed to be me, but they couldn't use (the) Sgt. Slaughter (character). The Rock, who plays Roadblock, goes out and gets someone to help him, and it was supposed to be Sgt. Slaughter. That kind of hurt a little bit."

Sarge also reveals in the interview that he was in talks to appear in the second GI Joe movie. However, due to a conflict of interest involving merchandising, he was unable to do so.

The GI Joe commentart starts at the 9:54 mark!
