What did you think of this character? I have to say that it is funny in hindsight considering it was damn obvious that it was Hulk Hogan, with or without the mask. I also still laugh about the lie detector test and the part about how Mr. America was a "165-pound accountant who lived in Hoboken, NJ." Hogan really made that character work. Not that it's much of a surprise considering he oozed charisma.
What was your opinion of this character?

I remember marking out hearing Real American again and laughing myself silly when he walked on the ramp. "I'm not Hulk Hogan brother!!!"

The character, idea and much of the storyline was a lot of fun.
But I'm a fun hating smark so I spent most of the time wondering about WWE's hiring process, how did Mr America ever get employed?

This was the only time I've cheered for Hogan in his career. Wrestling needs to be sprinkled with these fun, silly storylines.

I thought it was funny myself, especially the episode with the lie detector and him passing it somehow,ha.
I did get to go Mr.America's last match at MSG in June of 2003 teaming with Brock and Kurt vs. Show/Shelton/Haas on Smackdown which was cool and during SD's prime years.

I started watching wrestling with Smackdown right in the middle of this storyline so I'm more than a bit nostalgic for it.

I will forever argue that the segment with Mr America (who is totally not Hulk Hogan) and Vince with the lie detector was a top ten moment in WWE History.

I'm sad they didn't deliever on the teased Mr. America & Stephanie romance cause if they did we could easily be seeing Hulk Hogan as Vince's successor.

Absolutely loved it. I also thought it was brilliant that with the mask you kinds forgot how old Hogan was.
Also, I rewatched the lie detector test not too long ago, and that has to be one of the few times I actually thought a WWE comedy segment was actually funny.

Vince: Anyone can lust after Torrie Wilson. Anyone can have a fantasy about Torrie Wilson. At least I don't fantasize about the Mae Young's of the world.
Lie detector *BUZZ*
It was a fun storyline and character.

I didn't hate it. Of course it was stupid, it was absolutely supposed to be.

I grew up on Stagger Lee and Midnight Rider so Mr. America was ok by me.

Love the obvious man under the mask storylines (as long as you don't get 3 going on at once.) What did you think of this character? I have to say that it is funny in hindsight considering it was damn obvious that it was Hulk HoganWOAH WOAH WOAH! HOLD UP! Hogan was not Mr. America. He said so himself. "I'm not Hulk Hogan brother!" Would Mr. America lie to his fans? BALLGAME MAGGLE! There was a picture of Mr. America takin the mask off and it was Hogan. So you are wrong, sir.

It got shit on, but I personally loved it. It was cheesy and corny, all the things that Hogan was about in the 80's.

didn't WWE Get in trouble with Marvel because Marvel felt the character was too similar to Captain America?

Stephanie bending over on a desk and then somehow trying to tie that into Mr. America's existence remains one of the oddest segue ways in TV history.

I grew up on Stagger Lee and Midnight Rider so Mr. America was ok by me. And Uvalde Slim, Yellow Dog, Dirty Yellow Dog, Sweet Brown Sugar, Lucifer, Giant Machine, the James Gang, Mr. R., Red River Jack.... didn't WWE Get in trouble with Marvel because Marvel felt the character was too similar to Captain America? Nope. Marvel wouldn't have had a leg to stand on either, even if they tried, especially after the Fighting American court decision a couple or three years before.
