THE PATRIOT! The first CAW I ever created (WWF War Zone for the PS1) was based off him. Yea I remember his mask being in there, every created guy i made i gave that mask to almost (keep in mind i was only in like 7th grade) Of course my War Zone version of Patriot did the Rock Bottom as a finisher.....because that was the only button combo I could remember.

I was a HUGE fan of the Patriot from the GWF, and when he came into the WWF and immediately feuded with Bret Hart... man, I marked out.

I saw the Patriot wrestle back in May in a independent promotion. I wonder if it's the same guy?

I liked the guy and the gimmick.
I think they could essentially rehash Angle's original gimmick today as a new "Patriot" (a supposed hero who is actually heelish and obnoxious) and it would work.

It's too bad he didn't have a Missile Dropkick, then he could it "The Patriot Missile". I wonder if the Simpsons writers ever watched wrestling, they actually had a character called Uncle Slam appear in one of the episodes. Didn't he face the Iron Yuppie?

Won't be the same guy, he's currently a car salesman.
The patriot was good, just a shame the whole point of his gimmick was to job to hart.

I always have preferred the Patriot in the GWF than I did in WWE.

The Patriot actually pinned Bret once didn't he? I don't remember if it was clean or not.

Del Wilkes does still do appearances as the Patriot but doesnt wrestle. I remember Heenan always swearing he was Al Gore under the mask. LOL

Bret Hart was pinning The Patriot but Shawn Michaels slid into the ring and pulled Bret off. Bret turned his attention to Shawn which allowed The Patriot to roll Bret up for the pin.

If the gimmick was used today, whenever the Patriot travelled abroad, he should actively seek boos from the crowd by insulting their nation and comparing it unfavourably to the United States.

There should be a patriotic wrestler who's nationality changes with each country he visits.

Yes he did and it was called "The Patriot Missle". GWF is where it was at.
