5 stupidest mistakes made by Hulk Hogan

#4 The Mr America gimmick

Marvel Comics called...and they’re not happy at all.

In 2003, Hulk Hogan’s creative direction took a drastic turn, when he started appearing as a masked character named ‘Mr America’. It was obvious to absolutely everyone that Mr America was Hulk Hogan in disguise, and WWE didn’t even try to conceal this fact. Mr America used Hogan’s trademark entrance music and catchphrases and even feuded with Hogan’s old rival, ‘Rowdy’ Roddy Piper.

The entire storyline surrounding Mr America wasted valuable time on SmackDown, as nobody wanted to see Hogan in a mask, much less one that looked like the most blatant Captain America rip-off imaginable.

It was bad enough that this storyline was even allowed to be shown on TV for several months; it was worse that one of the feud’s unintended victims was none other than Sean O’Haire, whose own character took a backseat to the 2000s version of Hogan-Piper.
