5 WWE Superstars you didn't know once competed under a mask

#4 Hulk Hogan

A lie detector 'proved' Mr America and Hulk Hogan weren't the same.

Even to non-wrestling fans, Hulk Hogan is pretty recognizable.

If the bright red and yellow colour scheme, matching feather boa and iconic bandana don't give it away, then there's always the Hulkster's iconic moustache.

But in 2003, the former WWF Champion attempted to fool everyone, when he donned the Mr America costume, to avoid being fired by Vince McMahon.

Trading in the red and yellow for the red white and blue, America was never afraid to stand up to McMahon's tyrannical rule over the show, even passing a lie detector test to prove that America and Hogan weren't the same.

Unfortunately, this all came crashing down (and it hurts inside!), when America/Hogan briefly unmasked for the fans after a taping, something McMahon caught on camera and took great delight in firing the Hulkster the next week.
