Guest MarvinisaLunatic Report post Posted April 17, 2003 After watching the promos, its impossible to tell, other than they show a lot of military footage. Military footage to me = Sgt. Slaughter, but I seriously doubt that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rising up out of the back seat-nuh 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2003 Military = Face. Despite the fact that major military action is over for the time being. And that pro-american faces are heels everywhere outside the states (and very fucking annoying) If done right, it could give a nice face push to a new or deserving wrestler. My vote, however, is for Hogan, Luger or Duggan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well I'd assume the WWE would be smart enough to have Hogan wear a full-body costume and not do his leg drop finisher but maybe I'd be giving WWE too much credit. Maybe the'll end the piledriver ban for Hogan only and call it the AmercianDriver or OldManDriver '03. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Nanks Report post Posted April 18, 2003 They couldn't seriously have it as Hogan could they?? I would seriously just have to laugh. It would be the funniest gimmick in years. Luger, however, would not be a laughing matter. People would die for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Tino Standard Report post Posted April 18, 2003 Yeah, if it's Hogan, I don't exactly see this as being played as a serious angle like the Black Scorpion or whatever. Then again, with the way things are going, NOTHING is too dumb for this company. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest AndrewTS Report post Posted April 18, 2003 Bwahahah! I was the first to seriously consider it was Hogan. It actually makes sense--except for the part about expecting us not to know it's Hogan. He's got a pretty distinctive body type/wrestling style. This could be quite funny, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MentallyNormal Report post Posted April 18, 2003 Randy Savage? Sting? The Yeti? Maybe it's a wrestler that is shaped like America? Bastion Booger? The Goon? Maybe a team of Booger,Goon and The repo man? Their manager the American Dream. Thus we have Team America. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest notJames Report post Posted April 18, 2003 You guys are trying too hard. Or not trying hard enough. Fact: Hogan has been sent home by Vince. Fact: Vince still thinks Hogan is a draw. Fact: Vince is insane. Fact: There is a war going on, although techinically it's not a war. Fact: Vince is not above using the "war" for storyline purposes, no matter how misguided. Conclusion: This has "ghey" written all over it. In other words: Hogan. I guess Smackdown! just got a lethal injection of Raw-tism. (sigh) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Downhome Report post Posted April 18, 2003 When I saw this promo tonight, I INSTANTLY thought of Hulk Hogan. He's been sent home, thus this is his way to get back into WWE. I wish they would build up "Mr. America" as this young blue chipper trying to rise to the top. I hope they say over and over that their papers and the such say that he's like, 25 or so and I hope they always mention it. I would find that funny as hell. Hogan will obviously be under a mask, and to top it off he'll come out to Real American. I also hope the annoucers act like they have NO idea who it is, this could be comedy gold.

Guest Jobber of the Week Report post Posted April 18, 2003 Jimmy Hart. Okay. No really, the way that Cole & Tazz went on about Mr America representing everybody blah blah blah, he immediately reminded me of The Patriot. Too bad FIH beat me to that one. Either way, I assume it's to give heat to Team Angle while Kurt's away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Lightning Flik Report post Posted April 18, 2003 Whoever this Mr. America is, and yes I'm skipping the fact that Meltzer said it is Hogan ala Midnight Rider style, they'll sooner or later have to face off against Kurt Angle. Why? Because Kurt Angle will claim that he is the inbodyment of America and not whoever Mr. America is. Which possibly means that Lensar's upcoming opponent at SS is possibly Benoit, but I digress, this is only my speculation. So, with this in mind. Since Angle will have to face of against Mr. America I seriously hope it's somebody new as they'll have to cut some promos against Angle. And frankly if Mr. America turns out to be any of the old glory stars (specifically Hogan), the audience might get tipped off quite easily. Hm... Touch and go angle, but meh. I'll give it a chance.

Guest El Satanico Report post Posted April 18, 2003 It'll be Ed Leslie and he will wrestle Vince. If Mr. America wins Vince is forced to rehire the american hero Hulk Hogan, if Vince win Mr. America will join the other american reject Hulk Hogan. He'll win and the next show he'll unmask and embrace Hogan. Then Hogan will once again do the oh so funny joke of "Remember when you were my Barber". And everyone at home and in attendence will chuckle together...then throw things. I hope it's just for some retarded skit involving the Sarge. It would be stupid, but at least it will save us from something worse that will last alot longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
