In 2003, Hulk Hogan portrayed the Mr. America character on WWE SmackDown following his victory over Vince McMahon in a Street Fight at WrestleMania XIX.

The storyline led to an Arm Wrestling contest on an episode of SmackDown, with the stipulation stating that Mr. America had to leave the premises if he lost.

McMahon’s assistant, Sable, accused Mr. America of cheating when both competitors used their left arms, so they had a rematch with their right arms. Once again, Sable caused a distraction, this time by flashing Mr. America, and McMahon was able to pick up a surprising victory.

Moments later, McMahon won another Arm Wrestling match against one-legged wrestler Zach Gowen after the referee failed to spot that the WWE Chairman kicked the rookie’s leg under the table.

Winner: Vince McMahon

The 2001 Invasion pay-per-view featured matches between WWE and WCW stars, including Lita & Trish Stratus vs. Stacy Keibler & Torrie Wilson and WWE referee Earl Hebner vs. WCW referee Nick Patrick.

Shortly before the event, Wilson and Stratus went one-on-one in an Arm Wrestling match on WWE SmackDown. Of course, with both referees also present, this was destined to end in controversial circumstances.

It looked as though Stratus would pick up the victory before Patrick hit Hebner with a cheap shot, allowing Keibler to help Wilson win the contest.

Winner: Torrie Wilson
