5 WWE legends who once had terrible gimmicks 

#1.Hulk Hogan: Mr. America

Who could this masked symbol of the red, white and blue possibly be?

Now, all these terrible characters have come early into a Superstar's career, this one not only happened to one of the biggest icons in the business, but also came at a time when Hogan's career had more than flourished.

After being fired by Vince McMahon following their WrestleMania XIX encounter, Hogan returned to SmackDown, now in a mask as Mr. America.

Using the same mannerisms, music and offense, it was obvious that Hogan and America were the same, and whilst McMahon's attempts to prove it were initially entertaining, the story got old fast.

This gimmick only lasted mere months, as Hogan was filmed unmasking after a SmackDown, allowing Vince to fire him again, allowing the Hulkster to leave the company.

Whilst Hogan is now back with the company, don't expect Mr. America to return anytime soon.
