We at Three Man Booth were sitting in the Booth, discussing who would be considered the WWE’s most American Patriotic Wrestler. Credit goes to @CharlesCress whose tweet about “Real American,” the greatest American Patriotic wrestling theme of all time, started this discussion.
#FunFact The average man temporarily gains 2.5 times normal human strength while listening to “Real American”.

We came up with a short list of Good and Bad Choices
Hulk Hogan:
In the 80’s, He was pretty much America.
Sgt. Slaughter:
He’s has a G.I. Joe Action Figure and a Wrestling Action Figure.
‘Hacksaw’ Jim Duggan:
His two favorite words are “USA!” and “Hoooooooooooo!”
Lex Luger:
“I’ll Be Your Hero,” the Theme for the Lex Express, killed the Cassingles Industry.
‘The Patriot’ Del Wilkes:
Almost made us defect to Canada because Bret was way better.
Mark Henry:
Captain of the 1996 US Olympic Weight Lifting Team.
Kurt Angle:
Winner of the 1996 Olympic Gold Medal for Wrestling … and his Entrance Music is the 2nd greatest American Patriotic wrestling theme of all time.
Mr. America:
He took the Patriot’s mask, added a Mustache, and made it better.
Jack Swagger … ‘s Swagger Soaring Eagle:
The only endangered species that takes bumps.
Derrick Bateman:
Chicks and America
Despite this list of potential Patriots, the most Patriotic Wrestler in the WWE is the Undertaker. Before he was the American Badass, he cut a promo for the 1993 Survivor Series proudly claiming and displaying his support for the Red, White and Blue:
We here at Three Man Booth wish everyone a Happy and Safe Fourth of July and also want to thank the Troops and Soldiers around the world for their continued protection.
