10 Most Patriotic American WWE Wrestlers Ever
2. Hacksaw Jim Duggan
Is there any other wrestler in WWF/E history who made an entire career out of simply waving the American flag (and another inanimate object, a 2x4) and chanting, USA! over and over? While Hacksaw Jim Duggans pre-WWF career was dynamic, he became a flag-waving character upon joining Vince McMahons company in 1987.
Duggan started out by interrupting Nikolai Volkoffs renditions of the Russian national anthem, which set the tone for his run with the WWF. Hacksaw would carry the Stars and Stripes to ringside and lead the crowd in USA! chants, making him the perfect foil for any foreign heel. In addition to Volkoff, Duggan battled the likes of Dino Bravo, Boris Zhukov and Yokozuna in his initial run in the company.
Even in the 2000s, Duggan could be counted on to make a surprise appearance in WWE to pop the crowd when a pro-America moment is needed. Thats a sign that youre widely regarded as a patriotic performer when your mere presence elicits a patriotic response from the audience.
