10 Most Repeated WWE Storylines

It's a story as old as time. An anti-American villain with a valid passport arrives on US shores. They manage to cross the border despite numerous red flags. Customs and immigration, do your bloody job!

Our heel's objective is simple: teach those allegedly lazy, slack-jawed Americans a lesson at their very own game. The pro wrestling game - because that makes sense.

And what could possibly be more humiliating than an American losing a wrestling match to a foreign foe? Exploiting the audience's latent xenophobia aside, the only problem is it never works.

Despite the heel's best efforts, America's indomitable spirit always prevails, leaving our villain soundly defeated. USA! USA! Next time save yourself the trip and stay home, pal.

That's right, WWE loves pitting a patriotic babyface against the latest heel determined to tread all over the American flag. Hulk Hogan's legendary battles with the Iron Sheik and Sgt. Slaughter allowed WWE a chance to turn the screws on whatever country happened to find itself on the wrong side of American foreign policy. In this case, Iran and Iraq.

Hulkamania's just the tip of the iceberg. From "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan and Lex Luger to Kurt Angle and John Cena, WWE repeatedly associates some of the company's biggest babyfaces with the Stars and Stripes. They defend the flag so the WWE Universe doesn't have to. God bless!
