10 Most Patriotic American WWE Stars Ever

9. The US Express

WWE.comWWE.comThe US Express was a short lived tag team in the mid-1980s made up of Mike Rotundo and Barry Windham. They were actually brother-in-law's in real life. The duo won their first tag team titles in January 1985 and then went on to lose them to the Iron Sheik and Nokolai Volkoff at WrestleMania 1. Those two teams had a long feud since the heels weren't shy about bashing America, so it made a lot of sense to match these teams up. The US Express went on to win the tag titles from them for their second reign. Just as it looked like the team would take off, Windham left WWE and they only lasted about a year together. It should also be noted they had some very famous theme songs including "Born in the USA" by Bruce Springsteen. Later on, the team used the "Real American" until Windham left WWE and they ended up giving the song to Hulk Hogan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJ0wRbfJcAs Rotunda was later known in WWE as Irwin R. Schyster and his biggest contribution to wrestling today is that he's the father of Bray Wyatt as well as Bo Dallas.
