After their war at WrestleMania XIX, Mr. McMahon sent Hulk Hogan home to sit out the rest of his contract. Not long after, Smackdown! General Manager Stephanie McMahon hired Mr. America, sight unseen, and welcomed him to the roster.

And so, Hogan donned the most paper-thin disguise since Jimmy Valiant became Charlie Brown from Outta Town, decking himself out in the colors of the Stars and Stripes as Mr. America.
