5 WWE Superstars you forgot wrestled under a mask
The world of professional wrestling is over a century old and drenched in rich tradition and history.
And whilst the industry may have changed dramatically, going from a circus side-show to a popular form of mainstream entertainment, some things remain the same.
One constant in wrestling, is the idea of wrestling under a mask, with the history of Lucha Libre being one of the most respected parts of wrestling's past and present.
But even in WWE, there have been Superstars who competed under a mask, either to pay homage to those who have come before them, or for ulterior motives.
Here are five WWE Superstars who wrestled under a mask, and their reasons for donning it.
5: Hulk Hogan
One of the most iconic Superstars in WWE history, it's hard to imagine the instantly recognisable face of Hulk Hogan hidden behind a cloth.
But in 2003, the WWE did just that, after the Hulkster was fired by WWE head Vince McMahon, after defeating the Chairman at WrestleMania 19.
Returning weeks later as Mr. America, the mysterious star-spangled Superstar rejected claims he was Hogan, despite looking like Hogan, sounding like Hogan, using Hogan's moves and having Hogan's iconic moustache.
Whilst McMahon did try to fire Hogan again, a loophole that Mr. America had been signed by Stephanie McMahon only infuriated the Chairman of the board even more.
Eventually though, real-life issues did lead to Hogan/America getting fired for real, as the company and Hogan failed to agree on a figure.
After de-masking after SmackDown went off the air, the footage was used by McMahon to rid himself of the masked Hogan once and for all.
