#3 Chainz and The 'Undertaker'

Turn your attention back to the 1990s - 1994 to be exact. The Undertaker, having been beaten from pillar to post at the Royal Rumble in a casket match against Yokozuna, vanishes. Rising, literally (sort of) into the heavens, he wasn't seen again for months.

Come the summer months, and Ted DiBiase began to tout the fact that he had been able to "make contact" with The Undertaker, and that The Phenom was once again under his tutelage. He appeared to make good on those claims, too, when "The Undertaker" reappeared and began taking apart the opposition just as he always had. 'Taker's former manager, Paul Bearer, along with many fans, felt differently, suggesting that something wasn't quite right about it at all. They turned out to be correct -- it wasn't The Undertaker at all! DiBiase, it later emerged, had secured the services of an imposter Undertaker - one that would soon be taken to task when Bearer brought the real Undertaker to SummerSlam in Chicago to put his impostor to rest, delivering three Tombstones and wiping him out of WWE forever.

That was the last we saw of the character who went on to become known by fans as The UnderFaker - but it was far fro the last we'd see of the man playing him. He would be thrust back into the WWE spotlight at the beginning of the most competitive and memorable period in the company's history, the Attitude Era. He wrestled again as Chainz, one of the members of the Disciples of Apocalypse, or DOA, a biker gang who feuded against the likes of The Truth Commission and the Nation of Domination. Chainz would remain with WWE until the summer of 1998 before being released and heading to WCW.
