5 most beloved WWE Superstars in India

#1 The Undertaker

The Phenom deservedly tops this list

Alright, for those unaware or just in case you missed the video posted above, ‘Fake Undertaker’ aka Brian Lee—a man who portrayed the Imposter Undertaker in the old WWF, also acted as the Phenom in the Bollywood movie ‘Khiladiyon Ke Khiladi’. The 1996 film was declared a super-hit and Undertaker became perhaps the most famous WWE wrestler in India.

However, till date, most Indian fans are unaware of the fact that it was Lee (Imposter Undertaker) and not Mark Calaway (the real ‘Taker) who acted in the aforementioned movie. Nevertheless, the Undertaker broke through in the mainstream Indian media after the movie, which also featured the real ‘Crush’.

Furthermore, one ought to note that the Undertaker’s Deadman gimmick is a bigger hit among the Indian fans rather than his American Badass (ABA) biker persona. Regardless, despite the Undertaker’s injuries adversely affecting his in-ring performances in recent times, his Indian fans extend their undying support to the demon from Death Valley.

It seems rather fitting that the beautiful, mysterious and oft puzzling nation of India stands loyally behind perhaps the most mystical WWE Superstar—The Undertaker.
