5 most memorable imposters in WWE history

The fake Undertaker is one of the most famous wrestling imposters of all time.

1: Fake Undertaker

The real Undertaker took on his imposter at SummerSlam ‘94.

The Undertaker took a break from wrestling after losing a casket match to Yokozuna at the 1994 Royal Rumble in order to heal his recurring back injury. In his absence, WWE kept The Undertaker in the minds of fans with a series of vignettes of people claiming to have seen the 'Deadman'. Following Wrestlemania X, Ted DiBiasie brought back a Undertaker to WWE programming but Paul Bearer later appeared and claimed the DiBiasie's Undertaker was an imposter.

This led to the return of the real Undertaker at SummerSlam '94 where the two Undertaker's battled each other before the imposter was vanquished after three Tombstone Piledrivers. The imposter was put in a casket and thankfully dispatched from future storylines.

The fake Undertaker was played by a wrestler by the name of Brian Lee who had previously appeared in WWE as a wrestler called Chainz. He pulled off the mannerisms of 'Taker well but he wasn't very good in the ring. Originally, there was supposed to be a series of matches between the real Undertaker and the imposter but the storyline was thankfully shelved after SummerSlam '94.
