WWE is not merely wrestling but also entertainment, and in an attempt to provide its fans some quality moments on TV, the wrestlers go beyond their character to create something worthwhile. The Attitude Era is fondly remembered for those times where wrestlers went out of their way to create enjoyable and memorable moments.

Sometimes they could be scandalous, and other times, just silly things that would make fans laugh. While these gags would often be directed towards a specific individual or a group of people, they were guaranteed to bring some delightful moments for the fans that many cherish to this very day.

It could be a simple moment like Triple H trying to help Trish Stratus or Vince McMahon trying to hire Stacy Keibler to the company or funny as DX taking control of WWE's production truck. These moments made fans laugh, and told us that the who's who of the company can be made fun of to create something that will create a moment for the WWE Universe.

Here are 3 moments when WWE Superstars decided to cross the line and impersonate other Superstars, and welcome your thoughts in the comments section.

So without further ado, let's get down to it:


#1 The Undertaker impersonates Kane

The year was 1998, and Kane had aligned with Paul Bearer. He was scheduled to take on Mankind in a number one contender's match on 6th July 1998 episode of RAW is WAR. Stone Cold Steve Austin was the WWF Champion at that time, but instead of The Big Red Monster, The Phenom decided to show up dressed as his brother.

It was an impersonation that took the WWE Universe by surprise because no one expected it, but everyone was aware of the bad blood between Kane and The Undertaker which was caused by Paul Bearer. He used to be the manager for The Deadman but had turned into an anti character for the legendary wrestler. This is definitely a storyline worth re-visiting.

#2 Kane impersonates The Undertaker and fights Stone Cold Steve Austin

The Undertaker had impersonated Kane in July, and a month and 11 days later, it was The Big Red Monster's turn to turn the tables. The Phenom had won the match against Mankind and was scheduled to fight Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Kane entered the ring dressed in The Deadman's gear and theme song, while his face was towards the entrance ramp. The champion entered the ring and was in no mood to talk with his opponent, but little did he know that Kane would have his ring pyro and later take the fight to the fans.

The two exchanged blows where Stone Cold took The Big Red Monster to his limits and loaded him in the back of a vehicle that was parked beside the entrance ramp. When the Texas Rattlesnake decided to drive The Big Red Monster away, he was taken by surprise when The Phenom was behind the wheel.

This left the fans and the Texas Rattlesnake in a state of disbelief, but it was sheer entertainment for the WWE Universe.

#3 DX Impersonates The McMahons

The year was 2006, and WWE's most controversial group DX was formed again with Shawn Michaels and Triple H. The content wasn't edgier as their previous time, but it was still a time when the fans would get to witness something that was non-PG.

Triple H and Shawn Michaels had worked through Vince's microphone the week before, and the following week they decided to impersonate the owner of the WWE and his son with their roast. The Cerebral Assassin decided to talk about the previous week's promo while Shawn Michaels decided to talk about Shawn's dancing habit. It left the fans laughing and gave the WWE Universe a moment to cherish for a lifetime.

It is by far the funniest segment where wrestlers have impersonated someone and is still fresh. DX was regarded for its ability to create something funny for the fans, and this is at the top of anyone's funniest moments through the non-PG era.
