5 Greatest imposters in WWE history

DX imitating the Nation of Domination

Triple H, as we know now thanks to the advent of NXT, is a creative genius. Coupled with Shawn Michaels, the duo has been responsible for some of the most entertaining moments during the Attitude Era under the hell-raising banner of Degeneration X.

One such instance was the segment featuring the duo impersonating Vince and Shane McMahon, followed by a manure bath for the Chairman and his son. While one wondered what Vince wouldn’t put himself through for the sake of ratings, you couldn’t help but feel that this whole segment was slightly over-done.

However, the DX’s attempt to impersonate the Nation of Domination in 1998, was rather more tasteful. With each member of DX (except for Chyna) clowning their nation counterpart, the segment hit home with the desired effect and had the audience stitched up in laughter throughout. It was a pity this segment played out during Michael’s first hiatus from active wrestling, but it certainly delivered nonetheless.

Rock-dust!

Any fan would tell you that Goldust has got to be the sleaziest Superstar in WWE history. His cross-dressing antics often bordered on the bizarre at best, and flirted overtly with sexual taboo at worst. Goldust - love him, hate him or ignore him, is certainly a one-of-a-kind Superstar.

Credit to him though, he has also been responsible for some truly humorous moments through the course of his career. One such instance transpired backstage at the 2002 King of the Ring tournament where Goldust clad as the Rock, tried to reel off a couple of the Rock’s catchphrases to the 5-time WCW champion Booker T, only to be caught in the act by The Great One.

What follows is a segment laced with rib-tickling put-downs by the Rock, and if that wouldn’t suffice, a reproached Goldust tries his hand at mimicking Booker T’s catchphrase, only to be snubbed by him as well. While The Rock undoubtedly added a dash of stardust to proceedings, it was Goldust’s portrayal as the Rock around which this segment was construed, and shall be remembered as such.
