#2 The Renegade
This is where imitation cannot replace the real thing. It also led to the character’s death. Rick Wilson was portrayed as a knockoff to the Ultimate Warrior, a character Hulk Hogan had a hand in creating. He ran down to the ring in war paint, shook the ring ropes and looked like his predecessor’s twin.
He even beat Arn Anderson for the World TV Title. He lasted in the promotion for four years, working singles and tag team matches but was ineffective and did not gain the crowd support the company thought he would acquire. He was released from WCW soon after. He died in 1999 of depression from his time in the ring.
