#4 The Big Show and Andre the Giant
Andre the Giant was one of the most recognizable faces in the world back in the 80s. His sheer size made him a perfect fit to be a WWE Superstar. Years after Andre's unfortunate death in 1993, Paul Wight made his debut in WCW. The resemblance to Andre the Giant was so striking that WCW billed him as the son of Andre!
He soon jumped ship to WWE and became a mainstay in the promotion for years to come. The Big Show went on to win several championships, including two WWE title reigns. There seldom comes a Superstar who's 7-feet tall and has a larger-than-life presence. Andre and The Big Show shared this trait, hence leading to comparisons. Big Show's dramatic weight loss resulted in comparisons dying down to some extent.
Big Show even wore a similar outfit to Andre's which further fuelled rumors that his gimmick took after the former legend's.

#3 Randy Orton and Jake Roberts
Randy Orton donned the persona of The Legend Killer in his early run in WWE. Orton took down a string of legends, including Mick Foley and Shawn Michaels, to solidify the gimmick. By the time 2009 rolled around, Orton got a character change and became a cold, calculating psychopath, earning the nickname "The Viper". At this point, comparisons were inevitable with WWE legend Jake "The Snake" Roberts.
Roberts is known as one of the greatest talkers in the business. The intensity he used to show during his promos was matched by none. Despite delivering his promos in a low, calm tone, they were enough to send chills down fans' spines. Here are two promos by 'The Snake' and 'The Viper', to bring to light how similar they were.
Jake Roberts will unfortunately go down in WWE history as one of the greatest in-ring performers who failed to win a single title. But the fact that in an era where championship gold meant everything and proved legitimacy, Jake trancended this barrier and went on to become a WWE Hall of Famer in his own right.
