10 Best "Whodunnit" Mysteries In Wrestling
10. The Stalker
In the spring of 2001, a series of uncomfortable videos began to play on WWE programming. The vignettes shown consisted of hidden camera footage of Undertaker’s then-wife Sara going about her day whilst being watched from afar by an obsessive stalker. Vince McMahon provided a pitched-down voice to hide the character’s identity, mocking Sara from afar at how she had no idea how unsafe she truly was.
The videos drove The Undertaker, who had turned from his spooky gravedigger persona to something much more human a year prior, to new levels of rage. When it finally came time for the Stalker to unmask himself, fans were shocked and dismayed to find that it was former WCW Champion Diamond Dallas Page.
The reveal confused and mortified many, as DDP had been a top babyface in WCW and was a happily married man. Still, Page made the most of the strange decision and the ongoing feud really pushed good taste, such as that time DDP created a shrine to Sara in the locker room.
Whilst Bruce Prichard, the writer who devised the concept, has gone on record to say that he felt it was a “flop”, there’s no denying that the WWE’s production team created something truly eerie and disconcerting to watch. It’s just a shame that perhaps they picked the wrong perpetrator.
