10 Times Wrestlers Fooled You Into Thinking They Were Someone Else

10. The Undertaker As Kane

When The Undertaker was scheduled to face Kane and Mankind on the July 6th, 1998, episode of Raw, fans were surprised when The Undertaker failed to make an appearance, despite his music being played.

With his opponents waiting in the ring and a shot at Steve Austin's WWF Title on the line, it seemed strange that ‘Taker would forfeit such an opportuntity. Nevertheless, with no Undertaker in sight, Vince McMahon ordered the two participants present to go at it, changing the Triple Threat to a singles match between Mankind and Kane.

As recurring tag partners at the time, Mankind was reluctant to oblige; however, Kane clearly had no problem laying into his supposed friend. When his guard was down, "The Big Red Machine" viciously teed off on Mankind with a steel chair.

Moments later, Kane rolled his opponent in the ring and covered him for the three count, as a stunned crowd looked on. When the referee called for the bell, the monstrous victor removed his mask to reveal that "Kane" had, in fact, been The Undertaker all along and The Phenom was now the number one contender to Austin’s title.

Undertaker would pull a similar stunt less than one year later, during his feud with Mr McMahon. On the eve of WrestleMania XV, 'Taker - as Kane - would beat up Triple H, before momentarily confronting the WWF Chairman and disappearing into the darkness.
