10 Wrestlers Who Came Back From The Dead

9. Diesel

It's still one of the most bone-chilling sights many youngsters were exposed to during the mid-90's. In the build up to the match between The Undertaker and Diesel at WrestleMania XII, the latter witnessed the strange sight of seeing himself laying in a coffin. Having been interrupted during mid-match by Undertaker's manager Paul Bearer, Diesel was faced with a casket the portly pallbearer. The intimation was that The Undertaker would be inside, ready to hammer his opponent once he lifted the lid, but it was actually a pretty darn realistic-looking dummy of Kevin Nash himself staring back at him once he flipped the top of the coffin open.Ok, so this is technically bending the rules a little for this list, but it's such an eery moment that it deserves to be mentioned. A few years later, this kind of brain-bending stuff would become almost normal for Undertaker, but in 1996, it was pretty mind-blowing. Ironically, it was around this time that 'Taker would also start rejigging his in-ring work, becoming a faster, more dynamic wrestler.
