While a seemingly random singer’s presence in these two games would be worthy of the number 1 spot on its own, digging a little deeper the story regarding Fred Durst’s place began to get even stranger.

When these games were released, Undertaker was portraying his American Badass persona, using Limp Bizkit's “Rollin” as his entrance theme, as it suited his character at the time. Allegedly singer Fred Durst was included as part of the deal to allow the WWF to use their song in the product. Yup, Durst would only let WWE use his song if he was given a place in the games.

To unlock him, you have to use Undertaker in the Slobberknocker game mode and defeat at least 15 enemies. What else was strange was how much effort was put into such a novelty character. He had his own custom entrance, which was modelled after the music video for Rollin, with Durst driving down to the ring in a car, performing his signature dance moves. He had a custom move set, and is instantly put into a tag team with Undertaker, with the entrance theme, surprisingly, being "Rollin'".

Fred hasn't written a bio just yet, but if they had... it would appear here. Maybe. It might be over there. We're not really sure.
