10 Times Imitation Was Not The Sincerest Form Of Flattery In Wrestling

1. 'Fake' Diesel & Razor Ramon

Jim Ross deserves immense credit for keeping a straight face as he introduced 'Razor Ramon' and 'Diesel' in September, 1996. "How could this be possible?", interested fans wondered, knowing that Scott Hall and Kevin Nash were now plying their trade in WCW. Were they really coming back home? No, no they weren't.

Hall and Nash were nowhere to be found when Rick Bognar and Glenn Jacobs ludicrously assumed their WWF gimmicks and copied their mannerisms. That's right; Kane once pretended to be Kevin Nash for money. Work that one out. The whole concept should have been scrapped before it even went from brain to mouth and was uttered in a WWF creative meeting.

Hilariously, Hall and Nash had already used rumours of a jump back to the WWF to get better contracts from WCW before 'Razor' and 'Diesel' showed up. Panicking that they were about to lose their new stars, the Atlanta group demanded the nWo stars sign iron-clad extensions. Meanwhile, Bognar and Jacobs were playing make-believe and fooling nobody on Raw.

What other bogus imitations can you think of that failed to flatter? Let us know your thoughts down in the comments section below!
