4. The Undertaker Is Kelsey Grammer

The striking resemblance shared by the Undertaker and Kelsey Grammer seems merely superficial...on the surface.

The Undertaker character was genuinely bone-chilling; creating lurching dread with his encroaching movement and inability to register pain, the Dead Man, with his body bag and casket gimmicks and drawn look, inspired fear in youngsters - and, later, an unparalleled level of respect, as his epic, record stint in WWE yielded countless classic wrestling matches. He continued to leave his audience awestruck - not through his aesthetic, but his super-powerful, high-flying artistry.

Kelsey Grammer, in contrast, played for several years the affected, pretentious Frasier Crane, who would doubtlessly look upon professional wrestling as a cultural disgrace.

But.

But.

'Taker also dealt with daddy issues, and experienced a mixed relationship with his brother. Niles Crane, while antithetical to Kane, was also a hot neurotic mess, who shared with Kane an unhealthy, obsessive approach to the fairer sex.

And, much as Frasier's intellect was a front, and he found himself in escalating, farcical situations, the Undertaker at Crown Jewel, pushed beyond his physical capacity, mirrored Grammer by losing a battle with his hair.
