The Undertaker's 10 Most Incredibly Cheesy WWE Moments
2. Underfaker And Leslie Nielsens Involvement
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2F9cVfDktCQ Its really a shame to include this moment in the list. Leslie Nielsen was an awesome actor who turned out to have a renaissance as a comic actor late in his career. His work in Airplane! and the Naked Gun trilogy were incredible, which is what makes this turn with WWE so disappointing. After the 1994 Royal Rumble, Undertaker would disappear from WWE for several months. Ted DiBiase would claim that he was bringing Taker back, and unveiled his Undertaker after WrestleMania X. Of course, he wasnt the real deal, and so WWE put Leslie Nielsen (or was it Detective Frank Drebin?) on the case to unravel the mystery of the Undertaker (or was it the Underfaker?). Nielsens Naked Gun 33-1/3 had hit theaters that spring, so the vignettes played off his famous role as the clueless Los Angeles police detective. The vignettes never really went anywhere, and while Undertaker was never directly involved in them, the segments were so corny that they rendered the angle absurd.
