Top 10 Imposter Wrestlers! - OSW Review

[@jakearmstrong6993]

Sting disguised as Sting is the greatest reveal in the history of everything.

[@enigmaskull3495]

[@cjvaye99]

I liked the one in WCW better, it's one of my favorite wrestling GIF's

[@countchunkula_4077]

15:01 I love how they used Kanes unused Type O Negative theme.

[@jayyce1]

I thought Koko 'proving' Owen wasn't the Blazer was hilarious.

[@lewjones3]

it's funny to see Diesel come out with the signature Kane walk

[@ThahitmanTyrie]

Yes lol and his run

[@lewjones3]

Renell clark 😂

[@MoonlightStrider]

I just love the revelation that Tri had to do a pratfall in front of Heath Slater of all people.

[@BrotherBoresIsBest]

Fake Razor looks like a bloated X-Pac

[@tobznoobs]

brucie bonus points for being related to the kliq

[@xivwords5448]

It's Kane

[@HornyStewie_69]

He ate Xpac

[@ucnpgrim7208]

Kane

[@jehushdomino795]

Lol😂😂😂

[@Mget41]

Looking back, Who knew the fake Willow thing would lead to one of the best things to happen in wrestling in 2016.

[@OikPoinFive]

Ethan Allen jeff hardy willow so copied scary sherri from summerslam 199o.

[@scotttruman4411]

Broken Matt sucks

[@JustinLeeper]

Speaking of Doink and imposters, when I was working the independents in the midwest of USA back in 2000-2004, there were a dozen dudes billing themselves as Doink. And about as many billing themselves as The Patriot. As you can imagine, most of them didn't look the part save for the makeup/mask.

[@MatataMcCleskey]

Fake Razor Ramone, imatating a Razor Ramone imitating Tony Montana

[@KTF0]

Fake Diesel became Kane who later fought Fake Kane.

[@parthkashyap7502]

hahaha

[@OikPoinFive]

Statutory Grape whose half brother taker fought fake taker. My he-man toy fought faker (fake he-man)

[@JohnSmith-ns4ip]

Wrestleception.

[@Xehanort10]

And Fake Kane later became Festus and Luke Gallows.

[@jonstefanik9400]

and his phony half-brother The Undertaker fought The Underfaker.

[@patrickfitzpatrick1458]

I legitimately think fake Sting was a great idea for the nWo

[@martyc909]

I agree, nWo Sting was huge in the story of how Sting became dark.

[@Djarra]

Plus it let them get points off WWF with Nash saying to Sting "We know what it's like to be poorly imitated, but that is why we knew it would get your attention"

[@OikPoinFive]

Pat Borina agree

[@OikPoinFive]

Djarra true. I remember nash saying that!

[@JustinEvitable80]

I agree. Bogus Sting was a genius idea.

[@erisi236]

evil Doink is still one of the best themes they ever made

[@HopeAuq]

Agreed

[@CHECKthisvid]

5:42 RIP Saturday Morning Slam. And Vortexx. And Saturday Morning Cartoons on Network TV in general.

[@Gotham1230]

I remember hearing Glenn Jacobs was considering retiring in 2006, so in storyline, it would be revealed that the unmasked Kane is actually the "phony", and the imposter randomly showing up were to be the real Kane coming back to claim what was his, lol.

[@happyChappy96621]

That was true:)

[@graffProdigy]

He probly couldn't take one more day of being in that hot azz mask!? 😂

[@MrPerfect2000Z]

And he's still wrestling 11 years later lol

[@MrPerfect2000Z]

Adorable

[@RabidDogma]

I still wish that they'd used the Type O Negative theme for Kane. Such an amazing fucking theme.

[@thekidfromiowa]

At least it made sense to use someone who had history with Owen to play the faux Blazer.

[@OSW]

HAPPY MAY 19TH! May you all be greeted by imposters in massive wigs.

[@TheQueenSpider]

How about that time Mr Fuji put on a mask, acted like Hulk Hogan and called himself Mr America?

[@ads2686]

TheQueenSpider haha fucking hell I'm gonna have to find that

[@King689]

One of the best swerves I've seen in wrestling was in WCW in 97 when La Parka upset Macho Man Randy Savage only to take of the mask and reveal it was Diamond Dallas Page.

[@TheEman590]

That was awesome. That feud between Savage and DDP was one of the best.

[@ajk]

Dean Malenko doing similar to Chris Jericho as Cyclope as I recall at Slamboree 1998, winning the Cruiserweight Battle Royal to get a title match against him, was awesome too.

[@flintironstag2381]

You guys forgot a fake sting-Barry Windham. Sid pinned fake sting to win the world title until the real sting showed up.

[@SlasherLink119]

Is that Willow angle what eventually transitioned into the Broken angle?...

[@DeathSongoftheThreeStorms]

Yip

[@nagilumsnangilima]

No one remembers Barry Windham dressed up as Sting, who then laid down for Sid Vicious at Halloween Havoc '90.

[@tbb033]

Barry Windham was a fake Sting before being a fake Sting was cool.

[@TheEman590]

Oh yeah, Halloween Havoc 1990, Sid vs Sting.

[@blackenedwritings]

I want a Sin Cara/ Sabu 3 Stages of Hell Match for the Botched Championship.

[@nwo2cool]

What about Gillberg?

[@PBL187]

Gillberg was more of a parody than an imposter. Goldberg was in WCW and Gillberg was in WWF(E)

[@seanmcclure]

“ culmination of the doink, crush feud“. That’s the most new generation thing of any new generation thing I’ve ever heard.

[@coebro1]

What’s with the dislikes on this video? This videos hilarious!

[@A.o.D]

Jeff farmer should get a check for being on that WWE DVD!

[@paulwilson2677]

Barry windham as surfer sting at Halloween havoc 1990 is an absolute doozy

[@shannoncallaghan1326]

Paul Wilson yeah Barry Windham had me fooled as a 13 year old. I almost cried when I thought sid vicious pinned sting. luckily sting came out of the dressing room to beat sid. great times. should have been mentioned. astute reminder.

[@JackOSUrulz]

Barry Windham...the name itself evokes 80s images, old style Pepsi cans, gold door knobs, spaghetti dinners, big Chevy trucks, rolled up short sleeve shirts, dorito farts, Steven Segal movies, and army surplus Chinese ninja stars.

[@nikketasnowden]

I still love taker vs taker and I seen it YEARS after it happened for the first time.

[@PBL187]

The (real) Undertaker's entrance was one of the best I've ever seen (closely followed by his return as the Deadman after the ABA gimmick to confront Kane)

[@nikketasnowden]

PBL187 yeah I agree. I think my personal favorite though was the in your house bad blood 1997. the very first he'll in a cell. if you can check it out. when he does his thing at the turnbuckle not only does he thrust his hands up instead of slowly raising thwm, but that loud sound when the lights come on and the music goes so well with it all. it was amazing.

[@FishDS9]

Fake Kane with the poofy hair reminded me of Gorgeous Jimmy Garvin.

[@FretzlemaniaPod]

Honorable Mentions: 1. WCW's ripoffs: Oaklahoma, Perfect Event Shawn Stasiak, Complete Package Chuck Palumbo, etc 2. No Bluedust? 3. Or When smackbag "Artist Formerly Known as" Goldust was...like everything in 1998? 4. Little Naitch Charles Robinson 5. Los Conquistadors (70's tag and E&C. Daniels dressed up as them for the fed too)

[@OSW]

Most are parodies rather than imposters but it's a sweet list! Conquistadors are a great shout. A killers row of gimmicks

[@edyhdrawde]

What about the greatest imposter ref? Earl Hepner.

[@AcidGlow]

*I remember playing on a Virtual Boy.. LOL! ✅🙂*

[@gmoss316]

Impostor Mankind from Smackdown in 2000, which Catus Jack debuts before Rumble 2000

[@OSW]

+gmoss316 was this Naked Mideon? *shudder* 😂

[@JoeChillton]

Yep, Dennis Knight.

[@ptw315]

@@OSW I was hoping he'd be on the list.

[@SegaCDUniverse]

Great video guys! Brother Nero!

[@LokiWolfe1985]

"... as was JR's heel turn, which was dropped very quickly..." So quickly I thought, "JR had a heel turn??"

[@cjvaye99]

He had two attempted heel turns. The one in 96 then a few years later when he kicked Michael Cole in the balls.

[@primusvsunicron1]

What about Billionaire Ted's Wrasslin' War Room?

[@martyc909]

I thought that was going to be #1

[@jayt4533]

scheme gene

[@ArronSorrell83]

The Huckster, the Nacho Man and Scheme Gene weren't imposters. They were parodies of Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage and Gene Okerlund. That's not the same thing as an imposter.

[@ArronSorrell83]

@DICK LONG The Huckster, the Nacho Man and Scheme Gene weren't imposters. They were parodies of Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage and Gene Okerlund. That's not the same thing as an imposter.

[@slayer91340]

Honorable mention. Since it lasted 5 minutes. Will sasso / stone cold.

[@grimm_destroyer5566]

Robert Contreras lol he was imitating stone cold lol

[@MatthewOwen1977]

At the time of the 2 takers, Glenn was “Isaac Yankem”

[@Nightpagan33]

15:00 Type O Negative! Why was this theme never used?!

[@logancampos2436]

Ok was that a song from type o??

[@angier4748]

Jeff Farmer was a star afterall, yep

[@WatchJoystickPlays]

Last night on the network I saw fake blue blazer and it was Steve Blackman . He looked awesome and probably would have saved his career

[@Predreus]

You should of included the time that Undertaker attacked Triple H as Kane to get to Vince

[@jtizzle124]

Harrison Highsmith That was never Triple H's gimmick though

[@JeffreyJetsKohut]

Your laughing banter is the reason why I love your videos!

[@richbaker8211]

Watching in 2020, here's the "Remember when Kane used to wrestle with a red light? It was like a fucking Virtual Boy....." The Fiend, oh The Fiend!

[@christopherwall2121]

To be fair, they cut that out as soon as Kane or Sin Cara did.

[@oliverosullivan8497]

better then what culture's video

[@Curlymustacheftw]

Can we get a Brucie Bonus review of "The Final Deletion"? Oh and does this make Matt Hardy king of the boys for life?

[@Kanefan701]

how did you get those cool music themes from?

[@tbb033]

"razor and diesel" went down for a few months to the USWA eventually feuding with each other before becoming "The Free Spirit Ric Titan" and "Doomsday"

[@rudys.4380]

What about fake La Parka that turned out to be Diamond Dallas Page, hitting Randy Savage with a Diamond Cutter?

[@xCRO3x]

That was one hell of a WCW moment

[@OikPoinFive]

REPVILE sadly macho is burning in hell forever. Randy had lots of unSaved sins. Bible real. I loved Macho as wrestler from 1989 to 1997. but he was lost.

[@kurtpaulsen6579]

Or Ciclope winning the cruiserweight battle royal and unmasking to reveal Malenko?

[@andrewblanchard2537]

the kane intro music in wwe & smacdown vs raw games was called slow chemical it was on the punisher 2004 movie soundtrack ( jim johnston does various music for tv shows & movies)

[@davejohnston5479]

Great video. The commentary made me laugh the whole way through.

[@AnArchyRulzz]

That line about Virtual Boy made me lawl so hard

[@bsslayer4771]

That shit had me 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂

[@jamesha175]

did Doink just clobber that guy with a pillow? @1:04

[@gatchywatchyentertainmentb2090]

jamesha175 No it was prosthetic arm

[@dennismorneau9016]

“Big Daddy Cool…is doing alright, Chico. But I think I’m going to take a closer look.”

[@mmafan8407]

While fake Razor Ramon faded into oblivion, fake Diesel became a bigger star than Diesel ever was

[@blackenedwritings]

How was the Willow character introduced in TNA (didn't watch at that time)? Did they treat him like a new wrestler? Or was it more like Mr.America when they basically told us it was Hogan although they never stated it directly?

[@333jetpack]

little bit of both if I remember

[@phayknaim2711]

Here from the WhatCulture channel, and your video is better. Subbed.

[@samuraizlr38]

What's the song at 15:00 during imposter kanes intro

[@TheLiquidFilth]

I think it's Type O Negative - Out of Fire. IIRC it was an unused version of Kane's theme.

[@iaincowell9747]

Yeah it is.

[@JeffreyJetsKohut]

There should be a drinking game where you take a drink each time you guys laugh!

[@outlawgt3045]

Imposter Sting came to our middle school. It was near the end of the school year and we were having games outside.. Next thing we knew Imposter Sting was on the roof of our school.. He ran off and we never saw him again

[@dangrahamdrums]

"Remember when Kane used to wrestle with the red light?", Oh how you didn't know what was coming.

[@richardcrook6672]

watched this so many times and still laugh so loud this video cheers me up on crap days thanks guys you do amazing

[@bedtimemma]

Holy shit I'm 2 years late but what is that fucking song from the intro to the retrospective on Fake Kane??? It's so awesome that I'm going crazy unable to find it. I must have it.

[@-The-Darkside]

DAVID type o negative unreleased kane theme

[@JoeCnNd]

17:34 I'm glad they could get the guy from Wayne's world who Garth stun guns.

[@docbloom247]

Barry Wyndham dressed up as Sting to.

[@stuartmaxwell6898]

6 employees from what culture disliked this video

[@antalpapp6467]

aaand 5 employees left

[@antalpapp6467]

also 270 dislikes came

[@tbb033]

What? (culture)

[@adzgg1346]

What's the song playing at 15:00?

[@WormyJester8]

Type O Negative - Out of the Fire

[@nascar138]

7:20 That Virtual boy joke cracked me up.

[@darinrampageadams8052]

I love you guys commentary lol!

[@johnhoward8234]

Hunico is still Sin Cara right?

[@HopeAuq]

Yup

[@erichurd7605]

Brian Lee also literally played the Undertaker in some action movie from India. You can find clips on KZbin.

[@jseeker1867]

No love for the fake Edges at Armageddon 07? Drat.

[@TheGodOfGravy]

Or every time Taker did a mannequin of his opponent in a casket

[@robertjamesplays9721]

Zach Ryder and the guy that is now fan...dan...go

[@jipsumies3435]

Robert James plays that's curt hawkings

[@jipsumies3435]

Robert James plays not fandango

[@PBL187]

They weren't fake Edges though, they were just Edge wannabes (in storyline), or Edge fanboys, that dressed like him. They were called the Edgeheads

[@ICEGOD2]

Would you guys ever review a TNA PPV or is their shit so bad now it isn't worth the trouble? Also, what BAR is Dixie Carter?

[@MrPerfect2000Z]

What's the song used at the beginning of the Underfaker part?

[@OSW]

RAZZOR & DIESELL! Are there any other imposters that should've made the list? Part of our WCW FALL BRAWL '95 EPISODE: oswreview.com/media/oswreview57/ :D

[@RMGLUCK]

The fake Abyss used during the Joseph Park angle. Who was that masked man?

[@briandewolf889]

Awesome fact: after WCW saw JR announce the return of Diesel and Razor Ramon, they did not believe Hall and Nash when they denied they were going back and practically forced them to sign substantially bigger contracts. They were all watching Raw together when Fake Razor debuted. Hall and Nash just chuckled and shrugged their shoulders, with their signatures set in stone on their newly restructured deals!!

[@lonniemeyer7232]

+Richard Luck I agree. There was at one point,even maybe for just one episode,a fake abyss. They never talked about that again.

[@lancelove9700]

did the band "the ting tings" and thier hit "thats not my name!" base thier band name on the sting wears sting mask incident!? the sting sting's!? what do you think!?

[@andrewstaples8677]

Starcade 94 ?

[@Jacktrack7]

Man that Virtual Boy joke was spot on.

[@stevemorganexperience7833]

Have I got it wrong but wasn't Barry wind ham a fake sting too?

[@Kanefan701]

The Underfaker and Imposter Kane at the spot in this is perfect.

[@The_Wendigo]

I honestly thought the Taker vs Taker thing was a fever dream I had....

[@breedcreed]

You Guys Deserve as many subscribers as WWE..ill keep spreadin the word...an every other fan of OSW Make Em Famous!

[@theholyross]

what about the double Earl Hebner storyline?

[@joebcc1631]

I don't watch wrestling anymore but this really brought back memories and y'all funny as shit so that helped as well

[@OSW]

Cheers brah!

[@aaronfell1816]

Haha you u guys are hilarious love your vids. But..what about THE NACHO MAN & THE HUNKSTER 😂😂

[@GodofWarChuka]

The Renegade was a Legend. Right up there with the Warrior. But got screwed over.

[@wolvie667]

loved the winter and Angelina segment

[@t-spiders1035]

I will always maintain that Renegade was actually a better version of Warrior. He could do handsprings and high spots.

[@JustBrxnsxn]

Just found yeer channel lads cool to see some irish heads making vids on pro wrestling fair play.

[@KaneRobot]

Needs more Superfly Afi. Props for using the Type Of Negative theme for Kane though.

[@trence5]

@8:48 who is Brayden Walker?

[@benjaminvlz]

The first name is actually spelled "Braden." He is perhaps best known by his real name, Chris Harris, which he worked under in TNA Wrestling, where he made a name for himself as one half of the tag team, "America's Most Wanted," along with James Storm. Harris left TNA and signed with WWE in January of 2008 and was later assigned to their ECW brand, under the name of "Braden Walker." His time in WWE is infamous due to the fact that he only appeared on two episodes of ECW before he was released from his contract, and for a corny "knock-knock joke" promo in a backstage segment involving Armando Estrada. Braden Walker: "Knock-knock." Armando Estrada: "Who's there?" Braden Walker: "Braden Walker...and I'm gonna knock your brains out."

[@fafazaj6726]

kane was really ripped. he stopped working out. oh shitt....i need to start hitting gym again...

[@advocatefish3562]

WhatCultureWrestling just ripped your video off.

[@Carlitonsp1]

It's so weird to see Tanga Loa as Camacho, as now he's portrayed as a bad ass Tongan in New Japan.

[@ryebread44]

You sneaky lads using The Patriot's theme for Kurt Angle!

[@Simonskilamb]

The Eric Angle switch where they did it with Taker Id say was better tbh (than the Brock one) absolutely brilliant finish, remember being completely fooled at the time.

[@soulofachristian8704]

09:57 I think I've finally seen the funniest thing I've ever saw here 😂🤣

[@nagilumsnangilima]

At 13:21- No it was Brian Lee, not Brian Harris. Brian Lee went on to be Chainz.

[@matthew986]

Name music of 12:30?

[@andrewblanchard2537]

it was festus on raw , but at the ppv it was someone a hell of alot tougher & meaner , he tossed kane around like a real life action figure.

[@darrylbernard8885]

Andrew Blanchard wonder if it could have been the Taker. He pulled off a damn good Kane impression against triple h. Don't think even the fans knew the difference until "Kane" removed his mask and it turned out to be the Undertaker

[@garyhernandez2577]

Man i love this channel
