He just remained the dead man. He wasn't he wasn't inviting. He wasn't like, you know Switched up. He literally embodied the Undertaker in public and that's that sometimes makes the the overall character the overall Act even better when you see them in real life and they're like, yo He really is the same way as he is on television. That's crazy That's when they people were trying to keep K-POP of a kayfabe alive. It's the way that you see that now So we're gonna see some of these other interest instances where wrestlers Took that extra step just to really sell home that character But I appreciate all the love and support you guys on the channel. Let's get right into this one There have been some iconic There have been some iconic characters throughout wrestling history But what stands out is when a wrestler is so devoted to their fictional persona that they take their character to the next level The wrestler will do everything in their power to make fans believe that the character is who they genuinely are in real life And sometimes wrestlers go beyond what is expected to make this work Join us as wrestling me looks at 10 wrestlers who took their role to an unprecedented level Be sure to subscribe and hit that notification bell for daily wrestling videos and subscribe to wrestling facebook for exclusive liars Also, check out wrestling.co.uk and another on wrestling channel incredible Number 10 gang rail. I'm one of the most popular characters of the attitude. I want y'all to know for those who don't know when I was a kid Gang rail and the brood man. They used to scare the shit out of me. They were vampires, bro. That shit scared me They were drinking blood that shit scared me as a kid I'm not gonna lie to you. He definitely in the group. Definitely scared me as a girl was gang rail He was a gothic mysterious vampire who joined forces with edging christian to form the brood Whilst gang rail never reached main event level status in wwe His persona is still fondly remembered over two decades after gang rail's initial debut and gang rail is still consistently booked as the persona Which is a credit to his devotion and passion to the character Yeah, gang rail was so dedicated to making the character work that he actually had fangs Implanted into his mouth. I didn't know that same thing for gang rail to do And it's crazy to think that he actually went through with the real life altering cosmetic change Number nine dan house and definitely didn't I know that? Oh, wow. Didn't I know he had the fangs at all? You know as a girl, I thought they were you know faked teeth. He had them Actually implanted that's wild That's wild Brother dan house and character has been one of the more interesting characters that have surfaced over the past few years Dan house and likes to describe the character as Conan O'Brien possessed by a demon One of the things that made the character work is how dan house to be honest, which I've never understood his character He was kind of new to me a lot of you guys have been familiar with him It's crazy that we're talking about this on a wwe list I don't know if he was ever in wwe at some point, but he's definitely in a w so I guess you just put them in the list I don't have a problem with it. It's just calling it. You might as well Just call the 10 wrestlers who took the gimmick to an extreme uh, well unprecedented level instead of wwe Can I'm only thinking it's just gonna be a wwe Uh compilation, but that's fine. I'm all for it. I just never understood dan house's character So house an outright refuses to deviate in any way shape or form from the character Whenever he makes any form of public appearances He will sport the full makeup and keep every inch of his character's credibility intact Which is crazy this can even be seen on the popular youtube series ethan pages toy hunt Dan house and regularly features on the show and always remains in character even in a setting such as a toy store number eight the ultimate warrior Whilst it is traditionally celebrated when the wrestler goes the extra mile with their character Sometimes they can go too far. This was arguably the case with the ultimate warrior Warrior was a colorful personality in the 80s But warrior notoriously struggled to separate his fictional wwe persona from who he actually was So much so that in 1993 warrior did the unthinkable and he changed his name legally Tawariya This was a decision Which was criticized at the time as there was concerns that warrior had completely broken down the barriers between fiction and reality The warrior name would later be used as surnames for his children And the warrior name was something of the man behind the character jim helwig took immense pride Into his ownership of recent piece now some say that this was a legal tactic As if warrior changed his name legally to a warrior He would own the ultimate warrior trademark which belonged to wwe However, that didn't work out. Yeah number seven kane But when the kane character first debuted in wwe in 1997 nobody could if kane's on the list You gotta put on and take on this list That's all i'm saying i've predicted just how successful the character would become For over two decades the character has been cemented as an iconic persona and has managed to remain relevant throughout multiple errors in wwe Even though in later years kane would distance himself from the character both from an onscreen perspective And a real-life perspective the kane character was a persona that glenn jacob seemingly devoted his life to Upon kane's debut and throughout the attitude era kane would do everything in his power to keep the mystery behind his character intact So much so that kane would wear his mask at all times during public appearances and even when leaving the arena This is this is why k-fave was taken seriously back then it was Because you wanted people to buy into it And i i appreciate those that even try to keep k-fave alive now mjf is a a person i can think of instantly I i honestly act i believe i believe he is a he's a piece of he's an asshole bro I just believe it. He's a piece of garbage to everyone to his to his fiance To to his mom to his dad like and people play along with it and i believe that i love that man It's just cool to see when people just stay true to the character It it enhances it in my opinion even though we know it's a pre-determined situation It just makes it you know, it just makes it a little bit fun to see a wrestler be like Yeah, i'm staying true to the character and if you follow jf on twitter He is a heel through and through and i love it and people who don't follow wrestling They just think he's a piece of crap. I think they think he's an asshole and i love that too This is why it was such a huge deal when kane eventually unmasked in 2003 As there was a portion of the audience who genuinely didn't know what kane looked like That ain't also a character one step further in 2006 upon kane's horror movie being released without being the infamous Ceno evil movie kane had to attend several media appearances Which wasn't common for him in the slightest Yeah, kane did every interview and every appearance completely in character It was an unbelievable commitment, but it actually worked And got the wider audience talking about the sinister character known as kane The former champion would even attend the premiere of his movie in full ww attire Thankfully these images are still heavily distributed on social media So there's always a constant reminder of how much kane valued and cared about being the undertaker's demonic half brother number six Bray Wyatt Is who have received a popularity of the past decade has been bray Wyatt Wyatt is incredibly gifted from a creative aspect as his character work is some of the finest ever seen in wwe Wyatt is constantly thinking of new ways to approach his character and this has truly resonated with fans And it's apparent how much care and love Wyatt has for his personas that he creates This was evident in 2012 when Wyatt did jury service as the bray Wyatt persona This was the idea of dusty roads who believed it will help Wyatt connect with the persona And it worked wonders for Wyatt as he slowly evolved into the unusual character fans know and love What makes Wyatt stand out is how his passion and love comes through in his art when he was shockingly released from wwe in 2021 Wyatt still kept the characters he created in motion This was a smart move as when Wyatt eventually returned to wwe in 2022 His new characters had a ton of easter eggs and continuity points thanks to Wyatt's devotion to his character Wyatt is definitely one of those people that Bro, you can't tell whether he's being serious with whether he's being in character He blends it all well together Whereas it's ultimately like he's keeping kayfabe alive in his in his own bray universe. I love that I appreciate his creativity and hopefully, you know, we continue to see Where they take this story with him returning what he got going on with la night. I love it. I love it Definitely definitely deserves to be where he's at and hopefully maybe one day Maybe we see break. Wyatt is wwe champion again Because I do think he deserves it in my life Chris Jericho A chris jericho has made a career out of reinvention. This is especially the case in 2008 when jericho turned heel and started wearing a suit That was so good dish the rock star x persona and would begin to talk slowly And he would become a character with much more subtlety yet his work was tremendous Some fans may argue that this was the finest work of jericho's entire career I'm gonna be honest with you. I'm gonna be honest with you and we may and comment down below We can have this discussion. I think his run in 07 was one of the best runs. He's ever had in wwe, of course in wwe I think his 07 run was 07 0808 run When he started feuding with Shawn Michaels was so good and it just went from there. I loved it, bro I loved it Oh, man, that was one of the best decisions for him to come back as a yield career and it's hard to argue against them So one of the reasons that the character worked so well was that jericho remained in character all the time Whenever he was in public, he would outright refuse to stop for fans to sign autographs It wasn't who he was anymore Jericho wanted to literally become the hateful character in real life This was unthinkable at the time and it was extremely rare for a wrestler to be this committed to a character According to Jericho, people were so angered that he evolved into this villain that he was actually attacked in public Due to how much fans loved him as a person Jericho would discuss his heel character during an appearance on wrestlers own radio and the inaugural undisputed champion stated If you know people were talking in the streets and after victoria after the South Carolina happened Las Vegas Damn, you get that sort of reaction. You know that you're doing something That's bro When you're getting that mad mind you this is a time period when people know Wrestling for the most part is, you know, it's predetermined people know this. This is public knowledge A lot of people stop watching wrestling because they think it is fake So there's still around that time period and you have people actually buying in To a character to the point where they want to put hands on you, which no do not condone Please don't do that y'all. Please do not do that Do not put your hands on someone else because you see a storyline and you didn't like what happened. Don't do that but i'm just saying That's when you know You've got you got people now. You've got their attention for mgf. I just said it Just said it. K-fabe is a lost star I just said it Got the memo mgf's character on screen is the exact scene persona fans will encounter in public At a range of meet and greets and in any mean all by the way, I did see his match between uh, uh, mjf and uh, tony stark's very good match Love the ending him being a heel day brian daniel's danielson coming out there to chase him Looking forward to what they do with each other as well the interview Mgf has taken the character to the next level by devoting every minute of every day to his fictional persona This has worked wonders for mgf's popularity as mgf's meet and greets Notoriously sold out whilst most wrestlers deviate away from the persona for meet and greets to give fans a special moment Mgf refuses to do this. I love it. He'll insult anyone and it doesn't matter who he offends Yes, how much controversy it causes even the kid to see a for mgf eventually joins wwe And if this character dedication will remain in motion or mgf will be forced to scale back the character due to Wwe's pg guidelines Number three ray mysterio So when ray mysterio signed with wwe in 2002, he wasn't initially going to debut with the mask Mysterio had previously lost his mass during his finally as a wqw But since bengman insisted he wanted a mass mysterio in wwe This was a smart move as the mystery mass became popular with fans and continues to be a huge top seller for wwe 20 years after mysterio's debut Mysterio for the past two decades has tried to keep his identity hidden by wearing the iconic mask at all times Eventually any setting in which mysterio could be seen by the public Mysterio will be sporting his mask and he outright refuses to make any exceptions to this rule Due to him needing a new mass seemingly on a daily basis Mysterio has admitted that he has over a thousand masks in his collection And he doesn't like to wear the same one twice This is an expensive dedication to the art of kfabe and one fans have to appreciate Number two gold that's awesome too. The gold is character was initially supposed to be an adrogynous character Yeah, the character evolved into so much more bro, Dustin bro bro he he He embodied that character a little bit too much in my opinion. I've always thought I was like, yo he He is he is committed Character was way ahead of its time and the devotion to pulling the character off in the 90s should have been afforded During the attitude era the character was beginning to get stale and this is when goldus pitched an idea to wwe He was gonna go under the knife and receive breast implants Goldus believed that this would breathe new life into his character He wouldn't make fans want to see him wrestle the crazy idea was eventually shot down But it highlighted the ownership goldus took over the persona and how he was willing to do whatever it took to make it memorable And number one the undertaker My man's was ready to get breast implants. Hey, yo, whoa, bro. What the wait? I guess it was that serious, but My opinion wasn't and of course I'm glad the undertaker was number one because he's the one person that took the character To a whole new level like I said at the beginning of the video To argue against the opinion that the undertaker is the greatest character in wrestling history That for 30 years the dead man devoted his entire life to wwe as well as a fiction on persona known as the undertaker Taken never once broke away from his character and they successfully managed to keep the integrity Credibility and mystique behind the character embedded into the fabric of pop culture Following taker's retirement in 2020 He made the decision to put aside the persona and let fans explore the man behind the character For the past two years the dead man has taken part and out of character interviews and made public appearances And even let fans meet him for the first time in his career While somewhat critical of taker's decision to finally break kayfabe The dead man finally gave fans and the wrestling industry 30 years of dedication And now it was time for fans to truly get to know who mark callaway was. Yeah, but they have it folks I don't have a problem with him Finally breaking kayfabe Because I mean he's done it all there's there's no need For him to even keep up the act because it's like you're not wrestling like that no more You're finally retired You you know, you've done it all he the undertaker Has given us His body His mind You know like his you know his his pretty much damn here his soul to entertain us all for so many years One of the few wrestling characters. I was a truly afraid of My I was afraid of gang rail, but the undertaker I was terrified of him and came terrified As kids they they invoked fear in me At those segments I used to really like not want to watch those segments when it came on television And to know that the man stayed in character All those many years Doesn't matter where he was in public if you saw the undertaker There was a good chance probably weren't gonna get a picture with him He probably wasn't going to be able to have a conversation with him. He just stayed true to the character That that's that's a testament and I love to see that Uh, I wish I could see more of that in the wrestling biz once again kayfabe isn't what it used to be But it's cool to see those like mjf try to maintain that that level of This is who I am day in day out There's no there's no let me take pictures with you. I'm a heal You're not supposed to take pictures with me. You're supposed to hate me I'm gonna make you hate me even when I'm not on camera. I love that Comment down below. Let me know who was your favorite wrestler to ever keep kayfabe alive Like when it could be somebody in the past somebody down Who was your favorite wrestler that you love the fact that they stayed in character? Wherever they went let me know down below But I appreciate all the love and support the guys have shown on the channel row two 150k appreciate y'all kicking with me. See y'all next one. Peace
