Wrestling really is a one-of-a-kind sport, with the fans being conditioned to believe that everything is totally real, when in reality that isn't the case. Because of that, there is no wonder that there are so many wrestling theories and myths that exist, with the constant swirling rumours about storylines, things that may or may not have happened and everything in between.

And though the WWE is a place where urban legends thrive, almost all of them have been proven to be nothing more than works of fiction. That hasn't stopped some fans from believing these conspiracies despite the facts being presented in front of them.

Here are five debunked WWE urban legends that some fans still believe.


#5 There were two Ultimate Warriors

Some fans still believe that the Ultimate Warrior was replaced by an imposted when he returned to the WWF in 1992.

When the Ultimate Warrior left the WWE after Summerslam 1991, he left under a wave of controversy. After several months away, the face-painted star returned in time for WrestleMania 8 the following year, but the return of the former WWF Champion led many to believe something was afoot in the WWF.

Some fans believe that it was actually a different man, with the theory being that because the alleged replacement was slightly smaller and had different hair, meaning it must have been someone else. The reality, of course, is that Jim Hellwig had a haircut and had trimmed down slightly, and it was Warrior, the one and only, who returned to the WWE in 2014 to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, shortly before his untimely passing days later.
