5 WWE Superstars with split personalities
Gimmicks are an integral part of a Superstar's persona. Pro Wrestling's storied history has seen its fair share of memorable gimmicks. The blandest Superstars have benefitted from getting an intriguing character. Mean Mark from WCW got the gimmick of The Undertaker when he arrived in WWE, and the rest is history. The dastardly heel in The Ringmaster was turned to Stone Cold Steve Austin, creating possibly the greatest anti-hero character of all time.
On some occasions, the promotion goes all the way with a Superstar's gimmick, and ends up adding more layers to it. In simple words, a wrestler sometimes portrays a character who has a split personality, or at least shows up with said personality on rare occasions. In the following list, we will take a look at five WWE Superstars who have donned split personality gimmicks in their careers.

#5 Mick Foley/Mankind/Dude Love/Cactus Jack
Talking about going all the way with a Superstar's gimmick, WWE did the same with Hardcore Legend Mick Foley during the Attitude Era. Cactus Jack came in during the late 80s, and was known for his hardcore wrestling styles, plus his ability to take the worst forms of punishment in the ring. Foley debuted the Mankind character in WWE, and turned it into a legendary character, with his Hell in a Cell Match against The Undertaker still regarded as a standard for brutal bouts.
Dude Love came soon after, who was nothing close to his past personas. Mick Foley created history at the Royal Rumble 1998, by coming out to the ring on three separate occasions, each time donning a different persona. Unfortunately, he still didn't manage to win the free-for-all, with Stone Cold Steve Austin coming out the victor in the end.
