10) Charlie Haas as Beth Pheonix
Charlie Haas was one of the brightest young talents in the WWE when he teamed up with Shelton Benjamin to form the ‘World’s Greatest Tag Team’. After some initial success, both men parted ways to forge a solo career. Shelton found good success in his singles career whereas Haas had a contrasting one.
To make amends, Haas took to impersonating past and present WWE superstars and legends week after week on WWE RAW and soon became instantly popular for the concept and the perfection with which he portrayed them. However, his portrayal of the ‘Glamazon’ Beth Pheonix tops it all.
