    Vader's son is quite a handsome chap, never saw that coming.
    And David Flair getting his ass whupped at the training facility by Taker is still a much appreciated contribution to the industry.

    Personally I think we shouldn't compare second-generation wrestlers to their parents. Because all it does it set impossible standards that they just can't reach. Like they aren't their parents, they're totally different people who probably wrestle differently.
    But that's just my two cents. *shrug*

    • @TrolledBy
      @TrolledBy Před 6 lety +10

      It kinda comes naturally. When your dad is a well known legend at some profession, and you try to do the same job, the comparison to your father will be very hard not to do.

    • @chocolattemocha8512
      @chocolattemocha8512 Před 6 lety +1

      Yeah. It's kind of a shame though.

    • @RKO1988
      @RKO1988 Před 6 lety +5

      It sucks when the 1st gen was a super legend in the biz - I think it puts a ton of pressure and a lot of them end up failing due to extremely high expectations.

    • @baruser2575
      @baruser2575 Před 6 lety +1

      Absolutely. Look no further than Curtis Axel. When your dad is Mr Perfect of all people, that's not gonna help your case.

    • @DoctorLazers
      @DoctorLazers Před 6 lety +5

      izzy breezey
      Would be a cool list. Maybe not father, specifically, cause that would omit guys like Rey Mysterio who inherited his identity from his uncle.
      10. Natalya Neidhart
      9. Curt Hennig
      8. Bray Wyatt
      7. Roman Reigns
      6. Eddie Guerrerro
      5. Bret Hart
      4. Rey Mysterio
      3. Randy Orton
      2. The Rock
      1. Vincent Kennedy McMahon!
      Ranked by how much better than their predecessor they are.

    • @TheCharlesJackson
      @TheCharlesJackson Před 6 lety +4

      DoctorLazers The Rock and Orton are third generation.

    • @DoctorLazers
      @DoctorLazers Před 6 lety +1

      TheCharlesJackson I was focusing on whether or not they surpassed their parent.

    • @DoctorLazers
      @DoctorLazers Před 6 lety +1

      Brian Scrivner I dunno, Natalya has had a lot of longevity, classic matches and title belts. I believe she is just as, if not more successful than her father.
      I was comparing Vince and Vince Sr on overall success and business impact than specifically in-ring stuff.

    • @DoctorLazers
      @DoctorLazers Před 6 lety +1

    George Gulas would be a big fit for this list as he was not only bad at wrestling, but he was really abrasive to the boys because he was Nick Gulas' kid. One such story had Dutch Mantell smearing his armpit with crap and shoving it in George's face when he had him in a headlock. Yeah, he'd fit the bill quite nicely.

  • @rickmartin1642
    @rickmartin1642 Před 6 lety

    Your list is quite accurate, save for one thing. When you mention "Most of the Harts", did it ever occur to you that perhaps not all of the Harts were interested in going international? Specifically, Bruce and Keith Hart worked for Stampede wrestling for a great many years, and were pretty well known across Canada. However, Keith's chosen profession was a fire fighter, and Bruce's was a schoolteacher. Unless you have interviewed both Keith and Bruce, and they have told you specifically that they wished they could have gone world wide in their careers, your opinion is a little non-sequitur on this one.

    @impalaman9707 Před 3 lety

    I was thinking about this very thing recently. It doesn't seem to be a guarantee of success anymore like it used to be. I mean--for every Randy Orton, there's an Erik Watts. For every Kevin Von Erich, there's a Brian Pillman Junior. For every Eddie Gilbert, there's a Curtis Axel. Having your father's good name just doesn't seem to cut it anymore--it can still make you a "punching bag" in squash matches.
