#1. David Benoit - Son of former WWE Superstar Chris Benoit

Chris Benoit was once seen as one of the most technically gifted WWE wrestlers of his generation. But whilst the wrestling world has attempted to forget The Rabid Wolverine over the past decade, his son is looking to follow in his footsteps.

David Benoit spoke to Chris Van Vliet last year, where he revealed his goal to follow his father into the business.

"I love it (wrestling). It's my life…That is the goal. To get back into wrestling. When I came here for Double Or Nothing, when I was sitting out in that crowd I just got lost in the moment, like I was way back when my dad was wrestling still."

Benoit Jr. revealed that he had trained with Lance Storm in the past and wanted to continue training in the business before going on to sign with AEW or New Japan Pro Wrestling. But he made no mention of WWE.

"That would be the goal (AEW), or New Japan. I tried getting in there… So hard to get into bro."

The second-generation star went on to reveal that he wants to wrestle in the same technical style as his father, as well as wearing similar ring attire.
