5 Parents who managed their children in WWE

#4 David Sammartino (managed by Bruno Sammartino)

David and Bruno Sammartino

Bruno Sammartino needs no introduction in the pro-wrestling world. He is regarded by many as the greatest WWE Champion of all time and rightfully so. Sammartino held the WWE title on two occasions, with the two reigns having a combined run of 4,040 days. His son, David Sammartino, couldn't make as big of an impact in the pro-wrestling business. Back in 1985, Bruno managed his son for a very brief period while he was in WWE.

At the very first WrestleMania, David took on Brutus Beefcake. While Bruno accompanied him to the ring, Beefcake came out along with Johnny Valiant. The chaotic ending to the match saw Bruno helping his son against the dastardly villains. The match ended in a double disqualification as a result. The aftermath of the match saw Bruno coming out of retirement to aid his son in various matches. David, contrary to his father, never won a title while wrestling under the WWE umbrella. He soon faded into obscurity after wrestling for a string of promotions over the next several years.
