#2. WWE Hall of Famer "Mr Perfect" Curt Hennig

Mr Perfect was seen as one of the greatest athletes in WWE history, after being fired from WWE in 2002 following The Plane Ride from Hell, it's interesting that his son Curtis Axel was still able to make it to WWE.

Hennig himself was a second-generation superstar who was looking to follow in the footsteps of his father Larry "The Axe" Hennig. Mr Perfect was a former Intercontinental Champion in WWE and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2007, just four years after his untimely passing.

Curtis Axel made his wrestling debut a few months after his father's Hall of Fame induction and went on to join WWE following his appearance at the ceremony. Axel was part of The Nexus in 2010 before going on to become Intercontinental Champion just like his father a few years later.

The third-generation star went on to become part of The Social Outcasts, The Megapowers, The Miztourage and The B-Team before he was released from the company after 13-years as part of budget cuts in April 2020.
