5 WWE Superstars who appeared on TV when they were kids

#4 Richie Steamboat

Richie Steamboat

Contrary to his father Ricky Steamboat, Richie didn't have much of a career in WWE. He began his training in the late 2000s, and was signed to a contract in 2009 and registered a loss in his debut match against Heath Slater in FCW. He suffered an injury in a match with Kassius Ohno in late 2012, and this was it for him as a wrestler. He was soon let go by WWE and Ricky Steamboat revealed years later that Richie's injury forced him out of pro-wrestling.

Old-school fans of WWE who kept up with the product back in the 80s and 90s might have seen Richie Steamboat make appearances on WWE as well as WCW TV. At WrestleMania 4 at Trump Plaza, Steamboat faced Greg "The Hammer" Valentine in the first round of the WWE title tournament. Unfortunately, Steamboat lost the match and was out of the tournament in the first round itself. Before the match, Ricky was seen carrying a young Richie in his arms, with the kid being dubbed by him as The Little Dragon. When Steamboat went to WCW, fans got to see Richie appear on TV and accompany his father to the ring on a few occasions.
