7 Second generation wrestlers who didn’t live up to the legacy of their famous fathers

6: Erik Watts (son of Bill Watts)

Erik Watts failed despite repeated pushes by his father

Bill Watts is a legendary booker best known for his time in WCW. His son Eric, however, was one of the blandest and most boring wrestlers of all time. He’s gotten as many chances to get over as anyone in the business and has failed repeatedly. The monster push Bill gave his son soon after his debut is one of the worst cases of nepotism in wrestling.

Erik debuted as a bland babyface in the early 90s but the crowd turned against him because he sucked as a wrestler. After failing in WCW, Erik Watts moved to the WWE in the mid 90’s as Troy, one-half of the tag-team – Tekno Team 2000. They sucked and were booted off television a few months into their run. It’s funny, seeing the difference in Erik Watts’ booking when the booker wasn’t his father.
