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

Which wrestlers failed to live up to their family legacy?

5: Brian Christopher (son of Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler)

Brian Christopher found success in WWE’s tag-team division but was never as successful as his father

One thing about Brian Christopher, he never used his father’s name in order to get over with the fans. The former Tag-Team Champion is the son of WWE legend Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler. Christopher is best remembered as Grand Master Sexay, the least important member of Too Cool, along with Scotty 2 Hotty and Rikishi.

Looking at Christopher’s career, it’s easy to forget that he’s the son of the Memphis wrestling legend and one of the voices of the Attitude Era, Jerry Lawler. Lawler is a bona fide legend from his wrestling days alone (110+ World titles won across promotions from the territory days), without even counting his commentary work and he’s also a WWE Hall of Famer. His son, on the other hand, was a lower-midcarder at best for most of his career. He was released from the company in 2001 after he was caught conveying drugs across the Canada-Us border.

A WWE Hall of Famer isn't a John Cena fan. More details HERE

It’s also interesting to note that like many children of wrestlers, Brian only saw his father two or three times a year while he was growing up and two have always had a rocky relationship.
