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

2: David Flair (son of Ric Flair)

David Flair was only pushed because of who his father was

Ric Flair is one of the most iconic and recognizable names in the history of wrestling with many considering him the greatest of all time. One thing we have to admit at this point is that David would have been overshadowed by his father no matter how talented he could have been nor how many world titles he could have won. Instead, David was terrible inside the ring but was pushed to the moon by WCW based on whose son he was.

David would definitely never had made it to the big leagues had he not been the son of ‘The Nature Boy’. He was featured in prominent storylines along with his father, Stacey Keibler and others during his run in WCW in the late 90’s. He even ended up feuding with his father at one point.

Even though David was a terrible wrestler with no charisma to speak of, he is a former United States Champion and a former WCW Tag-Team Champion. His most famous moment in the WWE is getting pummeled by The Undertaker.

Thankfully, Charlotte is continuing the Flair family legacy and doing an admirable job so far as one of the Four Horsewomen of NXT.
