10 Second-Generation Wrestlers Who Never Made It

10. Scott Putski

"Polish Power" Ivan Putski was a beloved WWE superstar during the 1970s and '80s. Though he never captured the WWE World Championship, he feuded with many of the top heels of the era - men like Bruiser Brody and Ivan Koloff - and teaming with Tito Santana, he won the WWE World Tag Team Titles. His status as a legend of the time got him inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 1995.

Putski was inducted by his son, Scott, and that's certainly the closest that Scott will get to any Hall of Fame. Though the younger Putski was built like his father and had a couple of brief runs in WWE, he was clearly not a superstar.

His most notable bout came at In Your House: Ground Zero, when he took on Brian Christopher in an undercard match. Only minutes into the contest, Christopher dove out of the ring onto Putski, but Putski blew out his knee while catching him, forcing an end to the match. Putski soon left WWE, then after a brief run in WCW, he all but left the business.
