Whilst the company was seemingly more than happy to let the likes of Chris Jericho go, they elected to focus instead on a wrestler who didn't really have quite as much potential. Confusingly, WCW seemed intrigued by the possibility of pushing David Flair to the top of the card, more than likely simply because he was the son of 'Nature Boy' Ric Flair. Unfortunately for those in charge, young David didn't appear to have a shred of the talent that his father possessed. Worse yet, the man didn't even have a particularly awe-inspiring body, nor was he actually any use on the microphone. In fact, when looking at David's career in WCW, he didn't really have a lot going for him, so why were the promotion so interested in pushing him ahead of others? Was it nepotism? Perhaps, but that can't be the only reason. Even after the man had tanked when appearing alongside his significantly-more-skilled dad, WCW continued to feature him, albeit in a more-reduced role as a tag-team performer. Let's not forget, this was the same company who put their World Title on an actor, and considered Tank Abbott for a top line role, so it's remarkable that David Flair didn't hold the big gold belt at least once.
