3. Sins Of The Father

Not until David Flair dared follow in his father's footsteps did a second generation performer disappoint so spectacularly, but was the 'Nature Boy's oldest boy cursed by his first name as much as anything else?

The coincidence lets both off lightly in truth, but David Sammartino's failed attempt to forge a career from under his 'Living Legend' Dad's Madison Square Garden spotlight was flawed before it became apparent how bang average he was between the ropes.

Bruno's appearance on the show at least ensured that the territory's legendary past briefly featured amongst it's razzle dazzle future, but - unlike his pre-'Barber' opponent - his progeny never really looked like he'd be a part of it.
