10 Most Successful Third-Generation WWE Wrestlers
2. Randy Orton
As third-generation wrestlers go, Randy Orton is second to none. Actually, he's second to one, but he's still pretty darn good.
The son of 'Cowboy' Bob Orton and grandson of wrestler Bob Orton Sr., 'The Viper' has established himself as one of the great wrestlers of his generation.
He's held numerous titles in WWE and is a 13-time World Champion. The master of the RKO was also the youngest man to win the WWE World Championship — having done so when we was just 24 years of age. Perhaps even more impressive is that Orton has spent over a decade as a top act with the world's most well-known wrestling promotion.
Outside the ring, Randy Orton has starred in several WWE movies including such memorable titles as 12 Rounds 2: Reloaded and The Condemned 2. While the former champ didn't exactly receive any Academy Awards for his film roles, he did earn some extra cash, thus adding to his financial success.
The 38-year-old is an outstanding in-ring performer who is naturally charismatic - attributes that have helped make him the second most successful third-generation star of all time.
