10 Second-Generation Wrestlers Who Never Made It
6. Dakota Darsow
The name Barry Darsow may not be a household one, but odds are that longtime fans will know one of his pseudonyms - he competed as Crusher Kruschev, Demolition Smash, and Repo Man, among other gimmicks. Though Darsow never did anything too impressive as a wrestler, he had a steady career and a trio of WWE World Tag Team Titles.
When his son, Dakota, was signed by WWE in 2008, many fans scoffed. It appeared that in order to get a WWE contract, you simply had to be a wrestler's son - not even a good wrestler's son. Unfortunately, the younger Darsow never even got a chance to prove himself to those same fans. His run in FCW was very brief, and he was released in 2009.
Darsow would continue working on the indies, then turn up in TNA for a few matches in 2011 and 2012. Competing in the X Division, he took on the likes of Scorpio Sky and Zema Ion, but his tenure didn't last long and he ultimately left wrestling.
