10 Sons Of Wrestling Legends Who Failed To Fill Their Father's Boots

In his book Delta of the Metaphysics, Aristotle described perfection as something "which is so good that nothing of the kind could be better".

Joe Hennig should have known he was buggered.

The grandson of Larry 'The Axe' Hennig and the popular WWF Intercontinental champion Mr Perfect Curt Hennig, Joe Hennig's introduction to WWE should have resulted in fanfare.

Instead WWE named him Michael McGillicutty and had him join The Nexus.

A good but unexceptional worker, Joe was lacking in all the areas that made his dad one of the greatest performers of his generation.

After The Nexus wound up becoming a glorified job squad for John Cena to run through, McGillicutty was sent back to NXT to refine his skills.

Returning in 2012 as Paul Heyman's new guy - the similarly stupid sounding Curtis Axel - Hennig went on a temporary winning streak and even emotionally captured his father's famed Intercontinental title before settling into what would become his now permanent role in WWE.

Carving out a position as a featured jobber, first as a Hulk Hogan impersonator before winding up as a Social Outcast and the Miz's lackey, Axel's career is in a current upward trend as one half of the lucky WWE tag-team champions, the B-team

A far cry from perfection.
