10 Sons Of Wrestling Legends Who Failed To Fill Their Father's Boots
5. Sim Snuka (Jimmy Snuka)
After stints as a youth counsellor and TV cameraman, the son of the legendary Jimmy 'Superfly' Snuka decided to take up the family business in his late 20s.
Debuting for WWE as Deuce, one half of the greaser tag-team Deuce 'n Domino, Snuka was a 35-year-old unknown quantity.
Saddled with a gimmick at least twenty years past its best before date, there was no mention of Deuce's parentage during his initial year long stint on SmackDown in 2007.
After a forgettable reign as WWE Tag-Team champion, Deuce was traded to Raw in 2008 where he revealed himself to indeed be the son of the Hall of Famer and pronounced his 'real' name to be Sim Snuka.
If he'd been ten years younger and had a muscle or two, things might have worked out different for young Snuka. As it went, the t-shirt clad Fijian looked five years older than his real age.
When Randy Orton was looking to court second generation stars for his new Legacy faction, Snuka joined fellow non-achiever Manu in being cast aside to make way for the all-ab duo of Rhodes and DiBiase.
Snuka left WWE quietly in 2009, never to be heard of again.
