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

David Flair never wanted to be a wrestler, but that didn't stop WCW from hiring him in 1999.

Initially scheduled for a one night only appearance as his father's tag-team partner at Souled Out in 1999, while David showed negative wrestling acumen, WCW - in full throwing s**t against the wall mode - decided the Flair name was a big enough reason to give him a contract.

After a brief period training in the Power Plant, David returned to WCW TV where his old man stripped Scott Steiner of the United States title and gave it his boy.

While the reign was mercifully short, David's pedestrian performances endured into 2000, exhibiting no athletic qualities and an indifference to improving as a performer.

Following the WCW buyout, Flair's contract was picked up by WWE, presumably in an attempt to see if they could get anything out of the Flair name, but OVW's best efforts similarly went unrewarded.

After being roughed up by The Undertaker to generate interest in his father's WrestleMania match with the phenom, David was released, where he joined fellow failures Erik Watts and Brian Lawler in TNA to form the ironically entitled 'Next Generation' stable.
