10 WWE Superstars You Didn’t Know Were Related

9. The Honky Tonk Man And Jerry Lawler

Honky Tonk Man Jerry Lawler There's an obvious link here, given the Elvis Presley connotations both men had built into their character during their wrestling heyday. Of course, Jerry Lawler was best known as "The King", which was the great man's very own nickname during his musical career. But his cousin was also a WWE star with Elvis connotations - and he was perhaps the greatest Intercontinental Champion in the history of the company. Sure, men like Chris Jericho have a fair few reigns to their name, but The Honky Tonk Man's 64 consecutive weeks as Intercontinental Champion stand him above the rest. And his relation to Lawler is perhaps one of the lesser known facts about the two men and their iconic careers with the WWE. With all the shameless Elvis links, this one may not come as too much of a surprise. But there are a few fair people who aren't switched onto the fact that two of the biggest Elvis Presley influences on professional wrestling are actually cut from the same cloth.
