10 WWE Superstars You Didn’t Know Were Related

8. Cody Rhodes And The Shockmaster

Shockmaster Cody Rhodes The only lists The Shockmaster is used to being on are ones that involve the biggest botches, or biggest failures in wrestling history. That moment when he fell through the set of Ric Flair's talk show and landed flat on his face is a popular video on YouTube, but believe it or not, he also has relatives in the modern day WWE. That's because The Shockmaster - real name Fred Ottman - is actually an uncle to current WWE star Cody Rhodes (I refuse to call him Stardust). Many of Cody's wrestling relatives are well known - like his father Dusty and brother Goldust - but Cody actually has relations with the man responsible for perhaps the worst debut in wrestling history. His infamous mishap at Clash of the Champions XXIV (when he was teaming up with The British Bulldog and Sting) is one of the most cult moments in WWE history - and is often referred to as the biggest and most high-profile botches of all-time. Let's just hope Cody makes enough of an impact throughout his career to not be referred to as a nephew of The Shockmaster!
