15 Wrestlers Who Stole A Living From WCW

5. David Flair

Becoming a wrestler isn€™t something you just decide to do when you€™re in your mid-to-late twenties, no matter what WWE Tough Enough might suggest. The most successful of wrestlers are those who dreamt about it since they were children, and never gave up on that goal, toiling away for years until they finally became great wrestlers. David Flair was not one of those people. He didn€™t want to become a wrestler while growing up, yet somehow ended up in a WCW ring, attempting to follow in his famous father€™s footsteps. Sadly, David lacked all the things that made Ric Flair one of, if not the best, wrestler ever. Ring psychology, technical skill, the look, and most importantly charisma; David did not have any of these things, yet WCW still went through with building David€™s wrestling career. No matter how much WCW tried, they couldn€™t re-create Ric Flair with his son David. Not even winning both the WCW United States and World Tag Team Championships could get fans to believe that David was truly his father€™s son. David simply did not belong in a wrestling ring, yet he was given a wrestler€™s spot and salary on regular WCW programming, and this was amplified when he started getting involved with the NWO Wolfpac. It€™s a simple rule: if someone doesn€™t want to become a wrestler, they shouldn€™t be forced into doing something they know they won€™t excel in.
