16 Most Illustrious Fake Families In Wrestling History

Here they are, folks, The Bearer clan, pro wrestling's ultimate family of gothic Jerry Springer guests. The saga of Paul and his boys has dragged on for more than twenty years, beginning with his purchase of 'Taker's contract from Brother Love way back in 1990. The partnership was harmonious for half a decade, until Paul turned on his charge to side with Mankind, and soon after that he began to ominously mention... Kane.

Ultimately, it was revealed that Bearer had fathered a bastard (BASTARD! BASTARD!) son named Kane with Mrs. Undertaker, and that Undertaker had then burned down the funeral home where everyone lived. A comically intense sibling rivalry ensued, including instances of the brothers burying each other alive, killing each other with fire, and, most memorably, digging up the literal caskets of their parents and chokeslamming each other through them.

Bearer was also killed repeatedly, most memorably in an elaborate concrete aquarium apparently designed to vanquish the 1966 versions of Batman and Robin. Despite all this feuding and fighting, the brothers also found time to form a very successful tag team and enjoy a number of world championships as individuals.

Oh, and Lita, and her baby that Gene Snitsky punted into the stands. Them too.
