Famous Sibling: Jake Roberts

Career Highlights: WWE Women's Champion (Rockin' Robin), NWA Central States Heavyweight Championship (Sam Houston)

No fewer than three of journeyman grappler Grizzly Smith's children went into the wrestling business. Jake Roberts was the most successful, obviously; even though he never won a championship in WWE, he's one of the most iconic figures of the 1980's wrestling boom.

Rockin' Robin DID win a title there, holding the WWE Women's Championship from 1988 to 1990, although the competition wasn't exactly stiff in those days. Sam Houston was the least successful of the three, peaking in the NWA as a junior partner of Dusty Rhodes and Magnum T.A.
