7 Second Generation Superstars Who Will Surpass Their Parents

There's an 'apples and oranges' problem here, that much is true.

Suggesting that Charlotte Flair will one day be spoken of in hallowed tones beyond those of her legendary father Ric may currently seem absurd. 'The Nature Boy' is the reason scores of other legends even laced boots, an unqualified success as a performer and a draw for his prime years, and a vital figure at numerous points in wrestling's rich past. To compare the two at the moment would be folly - Charlotte is merely five years into a career she may not keep as long as her dad did, but it's exactly this reason why there's every chance she will one day go on to craft a legacy beyond even his platinum standard.

Her CV is already impressive enough to have 'Slick Ric' himself suggest that she's "greater than he ever was". That's parental bias of course, but Flair's presumably referring to how quick she's mastered up the skills he spent his life trying to perfect, and the legitimate history she's already made in such a short time.

The crown jewel of WWE's Performance Center, Flair morphed into a near-flawless all-rounder in record time, amassing a title collection that literally can't ever be replicated thanks to her championship success as an NXT and WWE 'Diva' before a rebrand she helped forge took place in 2016.

Since then, she's broken ground her father never even needed to tread. Ric was a made man in a man-made game. Charlotte, more than any other female performer past or present, has re-written the rules with her work whilst those above have taken the credit for the change she's helped create.
