Ranking WWE's First Ever NXT Class - From Worst To Best
43. Jake Carter
As the son of the late, great Vader, Jake Carter had wrestling in his blood though perhaps lacked a little of his father's killer instinct. It certainly wasn't just a different look that separated him from the former WCW Champion.
Such is the way the wrestling world works, it was a blessing and a curse to be second generation. Carter worked some tag team matches with his the late 'Mastodon', and his Dad was presumably a big part of the door being opened for him in the first place. Ultimately though, his career wasn't able to take root for any of the companies he passed through, including WWE's own developmental system.
A half-decent run in both FCW and NXT never yielded anything of note on a revamped black-and-gold brand in 2013. He worked what was likely his last match in February 2021, winning a 30-man Rumble for Wrestling Theology Fellowship, and appeared on camera a year later when he inducted his Dad into the WWE Hall Of Fame.
