10 Wrestlers fans just can't stand

#7 Erik Watts

Pro wrestling's answer to rampant nepotism, Erik Watts was the son of legendary wrestler and promoter Cowboy Bill Watts.

That's pretty much his sole qualification to be a wrestler.

When scripted fights get too real - Watch Here!

Big but slow and stiff, Watts was hired by WCW while his father had considerable backstage stroke. Watts was pushed as the next big thing and went on an undefeated streak. No matter what they did, however, WCW couldn't get the fans to take Watts seriously as an unstoppable babyface.

If Erik Watts had a different father, he likely never would have gotten a contract in WCW.
