5 Famous Wrestlers' Kids who couldn't make it in WWE

Having a famous father doesn’t guarantee you anything in WWE, no matter how many people say otherwise.

David and Reid Flair are the sons of none other than 16-time world champion Ric Flair. David found himself in an interesting spot with WCW even before his pro-wrestling career got started. In a segment of WCW, it was noted that his father was going to have to "retire" if he lost his match, so his family appeared to increase the emotions.

After the WCW buyout, WWE gave David a chance, signing him to their developmental territory OVW. The younger Flair never did come along enough to be re-introduced to national television, however, from there he went on to handful of independent circuits to finish his wrestling career before retiring from the business.

Then his half-brother Reid (younger than David) looked like a blue chip prospect for WWE before his tragic passing on March 29, 2013, due to an overdose of Heroin. Reid only wrestled two matches for WCW in which he got defeated.
