Being a WWE Superstar is not an easy gig, as you will spend much of your life in some sort of pain. Not just physical pain (though that is a large part of it), as Superstars often have to go on extended periods without seeing their family, a strain for everyone involved.
Not only have some Legends been able to have a family though, but some of their kids have given the old wrestling game a try as well. These wrestlers are not only hoping to follow in the footsteps of their parents, but to far exceed them.
Here are five WWE legends you (probably) didn't know have kids in the world of professional wrestling.
#5 The Sandman - Tyler Fullington
There are few names more synonymous with ECW than The Sandman, who, during his tenure with the extreme promotion, held the ECW World title a record five times. Long-time fans of Sandman may remember one of his most heartbreaking stories against Raven in which the Flock leader indoctrinated Sandman's wife and son, making the pair loathe their husband and father.
All these years later, Tyler has grown up and is now competing himself, making his big 'return' to wrestling in 2008. Appearing at that August's Pro Wrestling Unplugged event, Tyler would follow in his father's footsteps, dishing out brutality in a street fight.
The following year, Tyler would work at an ECW reunion show 'Legends of the Arena', where he and brother Oliver would help their father and partner Sabu gain victory over Justin Credible and Raven.
#4 Sid Vicious - Gunnar Eudy
Sid Vicious. Sid Justice. Sycho Sid. Whatever you wanted to call Sid Eudy, you'd call him a success. A two-time former WWF Champion, Sid would also hold the WCW World Championship twice, as well as one brief reign as WCW United States Champion.
Outside of the ring, Sid and his wife Sabrina Paige have enjoyed over 30 years of wedded bliss, and have two sons, Frank and Gunnar.
Gunnar did follow in his father's footsteps, as according to a 2009 report by Cageside Seats, made his in-ring debut that September.
Competing under his father's old gimmick of Lord Humongous, Gunnar would later face his own father in tag team action, though it seems like the younger star has done very little in the wrestling world since then, as it looks like his in-ring career is over.
#3 Scott Hall - Cody Hall
Though he would never capture the WWF or WCW World Championships, Scott Hall had an incredible career, arguably rivalling his Outsider partner, Kevin Nash.
The WWE Hall of Famer's son Cody has had a lot to live up to, as he too has entered the wrestling world. Out of all the stars on this list, Cody has had the most success, signing with New Japan Pro Wrestling in early 2015.
Joining the Bullet Club not long after, Hall has been able to learn from top stars like AJ Styles, before signing with Pro Wrestling NOAH in 2017.
In February this year, Hall had his last match in NOAH, and though his future remains unclear, the son of the Bad Guy certainly seems to be succeeding in making a name for himself.
#2 Big Van Vader - Jake Carter
Big Van Vader may sadly no longer be with us, but the superheavyweight had an incredible career before passing in 2018.
A former three-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion, Vader would also hold the IWGP Heavyweight Championship on three occasions, had two stints as the Triple Crown Heavyweight Champion in All Japan, and captured a WWF Slammy Award.
Though sadly gone, Vader's legacy lives on in Jake Carter, his son, who worked with WWE for two years. Signing in 2011, Cater would work in FCW, winning the brand's Tag gold with Corey Graves, and even had a handful of matches in 2012 as part of the relaunched NXT.
Sadly for Carter, a career in WWE wasn't meant to be and after a series of losses, was released in 2013, after losing to Tensai.
#1 Goldust - Dakota Runnels
When the WWF thought that the Goldust character had run stale (imagine that!), the company tried to distance the man behind the paint, Dustin Runnels, from the character.
On one edition of RAW, Goldust revealed that his valet Marlena, was in-fact his real-life wife Terri, and even introduced the crowd to their pair's real daughter Dakota.
Now, over 20 years since that show, the younger Runnels has given wrestling a shot and even participated at an event last year for Overdrive Pro Wrestling.
Aligning with former Impact turned WWE star Robbie E, the duo participated in a segment that would mirror the famed abduction and marriage of Stephanie McMahon by Triple H in 1999.
With how well-received Goldust's match against Cody was at Double or Nothing, a potential father-daughter tag team is a real possibility.
