#5 The Flair Dynasty

Ric Flair and his family.

Perhaps the greatest wrestler to ever lace up a pair of boots, it was only natural that Ric Flair's name would open doors for his children.

David Flair, his oldest son, actually had a fairly memorable run on WCW, teaming with Crowbar and kayfabe girlfriend Daffney.

The unlikely pairing of Crowbar and David Flair was a surprising success, despite Flair's limited ring ability.

Unfortunately, David never rose to the same heights as his father. He did hold the US title if in a rather dubious fashion, having beaten no one for the belt. David and Crowbar were crowned WCW tag team champions but their success was short-lived. These days David is no longer an active wrestler.

Ric's other son, Reid, showed a lot of promise. He wrestled his first match at ten years old! Sadly, he lost a battle with addiction and is no longer with us.

Ric's only child who still actively wrestles is Charlotte, who may be the most skilled competitor of the whole clan.

The name "Flair" carries a ton of weight in wrestling circles, and Ric is often called--rightfully so--the G.O.A.T. of professional wrestling. While his sons failed to make a major impact, his daughter has spearheaded the "women's revolution" going on in the WWE and looks to be continuing in her father's footsteps. And let's not forget that any time a wrestler uses a 'chop,' the whole crowd chants "wooo!" Regardless of the federation, they are watching. Here's a look at what many wrestling scholars consider the greatest feud of all time, Ric Flair vs. Ricky Steamboat.
