Former WWE wrestler Alberto Del Rio had a great run with the WWE until his last days
where he felt unhappy with his position within the company. During his time in the WWE, Del
Rio achieved a lot, winning the WWE Championship twice and the World Heavyweight Championship
twice. He also won the 2011 Royal Rumble and the 2011 Money in the Bank ladder match, making
him the only professional wrestler to win both in the same year. His father on the other
hand was also a professional wrestler who wrestled under the name, Dos Caras. Although
he never wrestled in the WWE, he did achieve great success in the ‘70s and ‘80s in
Mexico’s Universal Wrestling Alliance, where he won the UWA World Heavyweight Championship
three times. However, his accolades do not outshine his son’s as Del Rio has achieved
far more in the wrestling industry than his father. Plus, he’s got Paige so he automatically
wins.
Although relations between Randy Savage and Mr McMahon were strained *cough Stephanie
*cough, Savage did have a great wrestling career. In fact, Savage is widely regarded
as one of the greatest professional wrestlers in history. His father, Angelo Puffo, was
also a professional wrestler and had a fairly successful career that spanned over 6 decades.
However, his career did not reach the height and success of his son, Randy. “Macho Man”
Randy Savage competed in the WWF and WCW, winning 29 titles throughout his 32-year career.
He also main-evented three Wrestlemania matches and won the 1987 WWF King of the Ring tournament.
WWE themselves even said that Savage was the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all
time and was credited for bringing "a higher level of credibility to the title through
his amazing in-ring performances".
Now now, I know what you are all thinking, ugh Roman Reigns are you mad? What the f*ck
is wrong with you? But to be fair you cannot argue with the amount of success he has achieved
within the WWE so far. Regardless, if it is handed out to him by Mr McMahon. Reigns’
father, Sika Anoaʻi, competed in the WWF during the 1980s and is best known as a member
of Wild Samoans. He, alongside his partner Afa, won the WWF Tag Team championships three
times throughout his WWF stay. But in comparison to his son, he’s got nothing on him. Roman
Reigns made his main roster debut in 2012 alongside Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins forming
the highly loveable team, The Shield. When Reigns entered singles competition in 2014
after The Shield broke up, (we see you Seth), Reigns became this unstoppable guy who rarely
loses a match. He has won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship three times, the United States
Championship once (which was so pointless in my opinion), the Tag Team championships
once, the 2015 Royal Rumble winner and believe it or not, the 2014 Superstar of the Year.
He has even set the record for most eliminations in a Royal Rumble match with 12 in the 2014
event. All these achievements within 2 years of singles competition. Who knows what 2017
has to offer for him?
Randy Orton is a third-generation professional wrestler. His grandfather, Bob Orton Senior,
wrestled in NWA and AWA and his father, Bob Orton Junior, was known in the WWE as “Cowboy”
Bob Orton. “Cowboy” Bob Orton was known during his time in the WWE as Roddy Piper’s
bodyguard but unlike his son, he never won any championships and didn’t have any main
event pushes. Randy Orton on the other hand has done extremely well to make a name for
himself within the company. In fact, he has won 15 championships so far in the WWE. He
was the winner of the 2013 Money in the Bank Ladder Match (for the WWE Championship contract)
and he was the winner of the 2009 Royal Rumble match. He has also headlined numerous amounts
of pay per views including Wrestlemania XXV and Wrestlemania XXX. When he does eventually
retire, his legacy throughout the company, excuse the pun, will certainly be one that
everyone will remember as he has put the Orton family name higher up in the WWE ranks than
his father ever did and I’m sure his father is very proud for what his son has achieved.
To say The Rock has done well for himself would be a big understatement. And I mean
big! Even without wrestling, The Rock has gone on to be the world’s highest paid actor
of 2016. The Rock’s father, Rocky Johnson, competed in the WWF during the 1980s. He managed
to win the Tag Team Championship once with Tony Atlas, becoming the first black tag team
to hold the title. However, his son’s success is at a whole new level. Dwayne “The Rock”
Johnson started his career in the WWE in 1996 and became a major figure in the company’s
Attitude Era. He went on to win 17 championships, including 10 as a world champion, two as an
Intercontinental champion and 5 as a tag team champion. And furthermore, he was the 2000
Royal Rumble winner. So it is no surprise that he is widely regarded as one of the greatest
professional wrestlers of all time. See
you at Wrestlemania Rocky!
