watching the recent promos with Dibiase/Rhodes/Manu/Orton made me realise how many 2nd/3rd/4th generation superstars are on the roster
i can think of:
Nattalya (Jim Neidhart's daughter)
Harry Smith ( Davey Boy Smith's son)
Ted Dibiase (Ted Dibiase Snr's son)
Cody Rhodes (Dusty Rhode's Son)
Carlito (Carlos Colon's son)
Primo Colon (see above)
Randy Orton (Bob Oreton's son)
in the past we've seen:
The Rock (Rocky Johnson's son)
Golddust (Dusty Rhode's son)
any others?

Two of his uncles, his brother, and several of his first cousins have wrestled, but neither of his parents were wrestlers to my knowledge. By most people's criteria, you have to be the son or daughter of a wrestler to be considered second generation.

I believe the Rock's maternal grandfather Peter Maivia is the brother of Afa and Sika's father, but he could be the brother of their mother. Regardless, Peter Maivia is the uncle of Afa and Sika.
Afa's sons from WWE are Samu and Manu.
Sika's son from WWE is Rosey.
Yokozuna is the son of Afa and Sika's brother (Junior I think).
Umaga (aka Jamal), Rikishi (aka Fatu and Sultan), and Tama (aka Tonga Kid) are the sons of Afa and Sika's sister.
I think that covers all of the Samoans from WWE.

Isn't Deuce Snuka's adoptive son? Would that count as being second generation then?

Finlay (David Finlay's son) That's the only person I didn't think of from my list. If JBL's commentary is correct, Finlay is third generation, though I've been unsuccessful in the past in finding out much info on his father or grandfather. |

Yeah, they would be Irish or United Kingdom wrestlers. I would think that information would be harder to come across than the Americans.

Amazing that no one thought of this one:
Randy Savage and Lanny Poffo, sons of Angelo Poffo
Also, Luna Vachon daughter of Paul or is it Maurice?

Well yes but I didn't really count them as WWE anyway >.< I'll admit, for some reason I thought it said all Samoans in wrestling, but Sonny Siaki was in developmental for a while, so he counts. Hell, he teamed with Manu! (Before he was Manu, at least.) |

With the gimmicks each are using in WWE now, I think Orton & Priceless are the only ones that could easily fit together. I would never of imagined Afa jr of joining up, and it's interesting to see where they lead now. When I heard on here of them maybe forming a stable, I immediately thought of Priceless & Orton teaming together as 2nd gen but also because their bodies and appearance match a lot, even the aggressive styles they have. Manu is certainly agressive, yet, he's just rugged and seemed so cheap for him to join with Priceless so quickly. Recognising him on his own first would of been a better way to go imo,
I could imagine DH & Natalya somewhere down the line fitting aswell.
I'm impressed by the amount of second generation stars there actually is in WWE now, as each of their parents were well known performers back in the days of old.
Has their been a more impressive roster of 2nd generation in a promotion before?
