I imagine most people are aware of Ric Flair being adopted. I've also read conflicting reports as to whether or not Slick was adopted or if he was Rufus R. Jones's biological son. Technically speaking, Vince McMahon had an abusive stepfather who may have legally adopted him, although that obviously faded away when he met his real father.
These are actually the only three wrestlers I know of who were or may have been adopted. I need to write about at least 15. So, anyone know of more?

Isn't Sim Snuka adopted by Jimmy? Though I've also seen it said he is Jimmy's birth son, but was illegitimate until adopted. Dunno.
Also, Ted DiBiase Sr. is adopted. His mother was a wrestler, and he was adopted by "Iron" Mike DiBiase.

I think that both Sim & Tamina Snuka were adopted by Jimmy Snuka.

Tanga Roa is Haku's biological son, but Tama Tonga is adopted.

Steve Austin (born Steve Anderson) took on his stepfather's last name (Williams) but I'm unclear if it was due to being adopted.
Joey Marella was Gorilla Monsoon's adopted son, not biological.

Katsuhiko Nakajima grew up without a dad and formed a strong father and son like relationship with Kensuke Sasaki and he is basically considered their third son by Kensuke and Akira Hokuto.

I just remembered Ken Shamrock, who maybe more accurately just wandered off on his family, but he did eventually get adopted because of it. Frank Shamrock had the same story a little later in life.

His mother was a wrestler, and he was adopted by "Iron" Mike DiBiase. He's not, it's a false rumor. Cliff Compton mentions in one of his AOW episodes that fans used to come up to him in the airport and ask if he's adopted and then refused to believe him when he told them no because they read it on Wikipedia. |

Okay, that makes sense, given he does kinda look like Jimmy. |
