Wes Brisco has nothing but a last name, but got a WWE deal, Impact push and even a New Japan appearance.

That’s a big reason why I think he’s Wrestling’s Ultimate Nepo Baby: stories like that make him sound like a huge spoiled brat. I'm gonna have to look this dude up. He sounds ridiculous. He was recently inducted into WrestleCrap: www.wrestlecrap.com/inductions/george-gulas/

That said, Brisco got way more chances than he should've because of his last name. I still remember him wrestling multiple times during one episode of Paragon Pro. It was sheer hell and I still feel sorry for Caleb Konley having to put him over that many times.

I've just remembered Garrett Bischoff was a thing. Not sure if he was ever truly pushed that hard though.

Had several faces shilling for him and was a focus of TNA's main storyline at the time, but not even Kid Kash trashing the Hart family up in Canada could get people to cheer for ol' Carrot.

Leona Fujinami. The painfully boring, mediocre and unimpressive son of the legendary Tatsumi Fujinami. Has a job for life thanks to his dad’s name value and own promotion, but there is a reason you’ve never seen him pop up in any of the major feds for longer than a few cups of coffee in NOAH and All Japan, again thanks to his dad, almost always teaming with him. He’s just not very good unfortunately.

1. Not at all what I pictured in my head when reading those stories 2. Those are some of the worst goddam "punches" I have ever seen. Good lord.

Just to add to David Flair. From everything I read, Ric actually advocated against pushing him, but it was Russo and his love for Jerry Springer type of storylines which led to his involvement.

It’s a dead heat between him and Shane McMahon for the Worst Punches In Professional Wrestling History. Shane couldn’t connect with his, but at least they looked like punches. George’s are more like clubbing blows.

Looking at Gulas multiple title reigns, god's sake, Nick flat out refused to accept that his son wasn't going to be a star

Looking at Gulas multiple title reigns, god's sake, Nick flat out refused to accept that his son wasn't going to be a star All tag-related, at that. People were stuck trying to prop up that broom. Plus the absolute nerve trying to shoehorn him into Jerry Jarrett's shows.

Plus the absolute nerve trying to shoehorn him into Jerry Jarrett's shows. Poor Bobby Eaton being one that had to prop him up. Nick also did himself no favors by selling Jarrett a piece of the office and then saying it was only an option that had expired once Jarrett refused to book George. Guy crashed his own territory because he couldn’t accept his son as anything less than a top star.

That TNA run attempt was... not good.
Thankfully Kevin's sons Marshall and Ross actually seem like they can stick around and be great workers.

Let’s not forget Brooke Higan falling flat on her ass on tv. Her only memorable moment.
