how is charlotte and tessa not on this list? triple h's resume was definitely inflated by marrying steph but he was a star regardless and quite frankly I salute how he finessed his way to the executive position hes in these days

charlotte is a 10 time champion in a span of 4 years despite not being over and tessa is one of the biggest pieces of shyt today and still has the indy scene in the palm of her hand

Triple H did it bigger and better but Erik Watts was the least talented over pushed guy he literally only trained for 3 months and was hired by WCW where Bill Watts was booking and was given a win streak and having time limit draws against Rick Rude.

This nikka, the man with the world's worst dropkick ^^^:smh:

He would also have a history of mysteriously falling down the card whenever his father was let go and following his dad to whatever promotion hired him.

The thing I always found hilarious about this dropkick was, if dude had trained long enough to at least understand wrestling to the point of having any improv skills... he coulda leaned in to the coming contact instead of breaking back committing to the idea of a dropkick, and.. I mean. At that point, Eric Watts throws pro-wrestling's first V-trigger, right? He was too close to throw the dropkick timing-wise, but man, if he'd just thrown what he could like he meant it and come down from it with confidence, we wouldn't be mocking it nearly as bad, possibly at all.

HHH can actually wrestle. Cut promos. Yet Eric Watts who can’t even do a drop kick has no votes. Nia Jax has zero wrestling ability, has no classic matches and her best match a green Ronda carried her.

Shawn Michaels was Vince homosexual lover so I don't know if that counts.
Lies. So all the classic matches he had don’t count? @2 Cold Taurus you see why the best wrestler contest is going to be based on emotion when you see this idiot make posts for daps. You know it won’t be based on facts and abilities.

1. Tessa is legitimately good and hasn’t accomplished anything in non quasi indie feds that have any real relevance, so it’s hard to say she’s a beneficiary of nepotism. WWE and AEW don’t want her.

2. Charlotte is a good wrestler. While her talents aren’t as strong as her push, she’d still be an upper echelon performer in the women’s division despite her last name. 10x champion? Probably not, but she would be up there. The difference between her and someone like Triple H is that she hasn’t used her pull to get in the office and run things yet, which is why I kept her off the list.

I voted for Watts, anyone who was watching back then knows how bad he was. He's the poster boy for nepotism in wrestling, IMO.

Stephanie is a close second, I believe her daddy made her Head of Creative right out of college when she had no business being in that position and what a disaster that turned out to be. HHH benefited greatly from that blunder as well.
