Will we see another kid outshine their father like the Rock did?

We all know the Rock's story so I won't get into it. Limiting this to National WWF days so the Funks, Hennig, Windham and DiBiase don't count :youngsabo:

DiBiase :shaq2:

Rhodes :snoop:

I seriously doubt it considering the level of stardom he got to is quite rare in and of itself.

I think you misunderstand, I'm not asking if the seed of a wrestler will be the next transcendant star. I'm saying look at where their pops got and do you think they will eclipse it. Will they be more charismatic, will they be better in the ring, will they have better mic skills etc.

Will they do something that makes you say :whoo: his dad didn't have that in him.

If you're limiting it to the WWF/E, then Cody has a good chance to pass Dusty's WWF run if they stop the start/stop pushing they do.... He won't be more charismatic than pops though.....

Ah, I thought you meant outshine to the same degree he did.

Randy Orton is a much bigger star than he Bob Orton was. :manny:

:obama: Good pick but I disagree. From a marketing standpoint he's a bigger star and from an accomplishment standpoint he's nothing to scoff at but nothing he's done has outshined the Cowboy. Dude had more spark in his pinky than RKO has in his whole body and cut a better promo, was a better character, better in the squared circle.

I'm limiting it to during/after the Rock n Wrestling Era, what Dusty did in JCP still counts

If they let Bray Wyatt go all out with his character he might surpass IRS.

:leon:

He's got great mic skills and can go in the ring. If he continues to cut weight, already reportedly down to 270, he can really make some noise.

This is one of them on the low Rock sucking threads and it's cheesy.

But the answer is no, because I don't think we`ll ever see another wrestler outshine the Rock on the grand stage. Rock isn't even the biggest wrestling star of all time, but he is the biggest star wrestling has ever produced.

Hogan & Austin > Rock, in the wrestling world

Rock trumps them all in the mainstream world of entertainment.
