He was born on Augand his birthplace is Providence, RI. However, as you do not remember him as “the greatest second generation star of all time”, it clearly did not work out as planned for WCW.Spike Dudley is a famous Wrestler. He was almost immediately placed in some huge angles, with top stars like Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash and of course Ric Flair to help get him over as one of the future stars of pro wrestling. He signed for WCW in 1999 and made his debut with the company soon after. Paired with Stacey Keibler on TV, he was pushed well on Nitro, although never showed the promise that his father did. As his father was noted as the greatest of all time, he had all the world of expectations on his shoulders. The Nature Boy’s son was brought into the company as somewhat of a prodigy. Ric Flair vs David FlairĪnother instance of a father wrestling his son took place in World Championship Wrestling, when the legendary Ric Flair wrestled against David Flair. Vince also wrestled Stephanie McMahon a week before he wedding in a hardcore match, although that is not as widely received as this one. This is, by far, the best father-son match of all time (so far). Then, he locked in the Mr Socko submission move, and helped Shane McMahon win the match against his father. He called it right down the middle, until he was attacked by Vince. Mick Foley was also on hand, being the special guest referee for the bout. Ironically, the pop of the night didn’t come from the wrestling, but from Linda standing up from her wheelchair (she had been drugged by Vince so he could have sex with Trish Stratus) and kicking her husband square in the testicles. Including both Stephanie and Linda McMahon, it had all the trappings of a fantastic family drama. Vince McMahon wrestled Shane McMahon in a hardcore match at WrestleMania X7 – rated as the best WrestleMania of all time – in what turned out to be one of the best matches of all time. Shane McMahon had just completed the purchase of WCW, going over his father’s head to keep the Monday Night Wars going. The bout came at the mid point of a feud between father and son. While there had been fathers appearing with sons at WrestleMania prior to this match (Bruno Sammartino managing his son David at WrestleMania 1 springs to mind), we had never seen a match between the pair on the biggest stage in WWE. This list will be added to once Rey Mysterio fights Dominik Mysterio at WrestleMania 39, hopefully right at the top. In this article, we’ll walk you through the best matches that have seen fathers wrestling sons in both the WWE and WCW. However, there have been a select few matches that pitted father against son in both the WWE and WCW. Many parents refuse to step into the ring and hurt their children, which is a fair thing. This is for many reasons, but mainly that the careers of the two rarely intersect.ĭuos like Dusty Rhodes and Cody Rhodes have wrestled at the same time, but alongside one another, as opposed to on opposite sides. While brother vs brother matches have happened many times over the years, a much rarer stipulation is the father vs son match. WrestleMania 39 is coming up, and it features a very special match type that isn’t often seen in the WWE.
