Best parent and child combination

[Grimmas]

So many good options. Who you got?

[goc]

Bob Armstrong & Brad Armstrong

[Grimmas]

I think Super Porky and Maximo Sexy, but it might be Ric and Charlotte.

[Hawkeye12]

Since it's only one child, I'll go with Dusty and Dustin since I genuinely was a fan of both and each achieved success at a really high level even if Dustin never was World champion.

[Matt D]

[Microstatistics]

Negro Navarro and the Traumas

[The Thread Killer]

Bill and Erik Watts.

[gordi]

Stu and Bret

[elliott]

If only we had some Pepe Casas footage. Even if he was a terrible wrestler, his sons (Negro Casas, Heavy Metal, El Felino) are/were so great it almost doesn't even matter.

 

Verne and Greg Gagne came to mind as well. Verne of course being a total legend and Greg is one of the most underrated wrestlers ever if you listen to the narrative surrounding him instead of actually watching the dude work.

[PhilTLL]

Eventually it will be the Flairs, for now I'm inclined to go with the Rhodes, if I knew more about Stu or Dory Sr. it might be those families.

[joeg]

Dory Sr, Dory Jr, & Terry Funk

 

El Santo & El hijo del Santo

[Matt D]

Bob Orton, Sr./Jr. Have to be up there too. Shame we don't have more of Sr. I mean, same with Warren/Nick Bockwinkel. Or Gory Guerrero/Pick a Kid.

 

Really, though. The answer has to be Johnny/Greg Valentine, right? No one listed here feels all that close in ring from the footage we have.

[Tim Evans]

Jerry Lawler and Brian Christopher. It's a shame we don't have much Tommy Gilbert footage cause him and Eddie Gilbert could be up there. Also Carlos Colon and Eddie "Primo" Colon.

[El-P]

Gran Apache & his daughters Mari & Fabi. A cool bunch.

 

Gran Hamada & his daughter Ayako. What's better than this ?

[WingedEagle]

Definitely a Dusty & Dustin guy for now. If I'd seen any Dory Sr. that would seem like a possibility. Curious to see if Charlotte can make this an argument. Certainly has the potential and trajectory.

[Dooley]

Blackjack Mulligan and Barry Windham deserve a mention.

[ChuckScumm]

Tugboat & Chaz Taylor.

[Cap]

I'd go Dusty/Dustin right now.

 

Others considered

Johnny/Greg Valentine (just haven't seen enough of the old footage personally)

Ric/Charlotte Flair (needs time to sort it out)

Gory/Eddie Guerrero (Haven't seen a ton of Gory, but Eddie is a personal favorite)

Blackjack Bulligan/Barry Windham

[NintendoLogic]

Do in-laws count? If so, Verne Gagne and Larry Zbyszko are worthy of consideration.

[Cornette's racket]

I'd agree with dusty and Dustin. I mean what Dustin did when given the goldust character I still marvel at. He made it a memorable character.

 

Also would Verne and Greg gagne be in the mix. I realise that Verne would be doing the heavy lifting there.

[ohtani's jacket]

Ray Mendoza and Villanos II, IV and V. Mendoza looks like a beast in the match we have against Fujinami.

 

Perro Aguayo and Perro Aguayo Jr.

Fuerza Guerrera and Juventud Guerrera (at least in the mid-90s)

Alfonso Dantes and Apolo and Cesar Dantes

Joe Blanchard and Tully Blanchard

Warren Bockwinkel and Nick Bockwinkel

Gino Garibaldi and Leo Garibaldi

Dory Funk Sr. and Dory Jr. and Terry Funk

Dr. Wagner Sr. and Dr. Wagner Jr. and Silver King

Chavo Guerrero Sr. and Chavo Guerrero Jr.

Fritz Von Erich and his kids

Francis St. Clair Gregory and Tony and Roy St. Clair

Roy "Bull" Davis and Skull Murphy (UK version)

Jim Hussey and Mark Rocco

Billy Riley and Ernie Riley

[GOTNW]

 

Perro Aguayo and Perro Aguayo Jr.

That's it. I don't think anyone else comes close for me.

 

 

 

Since we're naming names-Shinya & Daichi Hashimoto and Rikidozan & Mitsuo Momota are also good shouts.

[EricR]

I probably get most entertained by Bill and Jamie Dundee.

[puropotsy]

Chavo Guerrero Sr. and Jr.

Miguel Perez Sr. and Jr.

Carlos Colon and sons

[Al]

Dory Funk Sr. gives me the impression of Terry and Dory Jr.'s love child, and I mean that in the nicest way. Dory's look and Terry's personality. I suspect he could go in the ring, but we've only got eight minutes of footage to back that up.

 

Best one not yet mentioned: Rocky and Dwayne Johnson. The younger Rock is an all time great. His dad is a fringe Hall of Fame candidate in his own right.

 

Edit: One more, Tony and Matt Borne. Matt was very good. I've never heard anyone talk of him in higher esteem than Tony.
