10 Second Generation WWE Stars Who Totally Failed (6)

6. Scott Putski

Father: Ivan Putski
When your dad is a WWE Hall of Famer you have big shoes to fill. That’s just the way it is. Scott’s dad Ivan wasn’t just any WWE HOFer, though. He was inducted back in 1995, which was before WWE started caring about the HOF again in 2004. Remember that from 1997 to 2003 there were no Hall of Fame inductees. The point is that Ivan was so highly respected that WWE inducted him with some of the biggest names in the business from the pre-WrestleMania years.
Scott had a very brief run in WWE in 1997 at a time when WWE’s roster was really thin, so they were looking for young talent. He started in May 1997, was put into a feud with Jerry Lawler’s son Brian Christopher (a guy that nearly made this list) and hurt his knee really bad during their match at the September PPV that year. He was gone from WWE soon after.
He was a guy that was really ripped when he showed up in WWE, but when it was time to perform he just lacked the things that made his father special.
