Friday Five: Father's Day PLUS a Danielson Note

Before I get to the Friday Five, Bryan Danielson will be making his Chikara Pro return, per his Twitter. The good news is, he's back in Chikara for at least one date. The bad news, well, for me at least? It's at We Must Eat Michigan's Brain in Taylor, MI, not Chikarasaurus Rex: King of Show at The Arena (although the latter hasn't been ruled out yet and I'm still hopeful... I'M STILL HOPEFUL). Who's he wrestling though? Well, I just checked the card, and missing from the lineup was the Green Ant/Darkness Crabtree match. Plus, via Chikara's Facebook, apparently, Crabtree tweaked his hip at the nursing home, so if I were a betting man, I'd say that Green Ant, who's one of my top wrestlers in Chikara for the first half of the year, is going to be wrestling the American Dragon. So I guess that We Must eat Michigan's Brain just became a priority DVD to buy, right?

Aaaanyway, back to the FF, this weekend is Fathers' Day Weekend, so in honor of that day, a set of questions about wrestling father/son combos!

1. Do you think that Dustin Rhodes would have eventually gotten over in the WWF had he not donned the Goldust paint?

2. Best second generation WWF/E wrestler ever: The Rock, Randy Savage, Curt Hennig or other?

3. Which second/third-generation wrestler did the most to differentiate himself from his father's shadow?

4. Do you think more sons of wrestlers, if they stay in combat sports, will turn to MMA as a career like Roddy Piper's kid is rather than get into pro wrestling?

5. Of the current crop of WWE second/third generation superstars, excepting Randy Orton (who has already surpassed his father), who has the best potential to leave a legacy that is comparable or better than that of his father?


Remember you can contact TH and ask him questions about wrestling, life or anything else. Please refer to this post for contact information. He always takes questions!
