The 4th Generation

[TheICChampion]

Simple question, tough answer. There are a lot of superstars in wrestling today that are the third generation of their families to be involved in the business. Off the top of my head I can think of Stephanie McMahon, Randy Orton, The Rock, Natalya, and Curtis Axel. Obviously I'm missing quite a few. As I don't watch much wrestling outside WWE, I don't know if there are any third generation athletes in any other company right now, which is the partly the reason why I put this under "General Wrestling Discussion". Now, on to my question:

Out of all the families that have had 3 generations in the business, which family will be the first to have a 4th generation? I'm thinking it will most likely be the McMahons, but then again, HHH is the one slated to be taking over the WWE when Vinnie Mac finally decides to retire or bites the dust, whichever comes first. What if none of HHH's kids want to take over? Or will they even have a choice? There are a lot of other options out there for the first 4th generation family in wrestling, and I'm interested to hear what you guys think. Will there ever even BE a 4th generation? If so, even though WWE is the most likely place for them to be, could they possibly decide to go somewhere else? What are your thoughts on this?

Shane McMahon is a 4th generation star given his grandfather Jess McMahon founded WWE before it became Vincent J. McMahon's and finally Vince McMahon himself.

They didn't wrestle, but the family has been in the business longer than any other in history.

This thread is perfectly timed..I was surfing the net looking for wrestling federations in Africa...Turns out Fit Finlay's son David Finlay is wrestling for African Wrestling Alliance in South Africa. Fit Finlay's son is a 4th generation wrestler. David Finlay was doing missionary work in South Africa when Fit Finlay found the AWA and got his son David signed up with them. Fit Finlay's dad was a wrestler as well as both of his grandfathers. I'll put the link below.
