5 WWE Superstars with remarkable family members

Who has a connection to this arm wreslting world champion?

Some of WWE’s superstars are the children of former WWE performers or are married to fellow superstars. Others have relatives who work in very normal careers or at the very least have done nothing to get headlines in their particular fields.

Then there are those WWE superstars with interesting connections, both within the world of wrestling and in other industries, like mainstream sports and even obscure sports. Here are five such superstars and their noteworthy relatives.

Chris Jericho

Chris Jericho’s father may have been more well-known that his son in some circles.

Chris Jericho is known all over the world as a decorated professional wrestler in Japan, WCW and the WWE, as he won multiple titles and collected the Intercontinental Championship a record nine times. He’s also the lead singer of the rock and roll band Fozzy.

Since his family’s Canadian, though, his father’s claim to fame may actually carry more weight. Ted Irvine was a pro hockey player and even played for the NHL’s New York Rangers, scoring a career-high 26 goals in the 1973-74 season. Not bad for the “Ayatollah of Rock and Rollah’s” dad.
