Man Dwayne comes from old school wrestling royalty. It’s a different business now, but it’s not as far apart as you’d think.

It’s fair to say Cam has had a convincingly better career than Steve

Was coming to post this one as being a close race. Cam's dad is in the Vikes' ROH I believe. Cam has had an awesome career though.

Ken Norton Jr


I think Ken Norton was a better boxer than his son was a football player. Norton was one of the top heavyweights of his time. He fought Ali three times and beat him the first fight and lost the last two by decision. He should have won the 3rd fight. He was WBC Heavyweight Champion. He also fought Earnie Shavers, Larry Holmes, George Foreman, Jerry Quarry, and the other top heavyweights during his time.

He had a good run. Jr was a 3-time Super Bowl champ, 2-time all-pro, 3-time pro bowler, an an All American in college. Pretty good.
