Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted January 13, 2011 Moderators Share Posted January 13, 2011 I have just come up with a theory.. Â I think out of all the real life brothers in wrestling, most times the younger brother is the better wrestler. Â I haven't really tested the theory beyond thinking that Jeff Hardy is clearly better than Matt Hardy, and Scott Steiner is clearly better than Rick Steiner. Â Who else is there tha either proves or disproves this? Â Over to y'all.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.P. Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Bret Hart wasn't the youngest but he was the best and most successful Hart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happ Hazzard Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 David Von Erich (and arguably Kerry) were better than Kevin. Brad Armstrong was better than Scott. (and arguably Brian was better than all the other brothers). Jacques Rougeau better than Raymond.  One that is arguable: Animal and Johnny Ace  Some cases which disprove it: Randy Savage and Lanny Poffo Bob Orton and Barry O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted January 13, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted January 13, 2011 Brian was the best Armstrong. Reid MUST be the better Flair. Umaga better than Rikishi? Â In contrast: Â Jake Roberts and Sam Houston Goldust and Cody Rhodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejeffjarrettone Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Not disagreeing for the sake of it, but I always preferred Rick Steiner over Scott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happ Hazzard Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 How does it carry over to MMA?  Younger brother better:  Frank Shamrock better than Ken Clay Guida better than Jason Mauricio Rua better than Murilo   Elder brother better:  Big Nog better than Little Nog Fedor Emelianenko better than Aleksander Joe Lauzon better than Dan  Diaz brothers about equal IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted January 13, 2011 Author Moderators Share Posted January 13, 2011 Cody Rhodes is still pretty new to the game, so I think it may be a bit unfair to judge on that one.. But I guess as it stands now, you're right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Guvnor Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Big Nog better than Little Nog  It'll be interesting to see how their other 'brother', Nig, gets on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny McBride Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 The Funks is a close one, but I think Terry probably edges it on versatility and longevity. Having said that, longevity wasn't always kind to Terry in his later years. Dory is the older brother, for those who don't know. Â I wonder who's older out of Ron and Don Harris, or Kent and Keith Kole? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snitsky's back acne Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Big Nog better than Little Nog  It'll be interesting to see how their other 'brother', Nig, gets on.  Or Egg.  Sorry..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dopper Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Jack Brisco was more successful than younger brother Gerry. Â I haven't seen much of their stuff since 2006, so who is the better Briscoe brother? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted January 13, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted January 13, 2011 Frank Shamrock better than Ken Can we count these two? Although they're not 'kayfabed' brothers, they are adopted brothers and not blood related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snitsky's back acne Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Expanding this a bit then, what about fathers/sons, mothers/daughters, fathers/daughters, mothers/sons, sisters etc. Â As an example, I am still undecided whether Saraya is better than Brittani or vice versa. Â Ted DiBiase Sr was better than Jr currently is, but Jr's still very new into his career. Â I think it's safe to say Kerry was light years ahead of Lacey Von Erich.
