Would never have had a place in wrestling without his uncle, plus we all know he was on the take so probably scammed his way to power.

LCJ Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I never said Eric owned WCW. I’m fully aware of the fact that Ted Turner owned it and Bischoff applied for the job to run it, and got it. My point was that not all major wrestling promotions were run the same way in the last 40 years by “nepo babies”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He always has to answer to a higher up. TK has no-one to answer to, and if he does it's his dad. Therfore he is a nepo baby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just pointed out that not all major promotions have been run under the same circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 As far as I know, Paul Heyman wasn't from wealth, and he ran/owned ECW (badly) for most of a decade. Jeff Jarrett I guess you could say was a nepo baby (hate that term) but he put his own money into TNA alongside his father. Rob Feinstein was a nepo something but not from a rich background, and he founded and ran ROH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nepios in Ancient Greek means "baby" so you're all saying "baby baby" effectively. Triggers the etymology nonce in me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latin? Latino World Order. Were a faction on Nitro... which was a weekly pro wrestling series. Series. Survivor Series. Who was in the lWo? El Dandy. Who are you to doubt El Dandy? Bret Hart didn't. He was nicknamed "El Dandy" because of his success with women. You know who else has had success with women? Apart from Bret Hart? CM PUNK. CM Punk confirmed to be returning at Survivor Series. The signs are there, lads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
