Gnerational wrestling families

1.The McMahons

Vince McMahon convinced his father to sell in the WWF and took the promotion and made it into one of the greatest and most successful businesses of all time.

And remember, this is wrestling.

McMahon and his family have also gotten in the ring to shake things up, held wrestling titles and provided enough drama to give Days of Our Lives a run for its money.

McMahon's fertile mind also brought us WrestleMania, characters like the Undertaker and Stone Cold Steve Austin and made wrestling mainstream.

And just think, Triple H married into the brood, which was a smart move.

Think of what would have happened had he not signed Hulk Hogan away from the AWA and made him the WWF Champion? We may have seen Jimmy Snuka as our savior.

2.The Anoaʻi Family

Pay attention, we are keeping score. No family from American Samoa has made as much of an impact on professional wrestling as the Anoa'i's.

Afa and Sika became wrestlers, forming the tag team the Wild Samoans. Afa had three sons who all got into the business. Samula (best known as Samu), Afa Jr. (known as Manu) and Lloyd (best known as L.A. Smooth).

Sika's older son Matt Anoa'i wrestled under the name Ro'Z and Rosey. He teamed with Shane Helms (Hurricane) to form a fun cartoonish tag team in the WWE.

Part of the Anoa'i family also included Fatu (known as Tama and Tonga Kid), Solofa Fatu Jr. (as Fatu, Rikishi Phatu and Junior Fatu) and Eddie Fatu (known as Jamal and Umaga). Umaga died  in 2009.

Rikishi's family is still alive and well and going strong in the WWE. Two of his sons, Jonathan and Joshua, are now wrestlers as Jimmy and Jey Uso.

And let's not forget Yokozuna, who was also a member of the family and one of the biggest wrestlers of all time.

Now that you have caught your breath, the American Samoa connection to wrestling has always been treated with great respect as the culture and the importance of the these wrestler's heritage has always been a huge part of wrestling promotions across the globe.

3.The Guerreros

Maybe the most famous Mexican wrestling family in wrestling history, three generations of the Guerrero led by Gory Guerrero have wrestled world wide and on American soil.

The family is so popular and has been so instrumental in the business that the Guerreros can claim to have been in almost every major wrestling promotion ever founded, including the WWE, WCW, Extreme Championship Wrestling, the National Wrestling Alliance, New Japan Pro Wrestling, All Japan Pro Wrestling, Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre and TNA Wrestling.

While the Guerrreros have been immensely popular, maybe no one wrestler has exemplified the Lucha Libre style of wrestling more than the late Eddie Guerrero.

Gory's main claim to the business is producing six children who all have had an impact on the business.

Chavo Guerrero, Sr. is the oldest of the Guerrero boys, who made his debut in 1974 and was active until he was released by the WWE. Chavo Guerrero, Jr. is Chavo's son, made his debut in 1994 as the first third generation Guerrero to be a professional wrestler. He is currently in TNA Impact Wrestling.

Mando Guerrero is the second oldest who also started in pro wrestling in 1974, worked mainly in California and with the American Wrestling Association.

Héctor Guerrero started in pro wrestling in 1977 and is now working as on the Spanish announce team for TNA Wrestling.

Eddie Guerrero was the youngest Guerrero brother by 13 years but also the most well known. He died in 2005. His wife Vickie is currently on Raw and has served as general manger of the WWE on both Raw and Smackdown. 

Their daughter, Shaul made her debut in 2010 as the second third generation Guerrero to be a professional wrestler.

Emmanuel Adebayor's team showed off his expensive fleet of cars in a video An account associated with the player posted the video as 'Monday motivation'

                                                                                      Emmanuel Adebayor has risked the wrath of the public after his team posted a video showing off his fleet of expensive cars as 'motivation' – days after the player defended his decision to donate money to help fight the coronavirus.

The Instagram account named 'Team_Adebayor' posted the video in the hope of inspiring others that they may be able to achieve what the former Tottenham and Manchester City star has in his life.

Starting with a customised Rolls Royce, the video shows off eight more expensive vehicles, including four Mercedes Benz, two Porsches, a BMW and Range Rover.The caption read: '#MondayMotivation This video is not a message to tell you 'SEA has made it', but rather to say 'You can do it too!' All you need to do is believing in yourself and keep working even when no one is watching. Tag a friend who needs to see this.'

Adebayor, who is currently isolating in his native Togo, refused to give money to help battle the deadly virus before expressing his desire to be able to do as he pleases with his wealth.

The 36-year-old was earning as much as £175,000 a week while at the Etihad Stadium and has amassed millions across the span of his professional career.  

But, while currently isolating back in Togo's capital of Lome, Adebayor doubled down on his no donation stance as the former captain of the national team dismissed the notion of responsibility on his shoulders to use his money to help against COVID-19. The country, at the time of writing, has 124 confirmed COVID-19 cases and nine people have died from the virus. 

Across the entire continent, the health care systems are not as strong as the ones in the UK or USA and Simon Antara, of the African Field Epidemiology Network, explained: 'We are preparing for disaster.' 

Philippe Coutinho is set to be given a chance to save his Barcelona career Spanish giants want to recall loan stars to help them cope amid financial crisis Liverpool will receive £17.5m if Coutinho plays 24 more times for Barcelona

                                                                                           BARCA want to bring back their loaned players this summer to help them with their looming financial crisis but Philippe Coutinho is among them, and if he plays another season for the Catalan side, Liverpool will be €20million  (£17.5m) richer.

The deal that took the Brazilian forward to Spain from Anfield was for an initial fee of €120m (£105m) but among the add-ons was a payment of a further €20m (£17.5m) once Coutinho had played 100 games for his new club. He is currently on 76 and if he returns and plays Barca will owe Liverpool more money.

Barcelona coach Quique Setien is in favour of recalling Coutinho who he believes can get back to his best. Barcelona will decide whether or not to keep him based on offers on the table for the 27-year-old, Other loanees set to return at the end of the season include right-back Moussa Wague who returns from Nice after the closure of the French league.

Cristiano Ronaldo and his family were accompanied by a huge convoy of cars They flew into Turin on Monday evening after being delayed in Spain on Sunday

                                                                                    Cristiano Ronaldo finally made it back to Turin with a convoy of cars in tow, but will spend 14 days in quarantine before he can join up with his Juventus team-mates for training. 

The forward was accompanied by members of his family and a huge security presence on Monday evening as he made his much awaited return to Italy.

The Portuguese star had planned to return a day earlier but his £30million private jet was unable to take off in Spain due travel restrictions put in place because of coronavirus.  But he and his family were finally able to board the G650 Gulfstream  in Madeira before enjoying a direct flight back to Turin.

Liverpool are concerned about impact of coronavirus crisis on transfer plans Timo Werner is a target but Reds are cautious about spending significant sum

                                                                                              The Reds want to see how the next few weeks develop to gain a better sense of how the transfer market will take shape from the impact of the coronavirus crisis. 

They remain interested in the German international, who has a release clause of £52 million, but have pleaded for more time to assess their options, according to the Guardian. Before the pandemic put a halt to all football across Europe, Werner seemed destined for the exit door. 

And there remains a high chance that he will leave this summer with Anfield his preferred destination. 

Attention now turns to the government meeting scheduled for this Wednesday Angela Merkel and state premiers will decide whether football can resume

                                                                                               On Monday morning, the Bundesliga waited with bated breath for news out of Cologne. When it came, German football breathed a collective sigh of relief.

At the end of last week, three Cologne staff members had tested positive for the coronavirus, throwing the league's plans to restart later this month into doubt and prompting one of their team mates to sound the alarm.

On Monday, the club announced that a second round of tests had revealed no further cases. Any other result may well have buried the Bundesliga's restart plans for the foreseeable future.Attention will now turn instead to Wednesday, when Angela Merkel and Germany's regional state premiers meet once again to discuss the country's lockdown measures. 

Having kicked the football can down the road in last week's meeting, the politicians are expected to make a final decision on the Bundesliga this time around.

Yet even if Merkel and Co give football their blessing, there may yet be trouble ahead. The Cologne saga, while not upturning the apple cart completely, has left a sour taste which could linger for a while.
