Wrestling families that weren’t actually related – He’s not heavy, he’s my brother. That’s what family is all about. It doesn’t matter what your sibling, parent or even cousin has done to you in the past, you find it in you to forgive and forget. In the world of wrestling, “family” can actually be quite a loose term.

It is supposed to mean that you’re related, and are blood relatives. But a number of “families” in wrestling actually didn’t have any family lineage, and were falsely aligned with one another. Brothers aren’t necessarily brothers, sisters aren’t necessarily sisters and cousins are not necessarily cousins.
In wrestling a team like Edge and Christian could be billed as “brothers” only to simply be called “close friends” later on in their career. Were they ever brothers? No, but in wrestling as long as you stand by your pretend brother, sister or father then fans will support the idea. A number of these families not only had no relation to one another, but continued competing as family members and still use the same last name. While some of these families are fairly obvious, some may in fact surprise as wrestlers who didn’t make a big deal of their family association with one another weren’t related at all. One of them is among the greatest families in wrestling history, yet one “relative” isn’t a member at all. Here are 10 Wrestling “Families” That Weren’t Really Related.
10. The Hollys
They were supposed to be hardcore, but in actuality the wrestlers that were hardcore on screen weren’t really hardcore, or related, off screen. During the influx of extreme competition that took place in the WWE’s Attitude Era, three different wrestlers were put together to get the idea across that blood was thicker than water. But the problem with Hardcore Holly, Crash Holly and Molly Holly was that these cousins weren’t connected by blood, but only the distinction of having blond hair at the time. While families have a tendency to bicker, the Hollys treated each other like strangers at times, as the team didn’t last too long and were split from one another. They continued to compete for the WWE, but did so individually while still using the Holly name. At one point, Molly went under the gimmick Mighty Molly and wasn’t advertised as a Holly.
