I have a theory on this.

I think it may have something to do with the lack of really talented young stars who can draw like the stars of yesteryear. By using the children/relatives of other established stars, the youngsters are already ahead in the game of popularity just by fact of name recognition.

Also, the newer talents from wrestling families are generally more talented at the onset of their careers than someone who has no family background in wrestling. By using these stars, less time has to be spent developing their talents in the indies and they can be moved up sooner, rather than later, as they already have a great deal more knowledge of the business than even alot of the people who have been in the game for years.

It makes complete sense, when you think about it. Think about it like this, using Teddy Hart as an example. When he moves up to the WWE, he will get HUGE pops simply because of who he is. The WWE will not have to spend years building his rep up through gimmicks and filler matches; he will automatically have a fan base and drawing power. It is a win-win for the wrestler and McMahon; the wrestler gets fame from the get-go instead of ahving to work his ass off to earn it, and McMahon gets a star who can draw with little-to-no investment beforehand.
