I'm sure it counted for something. Orton did have his own skill set but he hardly set the world on fire and unless there's some bout of Orton mania set to come, he will hardly be remembered as one of the greats.
David Flair was given major pushes in both WCW and WWE programming but it turned out the guy had absolutely no shred of talent.
I know nothing about Sammartino's kid so can't comment.
But I doubt Cody Rhodes, Goldust, Curtis Axel, Natalya and Tamina Snuka would have amounted to much had it not been for the families they were born into. It's a bit like legacy admissions at Harvard or the old boys network at Cambridge.
Even Dwayne milked his wrestling heritage to the max as reflected in his stage name.
There's no truly decent talent left in the WWE anymore.
