The tribute to the late Mohammed Yakub reveals he had sixteen children. Is this a record? Have any other wrestlers equalled this or even come close?

Mohammed definitely wins the prize for known and acknowledged children
Roy "Mr. Big" Parks had seven children.
I think that the real answer to this is unknown. Without wishing to cast too much doubt on the morals of the wrestlers there is always the possibility of unplanned pregnancy arising from illicit encounters round the back of the town hall.
Romany Riley used to arrive with a whole swarm of noisy children. If they were all his, he can double Pete Curry's tally.
Nearest one I can think of anywhere is Stu Hart’s 12. In UK terms, Pat/Pete Curry had five.
