Diana Hart Smith, the outspoken mother of Harry Smith (a/k/a David Hart
Smith), continues to criticize WWE brass following his recent departure
from the organization. She attributes his lack of success to company
heads having it in for her son.
"I don't think WWE wanted to see
DH/Harry succeed there. Maybe (Davey Boy Smith) had ribbed an existing
agent who took it out on Harry," she wrote on Twitter. "Not sure of the
WWE Creative's logic, but they didn't want fans to see how exceptional
Harry is."
The third generation wrestler echoed similar sentiments during a recent interview with Live Audio Wrestling.
"The
big complaint that I had with WWE was just that they never gave me a
fair chance, ever. We had a good deal with the tag team title run and
everything, but guys like Drew McIntyre and Sheamus, they're obviously
very good talents and big guys and everything, but if they had given me
the rocket like they had given those two guys, I'm sure that with my
family's lineage and going over to Canada and the UK, they could have
done some really good business. For whatever reason, they didn't," Harry
said.
"I'm not gonna point any fingers at anybody, but I think
that there's people up there that probably didn't like my family, or
maybe my Dad ribbed too many of the guys that are up top now. That's
basically the way that it happened, and I'm glad to be gone really. I
don't want to be wasting my time at a place that doesn't appreciate me,
or doesn't want to do anything with me."
Harry is now training
mixed martial arts full-time in Tampa, Florida and looking to make his
debut next year. He spars extensively with Josh Barnett, a former UFC
Heavyweight Championship. Diana feels they are an unstoppable force. She
tweeted, "I think Harry and Josh training would be comparable to the
power of a tsunami and genius of rocket scientists, who don't know 'tap
out' definition."
