Vince going to bat for DH Smith

[Steveweiser]

As noted a week ago, The Foundation is coming to the SmackDown roster with Natalya Neidhart, TJ Wilson and DH Smith.

The decision was made to bring them up after Vince McMahon was on a flight back home a few weeks ago after what he considered a bad set of WWE TV tapings. Vince was looking over the roster, which includes developmental talents, and saw Harry Smith's name. Vince ragged hard on the creative team about letting a "pedigree kid" sit on the sidelines, as Harry comes from the Hart family. Vince went on and on about how creative is letting young, good talent waste away or get jobbed out.

Vince said he wanted a debut storyline for Harry planned out as soon as possible. It was about then when they started pairing DH and TJ up again as a tag team down in Florida Championship Wrestling. It's now just a matter of time before we see the group on TV together.

Finally, Harry is going to be on TV.

His last stint was pretty bland, and his father was one of my favorites growing up.

Umm, if we're to believe that nothing happens on WWE TV without Vince's blessing. Then explain how Smith was brought up just to get the Wellness hammer and be made an example of, then jobbed out and not seen again. Now all of a sudden Vince just suddenly remembers he's around? Guy is losing it

[Crappler El 0 M]

I'd like to see them try again with Harry Smith, so I hope this is true.

[Cyno]

Now if only Vince would go to bat for Scotty Goldman, too.

Being done for Wellness can only be blamed on Smith, not Vince.

Bat away Vinnie Mac i've been waiting for a faction to come through but why have a faction when they have nobody to feud with?

True, but they knew he was on that crap months before. And instead of just suspending him in developmental they brought him up, and waited until they implemented the policy of naming suspended wrestlers, then they suspended him

Good news ;D

Have you seen the stuff he lets go on WWE TV?
He lost it a LONG time ago.
This is just classic Vince "get rid of him / why the hell did you get rid of him" behavior BUT I really want to see The Hart Foundation 2.0 in action, so I'll side with his senility.

That last little bit pisses me off.

For a start, Vince didn't violate wellness, Smith did. Secondly, Vince in a busy man with alot of people floating around his world trying to get TV time. Hows he suppose to remember everything? Thats why they have storyline writers, talent managers and producers. Hence the story says, he was looking over the roster...


Just looking up this TJWilson dude, this caught my eye: He has dated Nattie Neidhart since November 2001.

Weird really, I know hes not a blood hart, and neither is Neidhart, but it still seems abit incestuous.

[vanboxmeer]

Vince McMahon only concentrates on the top-level main event storylines where he makes most of his money, he lets the writers and agents worry about everything else.

[Deleted]

The hell? Did someone spike the higher-ups' drinking supply lately? What's with them deciding to push young, skilled talent as opposed to people who are already way over or will never get a crowd reaction?

Natalya is a Hart. Her mom is the daughter of Stu and Helen Hart and the sister to Bret, Owen, and many many more.
TJ has been with the Hart family for years. Even in Bret's book he said TJ was an honorary Hart. I guess he's like the Brian Pillman of the Hart Foundation of 1997.

[moneyman]

Considering VInce brought him up solely to wellness him and embarass him (though he slightly deserved it), I think he owes him this much and Vince knows it.

[Turd Ferguson]

They should apprentice him to Goldust so he can learn how to be like his father....BIZZAAAAAAARRRE

[Garee]

I don't know how much of that is true, but I would like to see them on TV

The Colons and Bellas. 8 person intergenger tag with Victoria on the Foundation's sides.

I laughed at the part where it claims Vince was upset about holding the young talent back. He's the guy that always lets Undertaker win his feuds with the younger talent.

[Widow's Peak]

Vince went on and on about how creative is letting young, good talent waste away or get jobbed out.

Considering the time of year it is, does anyone else get the feeling that Vince was recently visited by three ghosts?
