10 Superstars WWE Completely Wasted

On paper, Harry "DH" Smith seemed to have it all - he was young, talented, tall, and the son of one of WWE's all-time most beloved superstars, The British Bulldog. He was signed to a contract at age 20, and the following year, he debuted on Raw. After failing a drug test, though, Smith was relegated to Heat, then sent back to development. Finally, in 2009, he joined longtime friend and partner Tyson Kidd on ECW, forming The Hart Dynasty with manager Natalya.

The Hart Dynasty captured the WWE Tag Team Championship in 2010, but when they lost the belts and split up, it was Smith who suffered. He ended up competing primarily on Superstars, and was released in 2011.

The next year, Smith arrived in New Japan Pro Wrestling, teaming with former WWE superstar Vance Archer as the Killer Elite Squad. The two have been a successful tandem, but it's still baffling that WWE did so little with the son of Davey Boy Smith and the scion of the Hart family.
