10 WWE Wrestlers Who Weren't Given Enough Chances

7. Harry Smith

On paper, Harry Smith has so much of what Vince McMahon looks for in a wrestler.

6'6" tall, 265 lbs of muscle, third generation, and a technical, legit badass between the ropes, Smith should be a huge star in a major wrestling company.

Right now, Harry is competing under the Davey Boy Smith Jr. name for Court Bauer's Major League Wrestling. And while MLW is a great promotion that puts on a good product, it's criminal that the son of the the legendary British Bulldog and Diana Hart isn't cracking skulls and tying opponents in knots in WWE or AEW.

Harry was contracted to WWE between 2006 and 2011, yet the company never really gave him a shot at breaking out as a singles act. Of course, a Wellness violation early into his main roster run didn't help matters in that sense, but it's not like such suspensions have stopped other stars from going on to the main event picture and countless world championships.

For the majority of Smith's main roster run, he was a part of The Hart Dynasty alongside Tyson Kidd and Natalya. That group was a brilliant trio, and Smith and Kidd were a phenomenal tag tandem. Still, it's hard to believe that WWE never gave Harry a chance to really break out as a singles star.

Given how Smith has made recent appearances on WWE's The Bump and Corey Graves' After the Bell podcast, maybe there's a chance that the 34-year-old could find himself back in WWE at some point in the future.
