Hart talks about WWE wasting talent

[Stopspot]

WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart criticized WWE's creative efforts in an interview with the U.K. Sun's Rob McNichol for the One Sided Ring podcast. Hart said he believes WWE "has spent too much time in the last couple of years making television stars rather than wrestlers." Hart picked out Tyson Kidd and Brodus Clay as examples of talent being underutilized and wasted, respectively.

"They have some great wrestlers, and Tyson Kidd is as schooled as they get. Technically and mentally - as far as wrestling psychology, moves, timing - Tyson Kidd is maybe one of the best in the world," Hart said. “There are a lot of wrestlers in that company that have not been used properly. Brodus Clay is a guy that when I first saw how he moved and how skilled he was as a big 300-pounder, and now I see him with the girls and he’s just a cartoon character. Whoever thought of that should be taken out the back and shot."

Taken out in the back and shot? That's a little extreme!

i believe Bret's intentions are wrestling related, while WWE is seeking to brand itself and make $ off whomever may tickle the public fancy

Sad but true(except the shoot part), WWE talent is getting wasted, instead of getting used for actual wrestling, they take their wrestlers and make them into complete useless clowns, take Santino for example, his career is broken, he is a comedy character with a shit finisher. He is a great wrestler, a boss, but instead of using him for wrestling, they limit his moves a shit load a lot, and make money off of him by having him in poor humor sketches. Same with divisions, remember the cruiserweight division was great, high flyers, and giving opportunities to those young guys, and instead they choose to retire the division in the poorest way possible by giving it to Hornswoggle. They also make pointless changes like the Woman's championship and Diva's championship, they could have either kept the Woman's championship, or have the Diva's championship like in an Intercontinental championship style, being 2nd to the Woman's championship. WWE needs to get their act together.

Cool to see some of the old guys stating their opinion on present day wrestling. Hopefully a few more will say the same sort of things and we'll see some young guys with a lot of talent getting a push like Trent Baretta and Tyson Kidd.
