Vince Hates Creative, Loves Harry Smith

News

Harry Smith and T.J. Wilson will soon debut on Smackdown as a tag team. Vince McMahon was on the flight back from some unsatisfactory TV tapings a couple of months ago, perusing the roster sheets, when he saw that Harry Smith, son of ‘British Bulldog’ Davey Boy Smith, was still in developmental. He got mad at the creative team for letting a “pedigree kid” sit on the sidelines, since young guys coming from wrestling families are always favoured. Vince chastised the creative team for letting good looking young talent waste away or “get jobbed to shit” and demanded a debut storyline be written for Smith right away. Soon afterwards, Smith and Wilson were teamed up in Florida Championship Wrestling to be prepared for their Smackdown debut.
