#8 David Hart Smith
While he may never have had ‘world title’ potential in WWE, David Hart Smith’s exit from the company was certainly a surprising one. He had a history in the business and was still relatively young when he walked out the door. His tag team partnership with Tyson Kidd lead to him becoming a champion, not long before he was shown the door.
Nowadays, however, he’s moved on to new pastures and is currently thriving over in New Japan Pro Wrestling. That news may come as a surprise to some people who probably thought he had dropped off the face of the planet when, in reality, he was busy honing his craft and attempting to get better with each passing day.
In our opinion, it’s safe to say that he accomplished that goal.
