10 WWE Prospects Who Caused Their Own Downfall
These WWE prospects failed because of their own actions
8. Teddy Hart
Teddy Hart was every bit as talented as he was self-destructive, a career-long narrative began in WWE.
After a standout performance in Dory Funk Jr’s training camp in 1998, Hart became the youngest person ever signed to a WWE developmental contract.
With natural athleticism and a unique charisma, hopes were high that Stu Hart’s grandson would help carry on the Hart family legacy moving forward. But Teddy’s contract was terminated after he was deemed a liability.
Supposedly always stoned, Teddy continually slept in and was late to practice, something Dory Jr. certainly wasn’t going to tolerate. There were also rumours of an incident at a hotel WWE used in Stamford, Connecticut contributing to Hart’s abrupt departure.
As he had talent, he was brought back, but his attitude hadn’t changed and he was deemed too immature to risk sending out on the road and once again fired.
After an inconsistent and often controversial handful of years working on the indies, Hart was invited back in 2007 to be part of a rebooted Hart Foundation with TJ Wilson, Harry Smith and Natalya Neidhart.
The third time was not the charm and his poor attitude led to him being let go once more.
