Teddy Hart Tells It Like It Is
May 15, 2008
I am not even sure what to say about this “shoot” video featuring Teddy Hart (record date unknown but given the content discussed it appears to be fairly new). It’s one of the greatest pieces of media I have ever witnessed in my life.
Actually, in all seriousness, it’s kind of sad. Teddy Hart is a wonderful talent when he wants to be. Unfortunately, a lot of other issues keep halting him from truly realizing that talent. In a nutshell, this video highlights some of these issues.
A few years ago, I worked on a wrestling story for HBO Sports’ Real Sports with Bryant Gumble (made famous due to this altercation between Vince McMahon and reporter Armen Keteyian). That piece also featured an interview with a young Canadian wrestler named Teddy Hart.
Hart wasn’t featured all that much in the story except for one quote where he basically said that he would do whatever it took to make it to the top (WWE) and that included taking performance-enhancing drugs. Yup, he said that.
I don’t have a copy of the story so I can’t quote him exactly but, trust me, that’s what he said. None of the producers working on the story really knew who Teddy Hart (other than the fact that he had a famous wrestling last name) but everyone definitely thought it was strange to hear a person in his position, with his family history, say something like that.
Anyhow, from the looks of this video, it appears as though that was just Teddy being Teddy.
