We posted story recently about Bret Hart talking about what the WWE is doing wrong with Roman Reigns (Read Here). In the same interview, Bret also goes on to talk about the WWE misusing their European stars.
"Look at the European wrestlers, from Wade Barrett to Drew McIntrye–who isn’t there any more–to Sheamus, they are all very good wrestlers,” explained Hart. “But there is a bit of an ignorance from Vince on the promotion’s side of not recognizing these talents because they speak with an accent. I don’t know how they lost Drew McIntrye. They booked him so horribly right from the time he got there. He could be in one of the main events this weekend. What a waste of a talent. Some of the booking for guys has been really bad. Harry Smith is another guy who has a lot of wrestling skills. I scratch my head some time how they can let a guy like that go.”

I agree with Bret Here... There has been a lengthy debate on why Cesaro is not a main event guy when he clearly has fan support and is incredible in the ring. It might be that the WWE just isn't very good at booking their European stars, Sheamus, Barrett, Cesaro and even Neville are all incredibly talaneted but just never seem to be booked properly. Maybe it is time they form a European faction and feud with the Americans like Bret Hart did with the Hart foundation in the late 90's.
Thoughts on Bret's comments or the booking of European stars??
