In a recent interview with the Miami Herald, current World Wrestling Entertainment [WWE] superstar DH Smith [pictured above], the son of the late "British Bulldog," made a bold statement by saying he is better than the other second-generation superstars in WWE.

In the interview, Smith, who was suspended 30-days for his first violation of the company's Wellness Policy a little over a year ago, stated the following, "Well, this may sound kind of brash, but I think that I'm better than all of them. Joe Hennig is good. Ted DiBiase Jr. has certainly worked hard enough to get to his position, but they aren't from the dungeon...It's only going to be a matter of time before I go up to Smackdown and then, I'm going to show the wrestling world exactly why I am the past, present and future."

Smackdown lead-announcer Jim Ross touched on this subject on his official blog by stating, "Bold statement in a recent newspaper interview by D.H. Smith that he is the best second generation wrestler in WWE today. I like the young man's confidence and after seeing him this week, he looks physically ready to go...I suspect that Smith will debut on Smackdown in the next few weeks but that is speculation only."

I usually don't like people who talk before showing it but in this case, I agree with Smith. This man has been wrestling professional for six-to-seven years and it hasn't been in the independents. Rather, Smith, who is a graduate of the legendary "Hart Family Dungeon," has honed his craft and skills by wrestling all over the world in Japan, Europe, Mexico and anywhere else there is wrestling, something William Regal was very impressed with.

How can anyone argue against what Smith said especially when one watches his matches from Japan and researches the fact that WWE wanted to sign him back in 2002 when he was 15 or 16-years old, an offer Smith politely refused, stating he wanted to gain more experience before coming aboard, something WWE was very impressed with.

I just hope these comments don't upset the higher ups in WWE and ruin what could be a new generation Hart Foundation as just this past week at the Smackdown tapings, Smith and TJ Wilson, known as "The Canadian Bulldogs," wrestled a dark match against the WWE Tag Team Champions, Carlito and Primo Colon, and had Smackdown Diva Natalya as their manager.

It's like Kid Rock says in his song "Cocky,"........"They say I'm cocky and I say what? It ain't bragging if you do it and back it up!"
