WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy Hart compares current wrestlers to those of his era (Exclusive)
Legendary manager Jimmy Hart has expressed his opinion on the current crop of wrestlers.
In an interview with Jose G of Sportskeeda Wrestling, The Mouth of the South was asked about the difference in the product now to his days. Hart responded by stating that the current wrestlers are more athletic and can do stuff that wasn't required back in the day. He also discussed the role of social media these days.
"Well, I think a lot of the wrestlers now are very much athletic. You know what I mean. I mean they can do so many different things than our era, we didn’t do, we didn’t have to do really back then but it’s just so good that they got social media behind them now which gives you a little shortcut to the top sometimes I think if you got what it takes. But I love the talent they’ve got right now from top to bottom.", Jimmy Hart said.
Jimmy Hart praised NXT for the growth of the newer superstars.
"And we’ve got a great, training facility up in Orlando, Florida, NXT and that’s where a lot of young and upcoming superstars are coming from."
