10 years since the passing of the British Bulldog
Can't believe he was only 39...always thought he was older when he passed away.

What are everyones thoughts and memories of Davey Boy Smith? Did you like him and his character?

He was bigger than Hogan in the UK in the early 90s, had to love him.

Fantastic tag team wrestler. One of the best ever. Never really got into his singles career.

R.I.P Bulldog.





You were a favorite of my youth, or a classic of my youth. Unknown as to which yet you were inseparable from the glory that was wrestling from my youth.

You were awesome in the Attitude era and you are surely awesome in the afterlife.

Bulldog, I did not know you yet I might feel comfortable in wagering money that you were a decent guy. Married into the Harts and accepted like a blood relative.

Your parting is tragic yet I am comfortable in the knowledge that Vince McMahon Sr. is currently booking you and Macho Man as the greatest tag team of the afterlife.

You were a huge guy who could move and wrestle. I am happy that you had your big moment selling a show.

I know your spirit and soul is jolly because Owen, John Lennon and Paul McCartney (taker it easy ) are absolutely ribbing you in the afterlife.

Today I shall celebrate and honor the glory of your quads, skills, mindset, vocal performance and legacy. Here is to my cup not having a chance to be filled.


-Cheers

Davey Boy was phenomenal. Best mix of power, speed, agility, and ability.

I loved the Bulldog until he started wrestling in jeans. Summerslam 92's main event is an all-time classic.

Loved that stalling suplex he would do! I could never forget his match with the Warlord and he held him up for so long. Amazed me as a kid.

British Bulldog was good. Probably the 3rd best rassler from the Commonwealth.

I actually liked his first stint in WCW, where he teamed with Sting and feuding with Vader. I believe his second stint there wasn't as successful.

I remember him being involved in some arm wrestling tournament in his first stint in WCW against some fat dudes with masks. Colossal Kong or some shit. I think maybe Vader and Rick Rude had something to do with this. I'm sure DLVH has all the details.

It was called the Jesse Ventura Invitational Strongest Arm Tournament, which was usually held on WCW Worldwide late in the year.

Actually, Davey Boy did beat a Colossal Kong named Awesome Kong (not the woman now called Kharma). It was before his semi-final with Vader that Davey Boy got attacked by Rick Rude (more build-up to their proposed match at Starrcade '93, before Smith got fired) and injured his arm, which helped Vader beat Smith.

I remember when I was eight-years old back in 1991 seeing him wrestle at a WWF house show in a small town in Texas. I was in the front row and I stuck my hand out to get a high-five. He walked pass me and didn't give me a high-five, BUT his arm ran into my hand, which I seriously thought was cool. I didn't hold him not high-fiving me against him at all. (He probably just didn't see me.) I was always a big Bulldog fan and always will be.
