My Take
Davey Boy Smith was one of those wrestlers who made you believe in the spectacle completely — a genuinely massive, legitimately skilled guy who could carry anyone through a match and make it look like a war. Growing up in Golborne and cutting his teeth in British wrestling as a teenager, he had the technical foundation that his WWF contemporaries often lacked, and it showed every time he locked up. That Wembley Stadium match against Bret Hart at SummerSlam 1992 is still a legitimate candidate for the greatest match in WWF history — a packed Wembley going absolutely berserk for him, and he delivered. The British Bulldog character was goofy in the best way, but underneath the Union Jack trunks and the dog was a real wrestler's wrestler. Gone far too young at 39, and genuinely missed.
