‘British Bulldog’ Davey Boy Smith Set for WWE Hall of Fame Induction Thanks to His Family’s Hard Work

The running powerslam. The vertical suplex. Partnering with Dynamite Kid as the British Bulldogs, his iconic match with Bret Hart at Wembley Stadium. Battles against Shawn Michaels, teaming with Owen Hart—and, of course, the run in the Hart Foundation.

“The British Bulldog” Davey Boy Smith had a career full of quintessential moments, which will be recognized on Tuesday night during WWE’s Hall of Fame celebration. Smith’s place as one of the greatest of all time was already firmly established, and his induction will provide a chance to reflect on his in-ring brilliance.

“Looking back on his career, it’s going to be like listening to a song on the radio you haven’t heard in a long time,” Davey’s widow, Diana Hart-Smith, says.
