I met Davey Boy Smith a few times. I remember seeing him after Summer Slam 1995 in which he took the time to talk with me. I’d asked Davey how he responded when people claimed that wrestling was fake. He said, “I tell them, ‘Get in the ring and I’ll show you how fake it is!’” I didn’t know about what was happening “behind closed doors” but now thinking about his response to the question, there was a lot more to it than I realized. Rest in peace, Davey Boy Smith…thanks for the memories.

I saw Davey Boy Smith wrestle live once in Winnipeg in 2002. I believe it was his second last match before his passing. It was at a small community centre with no more than 150 fans. It was a thrill to see him in the ring, however, you could see that he was struggling physically. One of the greatest of all time. RIP 🇬🇧

My brother and I met the British Bulldog in 1998, when we happened to be staying at the same hotel they stayed at after the event in Chicago. He was a friendly guy. We took a picture that I unfortunately lost in a house flood. Good memory though and sad to hear he had such a tragic demise.

I nearly met the British Bulldog at my local gym, which my older brother use to go to. My brother caught wind that he would pop into the gym one day in Birmingham. So my brother took me down to go and see him. I was there ages but never saw him and we went home. Years later, I asked my brother if he made it up. My brother said no but he did turn up. The British Bulldog took one look at the gym and called it a sh*thole and buggered off.

I saw him at Blackpool Tower in about 1994/5 and he pulled a crowd of about 200. He seemed to hate it, and the night was weirder because Big Daddy was wandering around selling postcards so it must have been a Crabtree promotion. I was also at One Night Only in 97 and the crowd was seriously hot - seems like he was married to the WWE for life.

As a Brit and a wrestling fan it was great to have such a high profile British wrestler in a top federation like the WWF. I think he should have been pushed as the world champion, but sadly this didn’t happen. His struggle and eventual demise because of his drug addiction is not unique, and a trap that many great wrestlers have fallen into, some survived but not unfortunately Davey. R.I.P The British Bulldog, gone but not forgotten. 🫶🏻👌🏻🏆

His sister had terminal cancer, so Davey dedicated the match to her on British television because he had been told beforehand that he would be winning. Vince changed his mind on the outcome a mere hours before the match took place, thanks to Shawn Michaels' politicking. That particular incident played a big part in Davey's eventual "downfall," and I'm very surprised it wasn't mentioned.

Was fighting with blokes in there 30's sometimes 40's from being 14 years old and being almost 6ft tall and 15st at 14 years of age! Did not help knocking about with older lads that was left school! Having too fight a lot learned me bulk was not answer was being fast fit and being able too recover fast if you are hurt!! Steroids don't help cardio or speed at all!! You are not supposed too raise your heart rate on roids as will enlarge your heart and possibly put fluid in the muscle tissue of your heart! Anyway all older lads who was trying too get me on roids with them have some sort of problem from the steroids!! I beat them all when they started playing funny buggers with roid rages in full effect ha ha! Regardless of there size they all gassed when I literally took it easy on them!! Mind I used to go too the body like no one's business back in the day! Piss week now due too life changing injures but still good enough too sort out the pretenders! I'm so surprised any of the wrestlers of my childhood are still going as steroids abuse was insane they was all at it! The high intensity of the wrestling whilst full of steroids must have killed off and caused so many heart problems and heart failure it's almost unthinkable how they got away with it! So many people abuse them still too this day knowing fine well that they are playing Russian roulette! Cardio is always key your body will only go as big as its supposed too and don't train for bulk train for fitness strengh and conditioning stuff size as chasing bulk is what will kill you!

Bret hated this going down as he thought it was stupid the Hart Foundation wasn't there to save Davey. He thought Shawn did this on purpose to fuck with him and his family. He was already set to win the World Title..he didn't need the European Title. Bulldog goes down in his home country while HBK celebrates with his new trophy as he's pelted with trash.

The Harts understood the business behind wrestling (ie copyrights and ownership over their moves and career decisions). This is why it was hard for the wrestling administration to get over on them. The only way to get over on the Harts were to screw them over. Look what happened to Bret, Owen and Davey.

In addition, notice how the documentary defamed Davey's character as being a "steriod junkie" and "drunk." Owen, Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero all had "similar" documentaries defaming their characters as being drunks or steroid abusers.

His nan lived on Victoria Road in Garswood, Wigan. I was a wrestling fan at the age of about 12 at the time. One day, a white, American stretched limo came down the road with a couple of Escalades. I thought it was the USA president at the time. The convoy came to a stop so we ran to see who it was. Imagine a beam of light shining down on him as he gets out.....and angelic harp music....the lot....me and my mates were looking on at Davey Boy Smith and his entourage and although he did glance at us momentarily, he just went in to his nans house and we were star struck. Good times.

The British Bulldog Davey boy Smith was always one of my favorites I wish he would have won the WCW World Heavyweight Championship from Big Van Vader back in the early 90's and I didn't really like seeing him get Rockbottomed into dog shit but fuck it was the Attitude era and stuff like that happened.

Tom was an incredible wrestler but a really horrible human being. Broke the legs of a girl so their parents could claim insurance, pulled a gun on his wife and threatened to kill her and the kids, bullied and ridiculed people, drugged people and intentionally hurt people in the ring.

I'll say this. Many of those guys were crazy and had all sorts of issues. But I remember they gave their lives to entertain us when we were children and I remember the British Bulldog and he was amazing. It moves me when I think about them, how many of them like Davey Boy Smitth died so young. May they rest in peace.
