Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })David "Davey Boy" Smithnote Claims that Smith's middle name was "Boy" as a result of one of his parents mistaking the name field on Smith's birth certificate for the gender field are incorrect, since British birth certificates are not completed by the parents; plus Smith's gender would have been written as "male" instead of "boy", anyway. One can look his entry in the England and Wales Births Register, which lists him as David Smith, without a middle name. (27 November 1962 – 18 May 2002) was a British professional wrestler. Smith became one of the biggest names in British wrestling and one of the most famous foreign stars in American pro wrestling from the late 80's to the late 90's under his wrestling name, The British Bulldog. Starting off in ITV's Saturday afternoon and evening show World of Sport, Smith's career would take him through Stampede, All Japan Pro Wrestling, WWE and WCW as a successful tag and singles wrestler, notching up numerous title runs along the way.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Smith was most famous for the main event at SummerSlam 92 where he pinned Bret Hart to become the Intercontinental Champion in front of 80,000 fans of his home nation at the legendary Wembley arena. Besides this he was 1x IWA Heavyweight Champion, 2x NWA Stampede North-America Heavyweight Champion, 2x NWA Stampede International Tag Team Champion (1x with Bruce Hart and 1x with Dynamite Kid), the inaugural and former 2x WWF European Champion (Holding the record for the longest title's reign), 2x WWF Tag Team Champion (1x with The Dynamite Kid and 1x with Owen Hart) and 2x WWF Hardcore Champion.A long standing wrestler within WWE in the 90's along with several stints in WCW of varying success, Smith's demons would eventually take their toll as years of painkiller and steroid abuse were responsible for his death by heart failure on 18 May 2002. Despite that, Smith is largely remembered fondly for his role in the ring and extensive career.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Oh, and for being BIZARRE! However, that promo is NOTHING compared to this indescribable promo his cousin and future tag team partner the Dynamite Kid cut on him in their Stampede days. | |

Pint-Sized Powerhouse | |
Davey Boy Smith (Wrestling) / int_53a7089a | comment |
Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Relative in the world of wrestling of course, as Smith was about average height which is small compared to most other professional wrestlers. Despite that, he was billed as the 'strongest wrestler pound for pound' on the roster at times. Moreover, an "average height" man able to execute his patented delayed vertical suplex or gorilla-pressing on guys like Sycho Sid, Warlord, Vader and The Undertaker day-in and day-out may add "Giant Slayer" to his job description. note ....after all, his name was "David". | |

Right-Hand Attack Dog: Matlida the Wonder Dog… at least in the eyes of Bobby Heenan. Matlida was Smith's mascot during his days with the British Bulldogs, and Heenan repeatedly claimed that Matlida was trained to bite him or one of his wrestlers without provocation. This came into play at WrestleMania IV, following Heenan's upset win involving him and the Islanders against the Bulldogs and Koko B. Ware, when following the match Matilda chased and caught Heenan in the aisle. And let's not forget Winston. | |

Finishing Move: The Running Powerslam served as Davey Boy's finisher as a singles competitor. In tag teams, a Fastball Special with him gorilla-pressing and dropping his partner on top of a fallen opponent. The Dynamite Kid was dropped into a diving headbutt, Sting into a diving splash. At the end of his career he used the Superplex, honoring his cousin for he was its innovator. ...and when all of this failed, a Boring, but Practical Jackknife should do the trick. | |

Irony: Despite his nickname, he performed the maneuver called "Bulldog" scarcely, and only as a counter... but how about each and every variation of "Gorilla press"? His whole WWF stint as heel. One of the purest whitemeat Faces ever demolishing one Monster Heel after another in order to earn his rank as Top Competitor for a title shot.

Also fit this with his brother-in-law Owen throughout their lives. The two served as one of the better tag teams WWE had in the mid-late 90's, as well as being great friends in the back. | |
