WWE: 15 Most Deserving Future Hall Of Famers

15. The British Bulldog

British Bulldog With the recent inductions of Jake €œThe Snake€ Roberts, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Ted Dibiase and Mr. Perfect, we are starting to get a slew of inductions for early 90s WWF stars that were beloved but never won any World Championships in the WWF. Davey Boy Smith is among that group of talent. He was part of an excellent tag team with Dynamite Kid in the 1980s, but many would attribute the success of the team to Dynamite. His second run as a singles star was highlighted by the big Intercontinental Title win at Summerslam 1992 at Wembley Stadium, but again, Bulldog took a back seat to Bret Hart. It wasn€™t until Davey€™s third run with the company from 1994 until 1997 that he came into his own as a tremendous worker, especially in the final two years. In 96 and 97, you could put Davey among the top five workers in the company, along with Shawn, Bret, Owen and Austin. He and Owen carried the tag team division, and his matches with Bret, Shawn, and Owen were the best of his career. Putting aside his forgettable 1999/2000 return, the entire span of Bulldog€™s career from the 80s to the early 90s should be enough to warrant Hall of Fame inclusion. When could he be inducted?: That answer will come later in this list. Who should induct him and accept on his behalf?:Ideally, his son Harry (David Hart Smith). But Harry doesn€™t work for the WWE anymore, so if he isn€™t bought in, I€™d say Bret. If Harry couldn€™t induct him, he€™d probably accept on his behalf along with his mother (Davey€™s wife), Diana.
