WWE 2K16: 15 Legends Who Could Be The Flagship Star
15. The British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith
Is Davey Boy Smith the most famous British wrestler of all time? Perhaps. After all, Big Daddys popularity was barely mentioned off our shores, and William Regal never won the Intercontinental title at Wembley Stadium from his brother-in-law. That moment was a high point for the man known as the British Bulldog, and when his many issues with steroid and narcotic abuse caught up to him in 2002, contributing to a fatal heart attack, Smith was forty years old and no closer to reviving his stalled career. Thirteen years later, Bret The Hitman Hart has buried the hatchet with WWE sufficiently to make multiple appearances on their programming and accept a WWE Hall Of Fame ring way back in 2006. While Smith wasnt ever even remotely as talented in the ring as the Excellence Of Execution, it seems high time that one of the most recognisable WWF performers of the pre-Attitude Era was, in turn, recognised for his contributions to the industry in 2016s Hall Of Fame. The British Bulldog might not have the cache of an Ultimate Warrior or a Sting, but with the UK being one of the WWEs most fanatical markets, casting the larger than life pie eater as WWE 2K2016s flagship superstar could make good financial sense and hes not the only Hart-affiliated wrestler whos overdue some Hall Of Fame loving
