10 Most Embarrassing Falls From Grace In WWE
2. The British Bulldog
This one still hurts.
Davey Boy Smith, a.k.a. The British Bulldog, had a stellar career and fully deserves his upcoming induction in the WWE Hall of Fame. WWE have plenty of highlights to choose from for his HoF video, from his early days teaming up with Dynamite Kid and tearing up the tag division, all the way to his becoming part of the The Hart Foundation (not forgetting his classic match-up with Bret Hart at Wembley).
Unfortunately, his final run in the company did not do justice to his legacy. Placed into a feud with the Rock, WWE obviously planned to use the veteran to get the young Dwayne Johnson even more over. Which is fine in theory, but the way they went about it...
As the header image shows, the Rock ended their rivalry by giving the Bulldog a Rock Bottom onto actual dog crap. There's an easy pun of this being an example of McMahon's "such good s**t", but frankly it's too depressing to make. Davey Boy was in bad shape at this time in his life, having picked up an addiction to pain killers following a horrific back injury the previous year. What he needed was some compassion and understanding to help him battle his demons. What he got was a public humiliation and an unnecessary tarnishing of his legacy.
