10 Most Influential British Wrestlers Ever (According To An American)
5. Davey Boy Smith
Although never the most technically proficient or money-drawing talent, it's hard to argue that The British Bulldog was not a huge star and one of the most recognizable Brits in wrestling during his heyday.
For American fans in the '80s and beyond, Davey Boy Smith was the name that came to mind when you thought of British wrestling talents. A powerhouse as both a tag team wrestler and a singles star, rivalries with names like The Warlord, The Hart Foundation, and Shawn Michaels made him a superstar.
His career may have ended tragically, but most remember him for highlights like his battle with Bret Hart in Wembley Stadium at SummerSlam, where 90,000 fans flocked to the capital to cheer on their hero.
