The "British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith is one of the best wrestlers ever that didn't a World Title in his career. He should be in the WWE Hall of Fame and hopefully that happens. Smith passed away in 2002, but he's still arguably the greatest wrestler from England in terms of being successful in the US. Bulldog had a listed height of 5'11" although due to his strength, he always seemed to be bigger than that. What was memorable about Smith is that he had a great combination of power and speed. His delayed vertical suplex was a classic move that he did all the time while the running powerslam was good enough as a finisher during his career. He also was one half of the British Bulldogs tag team, who were noted for their toughness along with the precision with which they worked. Smith is almost underrated as a tough guy. Aside from an injury late in his career he was able to work a loaded schedule and performed at a high level while doing so. He wasn't really known for technical wrestling although he was able to have great matches with wrestlers that wrestled in that style. Based on his physique and how intimidating he looked, he likely was one of the toughest guys during his time in wrestling.
