• On This Day In Pro Wrestling History (May 18, 2002) – Old School WWF Legend Passed Away
On this day in 2002, we lost Old School WWF Legend “The British Bulldog” Davey Boy Smith (Real name: David Smith) at the young age of 39.
Davey Boy died after suffering a heart attack, most likely a result of his pain killer addiction, which was caused by the WCW Fall Brawl 1998 incident, when they had a trap door under the ring canvas to enable The Ultimate Warrior suddenly showing up in the ring during the main event, but the WCW officials forgot to tell Davey not to bump on that side of the ring, so he did and got hurt.
He became a legend while wrestling for the World Wrestling Federation from 1985 to 1992, from 1994 to 1997 and again from 1999 to 2000.
Smith was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2021 with his ex wife Diana and his kids Harry & Georgia accepting the award on his behalf.
† REST IN PEACE BRITISH BULLDOG
