BRITISH BULLDOG PASSES AWAY
- Former WWF Intercontinental, Tag Team, European and Hardcore title
holder the British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith was found dead yesterday in
British Columbia. Smith, 39, suffered an apparent heart attack although
family members didn't confirm the cause of death yet. Smith was going
through some trouble in the past couple of years, going from jail to
rehab after hitting his wife Diana Hart and having problems with the
Hart family. He also faced trial for allegedly threatening his
brother-in-law Bruce Hart last year although he ended up winning the
case. His battle with drug addiction unfortunately took over his career
as a professional wrestler and once he was released from the WWF back in
October of 2000, his life went downwards. At the time of his death, he
was with his girlfriend, Andrea Hart, who also happens to be Bruce
Hart's wife. He and Diana have two children, Harry, 16, and Georgia, 14.
The Bulldog just wrestled with his son two weeks ago in a tag match in
Winnipeg. Bulldog signed with the WWF back in August of 1999 after some
controversy since his brother-in-law Owen died while performing a few
months earlier. Smith's greatest moment in the WWF was in Summer of 1992
when in front of over 80,000 screaming UK fans inside the Wembley
Stadium in London, England, defeated family member Bret Hart to become
the Intercontinental Champion. Everyone here at W-O would like to send
our condolences to his family and friends.
