British Bulldog's Grave - Famous Graves

British Bulldog has a special place in my heart because I used to stay up into the early hours with my young son watching him wrestle. I queued with my son for over 3 hours in Manchester to get his autograph and what a down to earth guy he was. Sadly my son passed suddenly 8 years ago and had a large collection of the wrestlers in his collection. Poor Bulldog. Thanks Paul xxx

Love Davy Boy Smith and Dynamite Kid one of the greatest tag team of all time.. RIP thank you for entertaining us..

I wasn't a wrestling fan but I'd heard of the British bulldog, and saw him on tv . Such a shame he was only 39 ! The heart is also a big muscle, so steroid use is obviously going to affect that muscle in some way or another eventually. I feel for his dad around that time, losing his daughter in 98, his wife in 99 , then his son 3 years later ! RIP British Bulldog .

I still watch the Hart Foundation on you tube with Bret Hart, Owen Hart, Brian Pillman Jim the anvil Neidhart and the British Bulldog, OMG, Davey Boy was super strong, So sad that he got hooked on drugs. Bret Hart is the only surviving member. Fantastic wrestling back in 1980's to late 1990s, thanks Paul, I look forward to this x

I preferred wrestling when Pat Roach 1937 2004 (Bromsgrove Old Cemetery) , Big Daddy ((Shirley Crabtree) 1930 - 1997 Lister Cemetery, Halifax) Giant Haystacks ((Martin Ruane) 1947 1998 Agecroft Cemetery, Pendlebury) I personally think that was the hay day.

Used to watch wrestling in the 80's with my dad on a Saturday afternoon. Big daddy & giant haystacks, good old days. Still watching wrestling now I've grown up.

I remember seeing the British Bulldog at a wrestling match as a kid back in the 80's when I was on holiday with my family in Eastbourne. This was before he went to America and made it really big; I still have some pics somewhere. Big Daddy was also on the bill that night for those of you of a certain age that might remember him too.

So much happened after SunmerSlam. He dropped the IC title to future star Shawn Michaels. He joined WCW teaming with Sting and feuding with Vader and Sid Vicious and staring in two horrendous low budget promos (search “Bash at the Beach 93” and “Shockmaster”). Returned to the UK wrestling for All-Star Wrestling by Feb 94 which is where I saw him. He teamed with a young kid at a local leisure centre. Back to the WWF for SummerSlam 94 at ringside with the family in the Bret Hart v Owen Hart cage match. Starting a series of family feuds with Bret and Davey as faces and Owen and Neidhart the heels. The Allied Powers with Lex Luger based on the Anglo-US friendship was poor. Lex departed for WCW and Davey turned heel cutting off his long hair and siding with manager Jim Cornette, Yokozuna and Owen. Davey/Owen won the tag team belts and Davey went on to win the new European championship. By then he joined the Hart Foundation heel stable with Bret, Owen, Neidhart and Brian Pillman. But lost it again to Michaels at One Night Only PPV at the NEC in Birmingham. Davey reluctantly agreed to lose to Shawn’s proposal as losing would set up a better rematch with Bret who had a heated off screen rivalry with. The fans did not. Booing Shawn and throwing litter. The Montreal Screwjob resulted in Bret, Davey and Neidhart leaving for WCW. A fateful time. Davey feel on a hidden trapdoor and got a spinal infection. He turned to morphine and pain killing drugs. A present from WCW was a FedEx firing him. Davey rejoined WWF but as a more hardcore style wrestler losing the Union Flag attire and donning jeans. He won the Hardcore Championship before turning heel again forfeiting the belt to Al Snow. Smith again won the European championship on Oct 26 but lost to Val Venis. Winning back the Hardcore Championship in London defeating Crash Holly before losing it to him later on. His last match was on May 27 ironically in Calgary. He then retired. Prior to his death he was training intending to resume his career and wrestled three matches with son Harry. Davey I feel never got the billing and status he deserved. But in our eyes he was every bit the star. RIP Davey.

Before my time I was 2000-2006 Stone cold the rock etc Very interesting tho Well done again Paul 👍👌

I went to Davey’s grave myself a few weeks ago after I finished reading an amazing book called the explosive lives of the British Bulldogs, I really wanted to pay my respects and I don’t live too far from Golbourne anyway, it’s beautiful that his mum and sister are just a row over. Great video as always 👏👏👏

Hi paul l was a big fan of wwf british bulldog was a great wrestler what a beautiful headstone he has such a young age to go my greatest wrestler is the hulk hogan,the undertaker,jake the snake roberts l don't watch it these days but l did love the entertainment they gave us they certainly put there bodies through it and the acting skills as well to pull off the entertainment they gave us.

One of the best wrestlers out there. Loved watching him in the ring. Great to have Britain represented in the WWF. Probably my 2nd favourite behind The Ultimate Warrior.

Man , what a class wrestler he was ,such a shame what happened. Same as with Owen as well (Hart),Me and the Mrs were watching when Owen had that fateful fall . Two of many wrestling legends gone to that big ring in the sky . I know this is going to be another well put together respected visit , you’re a diamond geezer Paul mate and the most respectful person I’ve seen on you tube doing this . All the best .

Mum, daughter and son all lost in less than 4 years,and all still young, so sad. I only remember wrestling on world of sport on a Saturday afternoon with the likes of Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks (showing my age now!) and all the 'older' ladies at the front shouting their heads off. Oh what memories. Thanks again Paul. Your videos make a sunday evening something to actually look forward to 💕

I grew up watching Davey Boy Smith and Dynamite Kid on British Wrestling then WWF and then later on Davey went to WCW for a while. What a wrestler he was. And Owen Hart such a shame a tragic accident and a lot of people say Owen was even better than his big brother Bret and that's saying something. Thankyou again Paul for taking me back to happier times for me.

Hi, Davvy Boy Smith was a massive part of my childhood much like WWF was and WWE still is, I had the privilege of seeing Davvy Boy win the intercontinental title from Brett at SummerSlam 92 and that's was incredible and one of the best matches ever. A few years after I see Davvy live again at the docklands arena. Much like many sadly taken from us too early Davvy hot hard like Scott halks did a few months back, Davvy took pain killers due to a back injury sustained and the roids unfortunately a big part of WWF and wrestling as big powerhouse guys was the desire unlike nowadays. Rip and thanks for the memories.

Had the pleasure of driving Davey, the warlord, roddy piper, around dublin in 1991,tour de force tour .to the gym and hotel, Davey was a true gentleman ,left me with photos and great memories, was so sad to here of his passing, condolences to his family, RIP DAVEY THANKS FOR EVERYTHING.

Met Davey when I was 14 at a Worthing show when he was training to return back to the WWF. He was a great guy but one thing that amazed me was how short he was!
