Remembering their legacies
Davey Boy Smith: A British Bulldog in the ring
Davey Boy Smith was born in Golborne, England, and began his wrestling career in the 1980s. He quickly made a name for himself as a powerhouse in the ring, known for his signature moves like the Running Powerslam and the Hangman's Neckbreaker. Bulldog's intense rivalries with Bret Hart and The Undertaker are still remembered as some of the greatest matches in WWE history.
Bulldog was also a proud member of the legendary Hart Foundation, alongside Bret Hart and Jim Neidhart. Together, they were a formidable trio that dominated the tag team division in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Charles Wright: The Godfather's pimp game
Charles Wright began his wrestling career in the early 1990s, working for various promotions before joining WWE in 1996. He initially wrestled as The High Chief, but it was his iconic Godfather character that truly captured the hearts of wrestling fans.
The Godfather was known for his distinctive pimp persona, complete with a gold tooth, sunglasses, and a hoard of "hoes" (female valets) by his side. His catchphrase, "Doggone right, it's the Godfather," became a fan favorite, and his entrance music, "How You Like Me Now?!" by The Heavy, still gets the crowd hyped.
Wright was a seven-time Hardcore Champion and a two-time tag team champion with The Goodfather. He was also a mentor to many younger wrestlers, helping them hone their characters and in-ring skills.
