#3 Davey Boy Smith increased Lex Luger's tension
Lex Luger was once destined to become a top WWE Superstar. However, due to multiple reasons he never reached this position. In the previous two slides, we talked about Owen Hart and the pranks he pulled but in this one, we will learn about a prank his partner-in-crime, Davey Boy Smith did. In an interview given to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, The British Bulldog said this:
"We were in Virginia and there were some plainclothes police officers there and I had a water gun. I was shooting water at them and they were getting really mad. They approached me and asked who was doing it? I said, Lex Luger.
Lex was known for driving roughly, and it's why the former Intercontinental Champion suggested the cops to chase and catch him. However, that night, Lex was following the traffic rules. Then, Davey Boy Smith said that Shawn Michaels is chasing them and he wants to race. After that, Lex picked up some speed but then, the cops put a light on their roof. The chase quickly ended, and the officers came towards them.
"After taking his license and registration, the police walked back toward their car. I yelled at the police, 'Blow it out your a**!' The cop turned around, immediately, walked back to our car, and told Lex to get out of the car. Lex said, 'It wasn't me. It wasn't me.' The officer looked in the back seat and asked Owen who said that? Owen sheepishly points and say it was Lex Luger."
Many wrestling fans and even Vince saw this incident, but somehow, the Superstars managed to get out of it without getting in any trouble.
