#4 WWE Hall of Famer - The Late British Bulldog

Born in Golborne, Lancashire, England, the British Bulldog has been a brute force in the WWE ring.

Davey Boy Smith is best known for beating his brother-in-law Bret Hart at Wembley Stadium for the Intercontinental title in front of 80,000+ fans at SummerSlam 1992. To this day, The Hitman considers it one of the best matches he has been a part of.

Apart from claiming the IC title, Davey was also the inaugural European Champion and held the title for a whopping 206 days, the longest reign for any European Champion. He has also been a two-time WWE Tag Team Champion with his other brother-in-law Owen Hart as well as the Dynamite Kid.

The British Bulldog was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2020, 18 years after his unfortunate demise. His induction was certainly a moment to cherish for all his fans.

#3 WWE Hall of Famer - Kane

Despite being born in Torrejón de Ardoz, Spain, Kane is an American citizen and has been one of the most dominant wrestlers to ever step foot in the squared circle.

The Big Red Machine, with his imposing seven-foot frame, has caused destruction in the WWE for well over two-decades.

The former two-time world champion and ECW champion, having made his debut in 1997, was one of the pivotal components of the Attitude Era. His feuds with legends like The Rock, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Mick Foley, Stone Cold Steve Austin and (most famously) his kayfabe half-brother, The Undertaker, have been one for the ages.

Kane was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2021 and also holds an enviable record for the most appearances in a Royal Rumble Match at 20 as well as the highest cumulative total eliminations at 46. Such has been his influence in the business that one of his peers, The Big Show, labeled him "the best big man ever."

Outside of the ring, Kane has also carved out an impressive career in politics as the Mayor of Knox County, Tennessee, since 2018. A completely well-rounded person, to say the least.
