#4. WWE Hall of Famer Davey Boy Smith

WWE Hall of Famer Davey Boy Smith also married one of Bret Hart's sisters. The former Intercontinental Champion kicked off his professional wrestling career in the late 1970s. In the early 1980s, he moved from the UK to Canada to join Stu Hart's Stampede Wrestling.

After moving to Canada, Smith lived with Bret in a small house in Calgary. He also met Bret and Owen Hart's sister, Diana, in 1981. In an old interview, the former European Champion disclosed how he and Diana fell in love with each other.

"I met [Diana] when I first came to Calgary in 1981. She saw my picture in the Stampede Wrestling Magazine and she asked who I was. I’d met Bruce [Hart] in 1977 in England when I was training to be a wrestler. Bruce said [to Diana] that I was Dynamite’s cousin and was coming over to wrestle for Stampede wrestling. She took my picture out of the magazine and put it in her high school binder (...) I came over and I met her. She came over to Bret’s house and was looking for someone to go to a movie with her and a friend. She was trying to call Owen [Hart], and I said I’ll go with you. I don’t mind. We went to the movie together, and we’ve been together even since," he said in 1998.

In August 1985, Smith and Diana welcomed their first child, Harry. A year later, they tied the knot. They then had their second child, Georgia, in 1989. Nonetheless, the couple's marriage ended in divorce in 2000.

Smith joined WWE in 1984. He spent nearly four years in the company before leaving in 1988. However, the former tag team champion returned in 1990 to spend another two years before departing again.

In 1994, Smith returned once more for three more years. Nevertheless, he left to join WCW in 1997, where he only stayed a year.

In September 1999, he made his last comeback to WWE. However, his final run ended only a few months later. The company announced Smith's departure in May 2000. Two years later, Smith passed away after suffering a heart attack.
