Highs and Lows: 5 incredible returns to the UK by new WWE Hall of Famer The British Bulldog

#1. Summerslam 1992

The biggest night in the Bulldog's career

This is it – arguably the most famous night in the history and career of the most famous wrestler to ever emanate from the United Kingdom.

Bret Hart had beaten Roddy Piper in a classic bloody battle at Wrestlemania 8 months earlier, winning the Intercontinental championship in the process. As the summer approached and Summerslam was lined up for London’s Wembley Stadium, the Bulldog was confirmed as the number one contender.

The build-up was a triumph, and one that sits understated in the history of high-profile WWE matches. It was a highly-charged and emotional, family affair – with the duo being brother in laws following Davey Boy’s marriage to Hart’s sister, Diana.

Summerslam arrived and, in front of a sold out crowd of over 80,000 Brits in the Bulldog’s back yard, the hometown hero triumphed – converting Hart’s attempted sunset flip into a pinning combination of his own for the decisive three count. In the end, the families did reunite as Diana joined both her husband and brother in the ring to celebrate, fireworks booming around Wembley Stadium as those in attendance revelled in the pageantry of it all.
