Almost 30 years later, I still say this is one of the greatest Summerslam main event matches of all time Side note: it's always a great pleasure rewatching awesome content from one of the best wrestling channels ever
Another very underrated British bulldog match is Owen Hart versus British bulldog for the first European championship match. Will you please review this match no matter how many chin locks there are
1. Of course Bret made the match awesome, but I'll say that the fact that the Bulldog was able to hold up his end and make the match as much of a masterpiece as it was shows that he can be credited to being a great "follower". The match wouldn't have been so great if it involved those less capable of having a good match, gassed or clean. 2. During his 1994-1997 run, I wish the Bulldog had a second run with the Intercontinental Belt, preferably during his heel run in Camp Cornette.
I remember meeting Davey personally. He was very nice and took the time to answer some questions that I was interested to find out about--e.g.--when Ozzy Osborne escorted him and Dynamite Kid to the ring, if they were afraid that Ozzy would bite poor Matilda's head off. Davey laughed and said, "Actually Ozzy was more nervous than we were" and implied that it was likely due to Ozzy not being used to that type of audience.
All credit to Bret, I know hes not everyones cup of tea but dudes got the skills when it comes to wrestling. How many times has he made sub-par wrestlers look like a million bucks?
It was sad to hear Davey Boy had so many issues at the time as he and Bret delivered one of the greatest matches ever. Not only did Bret have to play the Heel to Davey Boy's Babyface but had to carry him for most of it. Respect to the Hitman for that. Also sad to think just 10 years later Davey was gone. RIP Davey Boy Smith!!
The fact that this match went successfully was miracle given the factors leading to it. Bret Hart proved in this match he can carry someone and make a match look good no matter the circumstance.
Bret is the GOAT. Everything he did was so quick and crisp and believable. Literally everything. This was already my favorite Bret match but when you learn about the story behind this and everything Bret was carrying here, it's insane.
I love that you used classic hitman theme. I'm a guitar player and can appreciate all the whammy bar dive bombs in the updated WWE theme....but I still ...I prefer the original
I watched the initial upload. I'll watch this one, also. I'll rewrite my original comment: "People have said that Bret Hart can wrestle a broom to a five star match". No lie: the Hitman IS one of the greatest to ever lace up a pair of boots.
Once I met Davey and we were chatting. This girl with pink hair walked by and he said, "Look at her fooking hair." Apparently this wasn't his style and he clearly expressed it.
I'm happy to say that I attended this show and I'm so glad that I did. I'd started watching the WWF in 1989, Summerslam was the first show I watched actually!! On Sky One here in England. Wembley stadium was about 45 minutes from my house at the time by public transport. A brilliant show and I'm surprised it's the only big PPV show that's ever happened in England.
Watched once, will watch again! Rethought my original comment, and concluded that this more than useful for new wrestlers than to understand pacing, storytelling and how to go over whilst having lost, but also how to make a match interesting without continual high spots, and how to have an amazing match with someone not up to par.
When some people try to downplay Brets accomplishments in the ring or claim he was overrated my simple answer is for them watch this match. Bret is shall we say, not too shy about blowing his own trumpet, but when it comes to this match its fully justified IMO.
@ShadowAngel go back and read my comment again. It related to in ring ability. Besides I'm pretty sure he was a bigger draw than HBK and Diesel so your comment is complete and utter nonsense as well.
@ShadowAngel revisionist history I see. You tell yourself what you need to bud. Its common knowledge that Bret drew more than Diesel and Shawn. Plus Bret had a strong presence with the international markets and probably was the most popular WWF wrestler overseas until Stone Cold came along. There is a reason why Vince put the title on him 5 times (though I dont count the 1 day title reign after the final 4 PPV as that was merely transitional) He obviously must have succeeded in some regard if that happened so your comment that he 'failed hard' so many times holds no water.
Hart v Perfect the year prior was a superior match, but Hart v Bulldog had a far superior build and more on the line. It's similar to Hogan v Warrior, the match itself wasnt the greatest main event of all time but the bulld and what was on the line makes it one of, if not the greatest main event in Wrestlemania history... no matter what the WWE polls say.
Bret did the exact same thing with getting Stone Cold completely over. A phenomenal match with the double turn to boot. He was spot on when it came to matches and what people needed to see in a match.
The greatest match in SummerSlam history let alone wrestling. Also Bret I’m fooked. Bret Hart is the innovator of the ladder match. Without Bret, there’s no ladder match. There’s no TLC. There’s nothing. Bret is the goat. Only Bret Hart could have done this. Another reason why Bret is on another level.
This is a great revisiting of one of the greatest matches of all time. Bret deserves tremendous accolades for everything he did & endured in this match. Bret & Davey were 2 of the 3 best wrestlers to come out of Stampede ( R.I.P.) & you know Stu was very proud of what he witnessed here. The HF & The BD's had the best tag team matches in WWF history, so it was great to see how they progressed in singles bouts. Allen Coage claimed he saw Davey & Dynamite allegedly inject Matilda with steroids, so I lost all respect for them as human beings. Looking at the performer only, Davey was like Scott Steiner- ridiculously gifted as an athelete for his size. Could have been the world champion & the face of the co. had his head been on straight. With the details behind this match, Davey didn't deserve to win, but for nostalgia it was always a great memory to see him reach his peak here in his homeland. R.I.P. Davey
I'm confused what part made you have to re-upload this video. Cause from the original viewing/version there didn't seem to be any thing wrong with the original video
I absolutely love the Hitman and his matches are as good as he says they are, and I know all wrestlers have egos but there is something about Bret's that is just really annoying and probably half truthful, i know there were hitman fans but the UK loved the British Bulldog and for him to say the UK fans really wanted to cheer for him which may be true, but high unlikely, is kind of annoying to hear, still love Bret's matches, but that ego is hard to digest sometimes lol
@@TheCrimsonTruthYouCantHandle If making hundreds of millions of dollars and becoming a pop culture icon around the globe to fans and non-fans alike "sucks", then yes.
It's sad that Davey Boy Smith's personal demons affected him so badly but he still managed to have an excellent match Brett Hart... They both were fantastic and i wish I was older and could have watched this match live on pay per view
I was going to watch this earlier and it disappeared. Glad it's back. I watched the match back then (no, I wasn't there) and it had me riveted. Bret's book is great.
BRITISH 🇬🇧 BULLDOG BULLDOG...DAVEY BOY SMITH was from that golden ✨️ era that you will never ever ever see again .....Davey boy Smith was an absolute LEGEND 💯 and came from a very well connected family.....having his roots in his home town of Manchester & Birmingham......to loose the BULLDOG at just 39 was massive blow ......I'm just glad & honoured to have grown up & been at this phenomenal event at Wembley England 🇬🇧......can you believe Davey boy had just not long got off a plane from a 48 hour long bender coke with his best pal .....nutter lol .....right befor the biggest fight of his life ...over 80,000 fans ❤❤❤......the atmosphere was unbelievable.....1992 Rest in peace Davey Boy Smith .. Legends never die x 💜
i think a good example of getting over by losing was the undertaker vs jeff hardy feud in 2002. i remember so badly wanting jeff hardy to win that ladder match but the truth is that it resonates more because he lost
In the us this match was not hyped up as the main event it was savage warrior. When summerslam was announced savage warrior was listed as the main event. I guess bret/bulldog was promoted as the main event in the uk but it wasnt in America
Maybe WWE can learn from their own history there's some great storytelling here. I wish id seen the original video but top quality Wrestling Bios video as usual. Im really into this series now
According to Bret's autobiography, Bulldog and Neidhart where smoking crack all week prior to Summerslam 92. Bret carried Bulldog in the main event, Bulldog was fooked throughout the whole match.
@@victorguzman723 it's not the best Mania but definitely my favourite also! And with the great work put into these Wrestling Bios videos I'd love to see that story covered here. Austin's story leading upto and beyond the 98 Rumble was great, Mike Tyson joining DX and all of the issues Shawn Michael's was having at this time. Interesting time for sure!
Everyone thanks about Shawn helping his friends, but looks like bert was doing this way b4 the Bret and Shawn hate even started. Maybe Shawn has reasons for doing what he did.
This match is just one of the many reasons that you can keep your Shawn Michaels... Bret might be a bit up his own arse, but he truly was the best there was, the best there is etc etc
Both were the 2 possibly best in the ring. Bret was a genius and made everything look amazing and hook you in, Shawn was spectacular and could read a crowd.
Some say Bret buries DaveyBoy in the retelling of this story.. I disagree. I think Bret is telling the truth, from his perspective, and he always says DaveyBoy gave 💯.
I remember watching this match on Sky TV at a friend's house back when it was originally broadcast - great match and we all celebrated when Bulldog won, but my friend's mum shrieked so loud we wondered if she was ok! She was, she was just a huge Bulldog fan and got caught up in the moment. Fast forward a number of years and I met a friend of a friend who was in the crowd at Wembley for this show. I was SO jealous. Oh, and my friend's shrieking mum was also midwife to my other half when having our daughter in the late 90's. We spent WAY more time reminiscing about the old WWF stuff we'd watched in the early 90's than anything pregnancy related 😁

I'll watch it again dude no worries
I watched this earlier over lunch, now i can watch it again over dinner.
And try to figure out what's different
Heck most of these I watch on my lunch at work! Great way to spend the time I think!
@Burn it All down to support the channel, it was taken down and then reuploaded
Honestly everything Bret did in the ring in his prime was so crisp and perfectly buttery smooth, just incredible to watch.
Almost 30 years later, I still say this is one of the greatest Summerslam main event matches of all time
Side note: it's always a great pleasure rewatching awesome content from one of the best wrestling channels ever
One of the Greatest matches anywhere, ever.
Wow way to go out on a limb
Bret was so good he won every time he lost. The best there is, the best there was, the best there ever will be 🕶
Fuckin facts 💯
@@j.nich55 for real. Although he got major attention I consider him underrated
really like u Jason bruh
I always loved this match. Learning how much Bret carried Bulldog only increased my fandom.
He was a true ring general.
Knowing Bulldog was inebriated, doesn't matter. When the intros begin, I'm immediately invested: It's 1992 and I'm watching a CLASSIC! 😎👍✨🇬🇧🇨🇦🇺🇸
After Davey Boy had left the WWF for WCW/NWA; I thought that it was just okay...
Another very underrated British bulldog match is Owen Hart versus British bulldog for the first European championship match. Will you please review this match no matter how many chin locks there are
Are you sure because I saw it on shotgun Saturday night
@Phenomenal Ace you sure

Especially taking into account he had been smoking crack all summer! Mad

Brets boots are basically Air Jordan 11’s. Dope!!
You noticed too! And Bret wore them long before MJ!
No Air Jordan 11s were basically Bret's boots
All credit to Bret, I know hes not everyones cup of tea but dudes got the skills when it comes to wrestling. How many times has he made sub-par wrestlers look like a million bucks?

That's tragedy
The fact that this match went successfully was miracle given the factors leading to it. Bret Hart proved in this match he can carry someone and make a match look good no matter the circumstance.
One too many chinlocks for wwe copyright's liking.
Me: I've already watched this more than once
Also me: guess I'll watch it a few more times
Bret I’m fooked - Davey boy Smith 😂
I was Legit torn as to whom to Root for in this Match between Bret Hart and The ‘British Bulldog’ Davey Boy Smith but Great nonetheless … 🔥
glad I got in early and got to see whatever few second clips Vince wants to sit on
Do you remember what they were?
Bret is the GOAT. Everything he did was so quick and crisp and believable. Literally everything. This was already my favorite Bret match but when you learn about the story behind this and everything Bret was carrying here, it's insane.
"I'm fooked"
Bulldog:”The videos been taken down I’m Fooked!”
Wrestling bios: gotchu fam
*Chin locks the video so it doesn't go away this time.
I remember watching this match in 1992. Brett definitely carried Davey Boy Smith in this match.
A singlehandedly performance led by Bret Hart
I love that you used classic hitman theme. I'm a guitar player and can appreciate all the whammy bar dive bombs in the updated WWE theme....but I still ...I prefer the original

I'll watch this one, also.

A Davey Boy chin lock on Davey Boy Smith how IRONIC 🤣
Again, thank you so much for properly saying "Bret, I'm fooked"

They were simply upset that you got more views than Raw.
Is it weird this happened on a Monday?

This solidfied Bret as one of the all time greats and as the future of 1990s WWF.
Damn! Awesome video! Thank You. Bret Hart fan 4-ever. 👍✌️💓

The sympathy of a loss is one of the most beautiful things in wrestling. The same thing happened for Hulk when he lost to Warrior and Rock.
Hogan sucked
@@TheCrimsonTruthYouCantHandle If making hundreds of millions of dollars and becoming a pop culture icon around the globe to fans and non-fans alike "sucks", then yes.
I knew Smith had problems but I didn’t know to what extent. I didn’t know he was a crack addict
I know right. He's not even black.
im fooked has become a meme
The last one must of had too many Davey Boy Chin locks
Too hot for UA-cam
Too...chinlocky? Idk
...... I've been here before!
One of the few times where the loser of the match benefits more than the winner
Truly a classic
It's a shame that Bulldog's lifestyle got in between what it could've been a main event star. He was so good that is sad.
It's sad that Davey Boy Smith's personal demons affected him so badly but he still managed to have an excellent match Brett Hart... They both were fantastic and i wish I was older and could have watched this match live on pay per view

Hitman Chinlocks...The best there was, there best there is and the best there ever will be.
This is a re-like.
What a great match extra points because the Bulldog forgot the spots
Thank you I look forward to these uploads. Keep up the good work.
This match will always be one of my favorites. Bulldog could wrestle very well technically despite all that muscle mass. He and Brett put on a clinic.
Maybe WWE can learn from their own history there's some great storytelling here. I wish id seen the original video but top quality Wrestling Bios video as usual. Im really into this series now
According to Bret's autobiography, Bulldog and Neidhart where smoking crack all week prior to Summerslam 92. Bret carried Bulldog in the main event, Bulldog was fooked throughout the whole match.
Bret was certainly amazing, but he certainly thought a lot of himself, didn't he?
I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and they are fantastic! I was at Wembley when I was a kid at Summerslam and it was so incredible!
Quick question
Do you think summerslam will come back to the United Kingdom?
Sucks that you had to reupload this.
This match show Vince that Bret Hart could carry the company.
Road to the Wrestlemania 14 main event would be a great period for a Bios video. Austin, Michaels & Tyson. Let's see it!!
I have always felt that wretlemania 14th has been always underappreaciated its my fav wrestlemania
@@victorguzman723 it's not the best Mania but definitely my favourite also! And with the great work put into these Wrestling Bios videos I'd love to see that story covered here.

Jrs commentary after Shawn gets knocked out by Tyson is my fave part
I second your motion. It is the definite turning point for the WWF.
I'm sure he'll cover it at the right time during his Reliving the War series.
No wonder Dynamite was so bitter, his career was essentially over and two wrestlers he was at one time superior to were on top of the world
Watched it right after it was first uploaded. Now thanks to WWE copyright policy, I'm watching it again. Thanks for all the great content :)
Pretty funny bruce hart was backing davey boy, a man who would end up with his ex wife 10 years later
I watched the original and now I'm watching this just to support my guy. Much love and respect.
So nice it was re-uploaded twice so I watch 2x
Bret is truly the best all round traditional mainstream wrestler.
💯
Fooking brilliant analysis mate 👍🏻
Everyone thanks about Shawn helping his friends, but looks like bert was doing this way b4 the Bret and Shawn hate even started. Maybe Shawn has reasons for doing what he did.
Please do a Vince vs Austin Fued video as promised in Austin vs Rock Video
That Crucifix Pin was sick.11.55
This match proves just how great Bret is
Is the second match going to be covered also or has it been already. But with wwe I would understand if it wasn't with all their lame wwe policies.
Since this has be reuploaded I’ll repost my comment.
What did OSW review called Bret’s placha again? The spinning sit out sleeper slam. Lol
Can’t help but think Brett is putting himself over like crazy but I’m sure dealing with a crackhead would be frustrating.
He more than backed it up.
Bret “I DID IT ALL” HART
I need more buttery smooth suplexes in my life
For the algorithm!!!!!!! I’ll come back and watch again.
But did you smash the like button? Are your notifications on so you don’t miss an upload?
Oh, but of course!
I love the remixing of Bret’s/the Hart Foundation original theme. Any chance you can share this full version?
This match is just one of the many reasons that you can keep your Shawn Michaels... Bret might be a bit up his own arse, but he truly was the best there was, the best there is etc etc
Both were the 2 possibly best in the ring. Bret was a genius and made everything look amazing and hook you in, Shawn was spectacular and could read a crowd.
