1	* His victory in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlKaPSM1O9g Battle Royal at The Royal Albert Hall]]'' may be your generic match attained more by wits than by fists. Nevertheless, turning himself into the heir of the face Wrestling/AndreTheGiant's legacy was equally a AwesomeMomentOfCrowning and HarsherInHindsight.
2	** This right after a hard-knocking match against Wrestling/TheBarbarian where he also got the victory, a broken nose and a couple of loose teeth.
3	* The ''Wrestling/{{Summerslam}} 1992'' Intercontinental title match with Wrestling/BretHart, in Wembley Stadium, where the Bulldog scored the biggest win of his career in front of 80,000 UK fans. According to Bret, Davey Boy was gassed and forgot the match they'd laid out, and Bret had to walk him through much of it. Many in the business have said Davey Boy was a good "follower," and this match may be the final word on that.
4	** [[Wrestling/OwenHart Owen]] got some great work out of Davey as well, as evidenced by [[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xzg1x7_owen-hart-vs-british-bulldog-european-championship-match-wwf-raw-03-03-1997_sport this]] ''Raw'' match that was a major Match Of The Year candidate for 1997.
5	** ...all this said and for your consideration, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6khFbv8NwI0 here]] we give you a very talented 15-year-old by the name "Young David" in 1977 pitted against Wrestling/DynamiteKid, [[Characters/WWERuthlessAggression Fit Finlay]] and so many others proving his chops as a cunning and resourceful mat technician. As years went by you can watch him turn if not into one of the greatest all-arounders ever, at least into a very gifted Powerhouse.
6	** The real kicker? He was the only wrestler to defeat '''both''' Hart brothers '''clean'''.
7	* By 1999 and accepting a challenge that led to his first [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwf-hc.html WWF Hardcore Champion belt]], he just '''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSVt1rnY_cU squashed]]''' Wrestling/BigBossMan in a 59 seconds [[SquashMatch match]] including a bunkhouse brawl outside of the ring, 3 chair shots and a clotheslined baton bash. All of this just to give the strap back to Wrestling/AlSnow.
