** Was supposed to retain the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwf-eu-h.html European Title]] against Shawn Michaels at the 1997 pay-per-view entitled "One Night Only" in England.

** The original British Bulldogs were Edward Heath & Jonathan Foley, [[https://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/al/gc/gc-t.html NWA Gulf Coast Tag-Team champions]] back in '75.
** When a 17-year-old Davey Boy debuted in Stampede wrestling, he was facing Wrestling/DynamiteKid in a match where he was required to bleed and he had little experience with blading, so Dynamite offered to make the cut for him despite Wrestling/BretHart's objections. Dynamite lacereted Davey Boy so badly that the Hitman had to immediately call off the match and rush him to a local hospital in genuine fear that Smith would bleed to death, predating the Wrestling/MassTransitIncident for 18 years. The difference here is that Davey Boy Smith was Dynamite's cousin.
