The British Bulldog won his first and only IC Title at SummerSlam 1992.

This match is often referred to as the best match in SummerSlam history, and one of the greatest matches in WWE history in general. Bret Hart and his brother-in-law, Davey Boy Smith, the British Bulldog, closed the show at the jam-packed Wembley Stadium in the summer of 1992. It was the only 'big 4' PPV ever held outside of North America, and WWE decided to do it big.

Davey Boy would win the Intercontinental Championship from Bret to close the event to a massive crowd reaction. Bret, a friend, family member, and proud champion relinquished his championship belt to the Bulldog and allowed the new champ to celebrate with his family.

It was emotional, it was fast-paced, it was a technical marvel. This match was pretty much exactly what most fans would likely be looking for in a professional wrestling match. How else could you expect a big-time Bret Hart match to go down? At this point in his career, The British Bulldog, while obviously known for his physique, was mostly known for being a tag team star and an outstanding professional wrestler. He showed his ability to hang with one of the greatest Superstars of all time and did it in front of 80,000 fans.
