5 New Generation Era Superstars who should have been WWE Champions

#2 The British Bulldog

The British Bulldog

It is hard to believe that there has never been a WWE Champion from the United Kingdom. It is even harder to believe that someone like Davey Boy Smith was never a WWE Champion. Just like Curt Hennig, The British Bulldog had the look, the physique, and the charisma to carry the company.

However, Smith also had his demons during his multiple runs in the WWE, which might have been one of the main reasons for not winning the big one. He was known as a heavy drinker, as well as getting caught using performance enhancing drugs. Those demons eventually caught up with him at the age of 39 when he died from a heart attack.

Despite not winning the WWE Championship, Smith’s trophy cabinet is full of gold. He was a one-time Intercontinental Champion, a two-time European Champion, a two-time Hardcore Champion, and a 3 time tag team champion. He should also be in the WWE Hall of Fame by now, and it’s a shame he is not.
