#2 His final WWE match was against Eddie Guerrero

During a May 2000 episode of Sunday Night Heat, Smith would storm into the locker room of Chyna and then-European Champion Eddie Guerrero. Accusing Guerrero of not respecting the championship he held, Bulldog would challenge Latino Heat for the belt that very night. The match ended in a double disqualification.

Both Smith and Guerrero would pass away within a few years of each other.

Smith's career, while one worthy of a Hall of Fame induction, always seemed to never quite live up to the expectations placed on it. Whether it be from lack of motivation, struggles with substance abuse, backstage politics, or simply bad luck, Davey Boy never reached that world championship status that many of us really thought he would eventually attain.

Guererro, on the other hand, had many of the same hurdles throughout his own career, but eventually overcame them and won that world championship that had eluded the Bulldog his whole career. It's almost as if, in a strange way, Davey Boy was telling Eddie in this match "do better than I did."

Or maybe not. Anyway, the point is, Davey Boy wrestled Eddie in his last WWE match and you probably didn't know that. So there you go.
