As the name suggests, he is the son of late great British wrestler and one-half of the legendary tag team ‘The British Bulldogs’, Davey Boy Smith. Inheriting the impressive strength and wrestling prowess of his father, Smith Jr. is considerably agile for someone of his size.

Making his wrestling debut at the age of 15, Davey Boy Smith Jr. could be called a tag team specialist, considering the success he's had in this form of wrestling. He is a former WWE and World Tag Team Champion.

In Japan, he joined the stable Suzuki Gun and formed a dominant tag team with Lance Archer. Their team, called the Killer Elite Squad (K.E.S), has held the tag team championship in both NJPW and Pro-Wrestling NOAH.

With an array of power moves in his arsenal, Smith Jr. is capable of delivering an impressive match, provided he gets the right opponent. Unfortunately, he doesn’t possess the aura and ring presence of his father, something which has barred him from achieving success as a singles wrestler.
