Over 80,000 rabid fans packed the historic Wembley Stadium in London to witness a match for the ages as Bret Hart defended his WWF Intercontinental Championship against The British Bulldog.
The London fans erupted as The Bulldog made his way down the aisle, accompanied by the hometown hero and reigning Commonwealth Heavyweight Boxing Champion Lennox Lewis. This was destined to be a historic event counter from the beginning of the storyline. With the close family ties and the tremendous amount of respect they each had for the other, this is what main event attractions should feel like.
After nearly a full half-hour of highly competitive, top-tier action, the final minutes were a legendary exhibition of what fundamental wrestling is supposed to look like. But only one man could leave with the Intercontinental Title. That man was the NEW WWF Intercontinental Champion, The British Bulldog.

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
