10 Backstage WWE SummerSlam Facts You Probably Didn’t Know

8. British Bulldog 'Forgot' Entire 1992 Classic With Bret Hart

SummerSlam '92 was a big moment for both Bret Hart and Davey Boy Smith. 

For Hart, it was a chance to headline a historic pay-per-view, in front of a record crowd against a beloved family member. For Smith, it was a homecoming and an opportunity to play the hero in front of tens of thousands of his countrymen. 

While The Hitman took things seriously and did his due diligence beforehand, Bulldog was less concerned with proper preparation. According to Bret and others, Smith had been MIA in the weeks beforehand, and when they eventually caught up the night before the show he confessed that he had spent the summer indulging in some serious drug use with Jim Neidhart.  

Not only was he not in the requisite shape to work a long match, he also forgot what the pair had mapped out just moments after the bell rang. 

Thankfully, the Excellence of Execution took charge and basically (with some assistance from referee Joey Marella) carried his brother-in-law to a masterpiece. 

That nobody was able to tell just how lost and in such poor condition Davey Boy was is a testament to the talent of Bret Hart.
