Smith, the son of “The British Bulldog” Davey Boy Smith, was first signed by WWE in 2006 and wrestled there as “DH Smith” until his release in 2011.
After his WWE release, he mostly wrestled in New Japan Pro-Wrestling, where he was an IWGP Tag Team Champion with Lance Archer three times. Since 2018, he’s also been wrestling in MLW, where he was part of a new “Hart Foundation” stable with Teddy Hart and Brian Pillman Jr.
Smith inducted his late father into the WWE Hall of Fame this year during WrestleMania weekend.
