I'm assuming you mean when he came back with the jeans and work boots look (I see him as a part of the Hart Foundation as part of the attitude era).
He was just coming in off a broken back which got badly infected and was addicted to morphine. Definitely wasn't at his best and seemed like he wasn't as into it. From what I've heard McMahon requested him to wear the jeans and work boots, made no sense to me because he always had such cool gear.

I wish during either one of his heel runs in the WWF he would've have a run as World Champion. Such a missed opportunity IMO.

I agree he was more of an IC Title guy but he was great as a heel especially in 96 with the feud with HBK that a run with the World Title wouldn't of hurt. |

I wonder what would've happened if Owen was still alive at the time. Would they have reformed their team or feuded?

One single feud with Owen would've been better than all the crap Bulldog endured during the Attitude Era. |

I was glad he got an another run with the European belt but by that time the title was dead in the water. A feud with Owen could've definitely breathed new life into it. That match they had in February 97 on Raw is still one of my favorite matches from Raw in the 90s. |

i've always been biasedly against davey due to his relationship with dynamite kid. dynamite, cruel or not, built his cousin's career and davey went and exploited the bulldog name fully. he had his moments in the ring but flailed when dynamite or bret weren't around to help his career trajectory.

This. He was a solid midcarder but couldn't carry a match or feud on his own. Dynamite was just as important as Davey in their team, probably more-so due to being a better in-ring worker. And without Dynamite, Bret, HBK, or Owen, I don't remember anything important in his career besides Rocky and HHH humiliating him in 1999. |

It was odd that they didn't put him over on Vader, even for a month at that. As for his WWE run, he somehow carried The Warlord to okay matches. Those matches were never boring or a train wreck at least. |

I liked Davey but He continually messed up with Vince. Vince would never have trusted him with the World title after the events of 1992. No way no how.
He was given the main event of SSlam 92 and was on a trajectory to the world title after the planned finish. But we all know what happened....he turned up pilled up and Vince got the strap off him at the first possible opportunity then canned him over the HGH thing.

Everyone has the right to their opinions, but I think Davey had great matches with a lot of guys besides Owen, Bret, & Shawn. However i agree that those 3 may of been his top opponents. Wanted to share a rare match...Taker as the WWF champ in 91 defending against Davey Boy

had many great matches as tag team with dynamite. his 1991 run was great (vs mr perfect esp). and his SS match vs Bret is an all time best match.

I wonder what would've happened if Owen was still alive at the time. Would they have reformed their team or feuded? Davey only got the job in 1999 because Owen died and Vince wanted some members of the family to be on his side. Bulldog was an absolute mess of a man by that point, it was unlikely he'd have been brought back on his own merits. Although from the reports that Owen was to retire in a year or so anyway, I'd guess that if Bulldog had been brought back in a world where the Rocket King survived, he'd have done so alongside Owen at first, then one of them would have turned on the other and led to the feud that would end Owen's career. |

I'm not sure about that because one week before Owen died there was a UK PPV called No Mercy and I vaguely remember the WWE teasing Bulldogs return so it had to have been planned before Owen died. |

So I just watched Slamboree 93 the other night, and wow, was Davey Boy ever over in WCW! I am not sure why they didn't put the WCW World Title on him that night over Vader. He could have easily had a few months with a reign as WCW World Champion.
