Tommy Atkins Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Is it true that this is the first ever WWE PPV main event where all competitors used their real name given at birth? Seems very unlikely but off the top of my head, I can't think of one before this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Atkins Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 Just thought of Bret Hart vs Davey Boy Smith at SummerSlam 92 and IYH 5. You could maybe argue that Davey was being billed as "The British Bulldog" at the time I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members JNLister Posted June 30, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 30, 2011 I think Hart-Smith is the only one before Angle-Lesnar. Â Three close misses in Bret Hart vs Bam Bam Bigelow, Lawrence Taylor vs Bam Bam Bigelow, and Bret Hart vs Psycho Sid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Tommy! Posted June 30, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 30, 2011 Bret Vs Backlund wasn't main the main was it, despite being a title match. Â That's about the earliest I can think of that comes close out side Bret Vs Bulldog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted June 30, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 30, 2011 I was going to say Bret Hart v Jerry Lawler, but they never headlined. Gutted . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members PunkStep Posted June 30, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 30, 2011 Hart/Smith doesn't count IMO, Davey Boy was always billed simply as the British Bulldog during his solo run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted June 30, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 30, 2011 Hart/Smith doesn't count IMO, Davey Boy was always billed simply as the British Bulldog during his solo run. No he wasn't. He was as much the British Bulldog as Steve Austin was "Stone Cold". Davey Boy Smith was used throughout his first run. The Royal Albert Hall show where Alfred Hayes yells "DAVEY BOY, YA PULLED IT OFF AHHHHHHH THATS TREMENDOUS" sticks in my head to this day. Â EDIT: Just watched the start of the Bulldog vs Hart match at SummerSlam. People talk about WrestleMania III or WrestleMania X7, but its hard to think of anyone more over than Smith on that night. The pop never seemed to stop as he walked to the ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
