Davey Boy Smith Jr. Says His Father Sometimes Sided With Shawn Michaels Over Bret Hart

– During a recent interview on the X-Pac 12360 podcast, Davey Both Smith Jr. discussed his father’s (late WWE Superstar British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith) relationship with his uncle, Bret Hart, and even sometimes siding with Shawn Michaels instead. Below are some highlights (transcript via WrestlingInc.com).

Smith on how his father would sometimes side with Shawn Michaels: “Growing up I loved Shawn Michaels, [Sean Waltman], Kevin Nash, Scott Hall and everybody. It always seemed to me that Bret always had more of an issue with the Kliq than Davey [Boy Smith] did. Depending on what kind of relationship Davey was having with Bret at the time if they were getting along, not getting along. One day you’d talked to Davey and him and Bret were cool and the next time he’d be taking Shawn’s side on things. Kinda like the weather.”

Smith on what it was like growing up with Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels having heat: “For me growing up it was interesting, it was always intense. You always know that between Bret and Shawn there was always real heat. And that’s something that is kinda missing from nowadays cause not many people have real heat like that. But they were always professional. Sometimes these make the best matches.”
