What with Harry “D.H.” Smith’s suspension on Friday night, the “British Bulldog” Davey Boy Smith and Harry “D.H.” Smith are now the first and only father-son combo to be suspended by World Wrestling Entertainment at one point in their respective careers due to substance abuse violations. Bret Hart revealed in his newly released autobiography Hitman: My Real Life in the Cartoon World of Wrestling that Davey Boy Smith received a six-week suspension in May 1992 for testing positive for steroids.
