British Bulldog Once Drugged Pro Wrestling Booker As A Prank

Pro wrestling has changed a lot over the year, and the culture within the locker room is also a sign of the times. This means that things that used to fly decades ago might not be looked at too favorably nowadays.

The British Bulldog was a legend in and other of the squared circle. He left many memories during his lifetime, including his love of pranking people. His sense of humor was also one that could go a bit too far at times.

“Keepin’ it 100,” Konnan gave his impressions of Bulldog and reiterated how many wrestlers took drugs. This was a common practice at the time, and the British Bulldog was right along with the rest of them.

“Everybody was on pills back then. Everybody was f*cked up, especially from their generation. But Bulldog was always great. I first met him in Canada while I was in Stampede, and he was the world’s greatest practical joker.”

Konnan recounted a few tales about the British Bulldog, some of which were questionable acts, to say the least. Among these was a story about the Bulldog spiking a promoter’s soup with somas while they were working in Kuwait. However, Konnan’s own experiences with the Bulldog’s practical jokes were relatively harmless, and he managed to emerge from them unscathed.

Konnan then went on to explain how British Bulldog did prank him once, which resulted in a crazy hotel experience.

“I remember, I got into the bathroom, and this motherf*cker had taken a pen … and he put it from ‘occupied’ to ‘unoccupied’ with me knowing it,” Konnan said. “And people were opening the door and I was like, ‘What the f*ck is going on here?’ Finally, somebody smartened me up, they go ‘Bulldog.’ He would order massive amounts, and I do mean for five people, massive amounts of room service to my room and sh*t like that. He was a great practical joker, great guy.” 

The British Bulldog was finally inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, years after he should have been. Konnan has not received an induction yet, but rumor has it that he will be around to induct Rey Mysterio into the 2023 WWE Hall of Fame on March 31st.
