I think the real reason was that the drugs he was on made this happen, even good ol Davey admits it and everyone in WWE knew something was wrong: youtu.be/Fgl15DCc7_0?t=56s

I hated it.
He wore jeans, he was a heel, he had dogs barking as his theme
All his Britishness had been stripped away.

I never understood the jeans thing. I thought that was the weirdest aspect of all.

Was Regal around back then?
If he was, I'd have had Regal as Davey Boy's manager/occasional tag team partner as a heel British team.
Would have been cool

I figured the jeans, apart from the whole Attitude and wrestling in street clothes kind of vibe, was just Davey Boy going with a bovver boy image as a heel.
If you don't know, a bovver boy is a stereotypical skinhead type gang thug. All rough jeans and big heavy boots for kicking people.

With the jeans and that shitty dog barking theme, Davey boy looked like a real life version of a generic video game CAW.
That and it really doesn't say much that one of the most remembered low lights during his final run was getting rock bottomed into a plate of dog shit

I could only think that the one time he wore tights was in the Six-Pack Challenge at Unforgiven 1999. Funny thing, I remember recognizing his tights as the exact same ones he wore at Wrestlemania XII, which I rented and watched a few weeks before back then.

I will forever remember him for constantly saying at Rebellion "A WANT MA TATTLE SHOT!" and smashing Steph Mcmahon's head with a trash can. Oh yes he was all over that Rebellion wasn't he? Demanding title shots, interfered in Chyna's match against Jeff Jarrett, wrestled X-Pac and interfered in the main event. I think that was the only time something from the UK PPVs was mentioned on "US" TV. Stephanie got amnesia from the trash can (I enjoyed Vince's "GET ME A MEDIC DAMMIT!!"), Which partly led to the McMahon-Helmsley facgime.

Would have been cool I think it would have been cool if they feuded against each other over who the Real Man's Man. And Regal is the reason Bulldog turns heel as he feels his own people love Regal more than him.

At least he won the Hardcore Title one more time in his home country at Insurrextion 2000.
