*Could a referee actually rig the WWF? In 1987, one man did the unthinkable.* Before the Montreal Screwjob, there was "Dangerous" Danny Davis. He wasn't just a referee; he was the ultimate "Inside Job." For over a year, Davis manipulated matches, fast-counted legends, and eventually traded his striped shirt for a wrestling singlet and a spot in the Hart Foundation. In this documentary, we dive deep into one of the most brilliant long-term storylines of the 80s Golden Era. We look at the corruption that led to the British Bulldogs losing their Tag Team titles, Tito Santana’s lost Intercontinental gold, and the eventual cinematic payoff at WrestleMania III in front of 93,000 fans. *In this video, we explore:* * *The Double Life:* How Danny Davis worked as the masked "Mr. X" while officiating. * *The Slow Burn:* The subtle "glitches" in Davis’s refereeing that built 18 months of heat. * *The Heist:* The night the British Bulldogs were robbed in cold blood. * *The Payoff:* The 6-man tag match at WrestleMania III and Davis’s transition to a full-time heel wrestler. * *The Legacy:* How Davis became the blueprint for the "Evil Referee" trope in WCW, WWE, and beyond. Was Danny Davis the most hated man in wrestling history, or just a man who knew how to play the system? Let’s look at the career of the man who turned "The stripes" into a weapon. #WWF #WrestlingHistory #DannyDavis #HartFoundation #WrestleMania #80sWrestling #ProWrestling #BritishBulldogs #BretHart
