‘It’s priceless’: WWE Hall of Fame ring stolen in Lloydminster break-in
A WWE Hall of Fame ring belonging to the late British Bulldog was stolen during a break-in in Lloydminster, Alberta, highlighting the personal loss felt by the wrestling community.
A significant loss was reported during a break-in at a trailer belonging to Canadian Wrestling's Elite (CWE) amid a touring stop in Lloydminster, Alberta. The WWE Hall of Fame ring of the late British Bulldog, who was a renowned wrestler, was among several items stolen during this incident. This theft was particularly shocking for the wrestling community, as Harry Smith Jr., the son of the late wrestler, expressed that the ring has immeasurable sentimental value, emphasizing its priceless nature beyond monetary worth.
In addition to the Hall of Fame ring, the thieves took various belongings from the CWE trailer, which was designated as a ring truck. Items included jewelry, a gold chain, and a CWE Tag Team Championship belt, contributing to the disappointment and concern within the wrestling promotion. Smith’s recounting of the event underscores the personal ramifications of such thefts, not only depriving them of valuables but also erasing irreplaceable family heirlooms that hold deep meaning.
The incident raises broader concerns about security and the protection of personal and professional properties associated with public figures in the entertainment industry. As the CWE crew moved on to Saskatoon, the wrestling world rallied around the cause, hoping to spread awareness about the stolen items. Smith’s heartfelt appeal to potential recoveries highlights a community’s grief for one of its own while calling attention to the importance of safeguarding such meaningful possessions.
