UK Pitbulls The UK Pitbulls were a professional wrestling tag team that consisted of brothers Bulk ( Mike Waters , born 1978 ) and Big Dave ( Dave Waters , born 1971 ) . Their motto was " " if we don ' t beat you , we eat you ! " " . They held a number of titles in the United Kingdom , notably in their own promotion and in some minor United States promotions . Their career as a tag team ended when Dave Waters sustained a crippling injury in a strongman contest which left him in a wheelchair . They are 20 time Tag team champions . Individual professional wrestling careers . Bulk . Bulk ( Mike Waters ) is part of the Rock band " Spot " , which formed in 1996 , playing the drums as " Big Mike " with Chris ( guitar ) , Ollie ( bass ) , and Bub ( guitar and vocals ) . Bulk left the band for a short time to feature in another band " OVER – BORED " . Most of 2007 has been taken up recording with his band SPOT , who have signed to HellCat records and recorded songs for a successful movie franchise . SPOT have now disbanded and Mike is busy with his other band projects and is due to be married to Sheena on Halloween 2009 . Mike has formed a new band called The Pocket Godzillas and they can be found on Myspace . Big Dave . Big Dave competed heavily in strongman competitions from 1990 to 2000 and has reached the UK finals three years running , gaining second place in 1995 . In 1996 , he was ranked # 1 in the UK and Europe , he competed in the universally recognized competitions , such as the " Britain ' s Strongest Man " and " UK ' s Strongest Man " events , that were shown regularly on mainstream British television as well as SKY TV and shown in the USA and Europe . However as of August 2003 , Dave retired from strongman competition to pursue a full – time career in professional wrestling . However , Dave occasionally returns to run strongman competitions , and has spent most of 2007 coaching Richard " Bomber " Hudson for the Worlds Strongest man events . It was at a recent strongman event that he suffered his career ending injury . Dave used to own and run the " Pitbull Powerhouse Gym " in Cromer , Norfolk , which was open to the public and also has a pro - wrestling training facility as part of the setup . Dave and Mike were directly involved in the wrestling training as well as having regular guest trainers . The gym is now closed due to Dave ' s career ending injury in the Britains most powerful man comp on the 29th June 2008 in Kent . Dave dislocated his left knee , fully ruptured the left patella tendon , fully ruptured his right quad tendon and ruptured his right quad muscle . He was in hospital for 3 weeks , in double leg casts - groin to foot - for 8 weeks , he then suffered a deep vein thrombosis and was on warfarin for 4 months . The right leg is now ok but his left knee op failed , he recently had an MRI ( feb 12th 2009 ) scan and is waiting for a date for another op - he is currently on crutches and has to use a wheelchair quite a bit . Dave was trained originally by Andre Baker at NWA UK Hammerlock . However , Dave and Mike completed their training in late 1997 at WAW of Norwich under Sweet Saraya . The UK Pitbulls name is actually a play on the World Wrestling Federation ' s British Bulldogs tag team name ; Bulk and Big Dave were asked to wrestle as the British Bulldogs on a holiday camp but declined and suggested the name UK Pitbulls instead . The UK Pitbulls gimmick is not similar to that of the Extreme Championship Wrestling tag team The Pitbulls . In 2000 , they held 7 different tag team titles in minor UK promotions such as WAW as well as overseas . The UK Pitbulls opened a wrestling and powerlifting gym " Pitbull Powerhouse " in Cromer , Norfolk . Here they ran a wrestling training school and concentrated on the heavier side of weightlifting , strongman training , fitness weight loss , and any routine to personal requirements . They also ran their own promotion , DAM Promotions ( Dave and Mike Promotions ) , holding several shows in Holt , Norfolk . They were known for constantly getting over as firm fan favourites despite being hated in other parts of the country . The shows raised over £8000 for various charities . The UK Pitbulls also helped out at other charity events all over the country . In 2007 , the pair were working mainly abroad and with each other on non - wrestling projects , but maintained a busy schedule nonetheless . Mid 2008 The UK Pitbulls are no more due to Dave ' s career ending injuries . Mike is still wrestling occasionally for some UK companies . Other media . The UK Pitbulls have appeared on local TV , Trisha , Documentaries on Five and ITV2 , in an independent film called " Slumber Party " and the BBC 6 o ' clock news . The UK Pitbulls would also appeared on Channel 4 ' s The Big Breakfast , and in 2003 they filmed several segments for MTV ' s " Dirty Sanchez " and ITV ' s Celebrity Wrestling . Mike recently filmed a speaking part in Danny Dyers forthcoming film " Malice in Wonderland "
