The British Bulldogs

In 1984, **The British Bulldogs** (Davey Boy Smith and Dynamite Kid) debuted in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). The British Bulldogs' first feud was with the Hart Foundation. The Bulldogs' next major feud was with the then-WWF World Tag Team Champions, The Dream Team (Greg Valentine and Brutus Beefcake). The Bulldogs wrestled Valentine and Beefcake for close to a year, coming close to - but never winning the tag titles. The stage was set for a "final" tag title match at WrestleMania 2. With "Captain" Lou Albano and Ozzy Osbourne in their corner, the duo won the WWF World Tag Team titles.

The Bulldogs continued their feud with the Dream Team and also defended regularly against the former championship team of The Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff. In December 1986, Dynamite suffered a serious back injury during a match in Hamilton, Ontario, forcing him out of the ring for a longer period of time (during this period Smith would defend the titles with various replacement partners). On January 26, 1987, the Bulldogs lost the titles to the Hart Foundation in a match that saw Dynamite so debilitated that he was carried to the ring by Smith and saw little physical action after being "knocked out" by the megaphone of the Hart Foundation's manager Jimmy Hart before he even got into the ring. Crooked referee Danny Davis then allowed the Foundation to continually double team Smith in order to get the win (all the while continuing to "check" on Dynamite, leaving the double teaming to take place). The match would air on February 7 on *WWF Superstars of Wrestling*.

After being given time off to recuperate, the Bulldogs returned to the ring to continue their feud with the Hart Foundation and Davis (who, in the storyline, cheated to help the Hart Foundation win the title). The teams met at WrestleMania III, where the Bulldogs teamed with Tito Santana to take on the trio. The Harts and Davis would win the match when Davis hit Smith with Jimmy Hart's megaphone behind the referee's back and covered him for the win.

Towards the end of the Bulldogs' title reign, they had been given a bulldog named Matilda, who would accompany them to the ring. Matilda was central to the Bulldogs' feud with The Islanders (Haku and Tama) who, along with their manager Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, "dognapped" her. After rescuing Matilda, the Bulldogs teamed with Koko B. Ware (and his parrot "Frankie") in a six-man tag team match against The Islanders and Bobby Heenan at WrestleMania IV. The match ended with a loss as Heenan covered Koko for the three-count. The Bulldogs then went on to a feud with The Rougeau Brothers (Jacques and Raymond) which included wrestling the first ever match at the inaugural SummerSlam pay-per-view at Madison Square Garden, which ended in a time limit draw.

The Bulldogs' last pay-per-view appearance was at the 1988 Survivor Series. They wrestled in a twenty-man tag team elimination match. The Powers of Pain won the match by eliminating the heel team Los Conquistadores, thus giving their team (which included The Bulldogs who had earlier been eliminated when Smash pinned Dynamite) the victory.

The Bulldogs left the WWF soon thereafter.
