How's that for a promo pic? New WWF Tag-Team Champs The British Bulldogs, their manager 'Captain' Lou Albano and ex-Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne. It's like the world's weirdest Survivor Series team, and it never would have happened had the company not played ball with Dynamite's demands.
Before he and Davey Boy's famous WrestleMania 2 win over Brutus Beefcake and Greg Valentine, Kid caught wind of the idea that booking plans might change.
