10 Wrestlers From The 1980s Still Not In WWE's Hall Of Fame
10. The British Bulldogs
Davey Boy Smith and Dynamite Kid, The British Bulldogs, were one of WWE’s top tag teams in the 1980s. Their hard-hitting, innovative style was a precursor to later teams like The Steiner Brothers. They had some memorable matches against The Hart Foundation with whom they shared tremendous in-ring chemistry.
The British Bulldogs WWE Tag Team Championship reign included some impressive defences against teams such as Big John Studd & King Kong Bundy, The Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff, and Greg Valentine & Brutus Beefcake. They dropped the belts to The Hart Foundation after an injury to Dynamite Kid. If not for the injury, there is no telling how long they may have kept the belts. They were also successful internationally. They were two-time Stampede Wrestling International tag team champions and competed in All-Japan’s Real World Tag League.
The British Bulldogs made their mark in WWE during an era with a loaded tag team division that included Demolition, The Rockers, and The Islanders. Being one of the elite teams in WWE at that time was an accomplishment within itself and well-deserving of being recognized with induction into the WWE Hall of Fame.
