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. He was furious, and he told Chief Jay Strongbow that it was belts or bust. If he and Smith weren't going to be champions after all, then they'd leave the WWF and head to Japan.

That caused friction between both partners.

Davey Boy's easy-going attitude is one Dynamite grew to dislike. Their previously solid friendship was ruined when Kid's hardheadedness and Smith's desire to stay with the WWF collided, and things would worsen over time.
