This one could prove tricky, with Davey Boy Smith passed and Dynamite Kid not exactly a model citizen. Still, it can't be denied what the Bulldogs meant to the WWF in the eighties, providing a distinct blur of crisp wrestling and awing showmanship that was unlike anything New York audiences were particularly used to. Certainly, Smith bolsters his own chances at an induction through the prolific singles career he had for himself, posting classic battles against in-laws Bret and Owen Hart, as well as Shawn Michaels. Dynamite deserves credit as an innovator, the Daniel Bryan of his time that knocked down barriers for smaller wrestlers, and building a following on the merit of his endless dedication to the craft. Few tag teams can say they've had had the cumulative reach of the Bulldogs.
