Bobby Heenan's bulldog-based banter highlighted a thoroughly enjoyable battle between his Islanders, The British Bulldogs and Koko B Ware that ended in the second consecutive six-man loss for the UK pair on the 'Show Of Shows'.

Utility players to their own detriment, Dynamite Kid and Davey Boy Smith wouldn't ever win on pay-per-view again before leaving the company under a cloud at the end of the year.

Even after putting in another claim for match-of-the-night honours and getting the boy-popping chase spot with 'The Brain' and their mutt Matilda, the two were again saddled with the losing end of the mythical purse money. Had Dynamite Kid seen some more coins here, there's a chance he might have spotted the ones that later came his in a balled-up fist.
