When you watch this as a kid you are inclined to root for the Bulldogs. As an adult years later, you notice other things: for instance, Nikolai and Zhukoff did an excellent job of selling moves throughout this match.
I wonder what was going on at 0:27... I have the feeling Nikolai was arguing with the ring announcer cause they forgot to let them do their 'singing of the Soviet national anthem' shtick.
They both started in England. Bruce Hart scouted Dynamite during a match in England, told his Dad about him & they had him come over. It was Dynamite who told them about his cousin Davey, so on Dynamite’s recommendation they had Davey come over to Calgary too. In my opinion The Dynamite Kid is the greatest to ever lace up a pair of boots. He was light years ahead of everyone else. Imagine if he hadn’t been injured & the matches he could have had with a 90s version of HBK, even the 90s version of Bret. Could have also wrestled Angle & a prime Benoit…I could go on & on. 🧨
Man you could tell the Bulldogs were almost gone. Everyone and their grandma was easily beating the Bolsheviks at this time and the Bulldogs only went over by countout in 15 minutes.
Maybe, but they were also hugely over in Boston.. the crowd was loving every minute of it ! This was more in-line with a Bulldogs style match than the typical squashes of the time
It’s funny how they sold Dynamite shoulder blocking guys 100lbs heavier off their feet! Although solid, 469lbs combined, Davey must have been a billed 250-260 of them. Dynamite probably 180-190 being billed around 220.
@lugcastillo they were popular heels in WWF but Brett Hart really blew up , had more success in singles (solo) and became known around the world in his prime.
Is your comment supposed to shock people? Of course they weren't Russians, everyone that played a Russian in wrestling during the cold War wasn't really from that country.

Exactly what I thought, Zhukov was very agile and could take a high back drop at his size. Volkoff not so much, very strong but a bit sloppy.
Earlier that month, Vince requested that the ring announcers mention Matilda along with The Bulldogs
I loved it when wwf had matches at the Boston Garden!
my favorite tag team the bulldogs who knows what they couldve achieved had dynamite not injured his back badly
Drugs
Yep
So true.
Both descendants of the Victorian executioners, the billington family during 19th century
Bulldogs really dominated a lot of the match.
What a power slam!

I watched both Dynamite and Davey when they started out. They started in Calgary with Stu Hart and Stampede Wrestling.

Scorpion death lock or Sharpshooter applied by Davey Boy
I'm not sure if the bulldogs are in the hall of fame but they should be this was the era for the tag team division

Thank you
8:15 Davey Boy using the sharpshooter! How 'bout that!
Great Federation action I remember these days when I was a kid.
So you know both dynamite and davey boy were both from Golborne in Wigan, probably closer to Liverpool than Manchester, an yes they were cousins.. 👍
Dynamite and Davey Boy are 29 and 25 here, respectively.
Back then, I called that tag team The Bullshitviks.
Refs not doing their job properly since 1988
Whoosh...Refs fr those days till now the same.
I can't believe both bulldogs are gone RIP to them, Lord Alfred Hayes, Earl Hebner, Nikolai Volkoff... all gone 😭😞
Earl Hebner?! Dave Hebner has passed away but I’m pretty sure Earl is still alive.
@bencash4198 Earl Heber is still his brother died
Great actors 😊
35year ago😮❤
5:26 Dynamite Kid is going after the referee

RoadWarriors ,British Bulldogs, Steiners,and the Demolition had to be Mount Rushmore of tagteams.
The killer bees 🐝 ?
@@lugcastillo 2nd tier. They were acrobatic
@carlwallace1129 and the Heart Foundation 💓?

First time I've seen the Bolsheviks lose when Boris wasn't pinned ... of course it was a count out and Nikoli didn't take the fall either.
RIP Gorilla and Bobby.
zhukov actually played by a american and volkoff was croation, so much for bolsheviks.
I thought Zhukov was Canadian.
Is your comment supposed to shock people? Of course they weren't Russians, everyone that played a Russian in wrestling during the cold War wasn't really from that country.
And Papa Shango and Kamala were just normal American dudes.
Mick Foley must really get your goat with all his gimmicks lol.
As a Croatian, Nikolai was born behind the Iron Curtain. That’s about as close to being a native Soviet as you get in American wrestling.
Was there a treat on his foot? 😂
Davey Boy Kid and Dynamite Smith
懐かしいギミック。、
だけどみんな仕事の出来るレスラーでしたね。
These Russians may have crossed paths in Bill Watt's Mid-South wrestling when Boris was there and known as Boris Zurkoff (rhymes with jerkoff)
The Incompetentcy at his best = Earl Hebner (the worst Referee ever been in wrestling). 🙃
Dynamite Smith and Dan Hefner.. old lord Alford has been drinking a bit to much of the bean town beer 🍺
Damn those pesky foreign objects!
Rest in peace Metallica
Volkoff is croatian
Typical No Sell BullDogs .... Push Push ..
Are the Russians still alive?
Nikolai died in 2018, Boris is still alive
@@thefreestylefrEaK Nikolai is
Zhukov is still alive.
