WWF World Tag Team Champions British Bulldogs vs Dream Team - MSG 5/19/86

The Dream Team is coming off losing their tag team titles to British Bulldogs at Wrestlemania II and this is the MSG rematch. From the prematch it seems that perhaps the reason for Beefcake’s lack of participation in the Wrestlemania II match was supposed to foreshadow a babyface turn, but they did not pull the trigger until next year. The new Dream Team strategy seems to be get Beefcake involved more and cheat all the same. The Bulldogs focus on arm work and overwhelming the Dream Team with quickness and crispness. The Bulldogs just are not good at drawning the imaginary diagonal line as they are susceptible to be tied up the wrong corner and the Hammer crashing down. It does not last long as Dynamite rocks and rolls and sends Valentine down hard on TIMBAH! The Hammer responds with a rabbit punch to Dynamite on a suplex attempt and the Dream Team double team Dynamite liberally. The Dream Team are excellent at suffocating their opponent in the corner. Beefcake hits his one good move a match a big backbreaker. But he should have stopped while he was ahead when he hurts himself on a suplex. What a loser! Davey Boy gets a short burst of a hot tag that is punctuated with a running powerslam, but Valentine is there to break it up.  Valentine misses his elbows and now here comes Dynamite and he has Valentine reeling. Shoves him down and now a standing headbutt for only two. Valentine is on the ropes, but using the trunks he sends Dynamite into Beefcake’s boot. Valentine takes advantage with the figure-4, but Davey Boy saves. Valentine follows up with an elbow to the escaping Dynamite and Johnny V hooks the leg. 1-2-3! NEW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! WAIT! The ref saw it and waives it off and Dynamite rolls Valentine up to win. ***1/2
