JeffX Junior Heavyweight Posts: 30 Gender:	British Bulldogs Oct 21^st, 2009, 6:59pm Did they ever wrestle in the AWA after their run in the WWF? I seem to recall seeing them on TV, and I thought it was for AWA in the late eighties. I say that as where I live I can only remember seeing AWA, WWF, and NWA/WCW on TV.

They had a match roughly in the Central States area vs Rock & Rollers -Morton & Gibson, after leaving WWF, (others may be able to give more detail on this), mostly they worked Stampede Wrestling during this period-which included trips into Montana. At first in Stampede they continued to wrestle as a team, then split up with Dynamite turning heel, about late Aug. 89 Dynamite wrestled in the Maritimes as a face for a couple of months and retired shortly afterwards.

Here's the Bulldogs vs Rock-n-Roll card promoted by the Central States/WWA promoter Bob Geigel and All Japan Pro Wrestling.
Some one said there was an AWA Logo in the center of the ring, but the promotion was not involved!!

I saw that video on youtube. The logo does look like AWA's, but I'm not sure the video quality is not very good.

Its a real shame that the show only drew 300 people.
