UK Pitbulls

Dave was originally trained by Andre Baker at NWA UK Hammerlock. Dave and Mike completed their training in late 1997 at World Association of Wrestling (WAW) of Norwich under Sweet Saraya. The UK Pitbulls name is actually a play on the World Wrestling Federation's British Bulldogs tag team name; Bulk and Big Dave were asked to wrestle as the British Bulldogs on a holiday camp but declined and suggested the name UK Pitbulls instead. The UK Pitbulls opened a professional wrestling and powerlifting gym "Pitbull Powerhouse" in Cromer, Norfolk. Here they ran a wrestling training school and also concentrated on weightlifting, strongman training, fitness weight loss, and any routine to personal requirements. Dave and Mike were directly involved in the wrestling training as well as having regular guest trainers. They also ran their own promotion, DAM Promotions (Dave and Mike Promotions), holding several shows in Holt, Norfolk. In 2008, Dave's knee collapsed during a strongman competition, and he was forced to retire. At the time of Dave's injury, The UK Pitbulls were Premier Wrestling Federation's Tag Team Champions. Mike considered retiring, but instead formed a tag team a second incarnation of the team with Big Joe. Mike also wrestles in a team called The Unnatural Disasters with Karn. In August 2018, The UK Pitbulls returned after Big Dave came out of retirement, and remain active as a tag team, as of February 2025. ==Other media==
