Part 6/7:
Following WrestleMania, Valentine’s wrestling journey continued to evolve. Before losing the IC belt to Santana, he teamed up with Brutus Beefcake to form the legendary “Dream Team,” a tag team that became a staple in WWF (now WWE).
The idea for their partnership was conceptualized by bookers like George Scott, Vince McMahon, and Pat Patterson, who recognized their good chemistry together. Valentine explains that their initial matches against teams like Windham and Rotunda (the Rotundo brothers, later known as the U.S. Express) laid the groundwork for their successful tag team run. Their chemistry and seamless teamwork led them to win the tag team belts, marking a significant chapter in Valentine’s career.
