The Pitbulls (often written Pit Bulls) were a tag team in Extreme Championship Wrestling that consisted of "Pitbull #1" Gary Wolfe & "Pitbull #2" Anthony Durante. The pair would often use an aided superbomb to finish of an opponent and were managed by Francine for a short while; she was quickly dubbed "The Beastmaster."
