In 1996 they were involved in an intense feud with the Eliminators which saw Francine receive Total Elimination two different times. One of the matches was a three-on-three dog collar match which saw Francine with the Pitbulls and Stevie Richards with the Eliminators. The Pitbulls got the win after Francine pinned Stevie Richards who was knocked out on the mat. Afterwards the Eliminators gave Total Elimination to Pitbull #1, Pitbull # 2, and Francine. The Pitbulls won the ECW Tag Team Championship on September 16, 1995 from Raven and Richards.^[1] One month later they lost the titles back to Raven and Richards.^[1] The Pitbulls never reclaimed ECW Tag Team gold again.
