According to Bret, the other wrestlers didn’t take kindly to someone as soft as HTM joking about a legendary hard man like Race. Dynamite was good friends with and idolized Race, and backhanded HTM off of his chair for that. Bret said that HTM cried like a baby and begged for forgiveness for that. Sorry for the novel there 😅

The issue was between Dynamite Kid and Jacques Rougeau, because Curt Henng pulled a rib on Dynamite putting weights in his bag, and then said Rougeau did it. Dynamite was holding a coffee in each hand.

100% Whatever he did outside of the ring, the fact is he was one of the best wrestlers ever in it. In his prime, he was far more electric than almost every more famous wrestler.

Proof, if it was needed, that it wasn't Dynamite Kid that was the problem, but the boots!

The Kid's roid rage really took over. When I ran an engineering company I took on this young lad who was hugely into body image. He was hard working, polite, kind and a great team player. After 12 months his atritude changed completely, he was aggressive, resentful, angry, and got into fights with colleagues. I discovered he was self dosing on Testosterone and roids... had to fire him 3 months later for hitting a colleague.

@@pmc8451 some clarification, Jacques wasn’t in the mafia, but he made up to Dino Bravo that he had connections to the mafia. Think the story is on a WSI podcast told by Jacques.

What a lot of people don’t know is Tom and Davy were descended from a family of public executioners “The Billington’s” operated for a number of years in the late 1800’s and into the 1900’s conducting hangings for the state. Unfortunately, they also suffered from the congenital thickness and there were many incidents of botched hangings and one of them killing himself by drunkenly falling through his own trap door. They were eventually put out of business by the Pierrepoints. There was also a psychotic bare knuckle boxer in the Billington family, who would go out and beat up anyone who dare pass the window of his house - sounds Dynamite came from the same test tube. So judging by this prime DNA, the observation there is something unsettling about Dynamite is probably founded 😂

There is a British ITV bout I remember seeing at the time where Dynamite and Fit Finley go at it. I remember it because it was terrifying in its ferocity (I think I was 12). My feeling at the time was that something went wrong, as both wrestlers looked hurt, and I am pretty sure that the ring floor was damaged with one of the boards splintered and broken. If memory serves me correctly Finley won in a sudden ending which again added to the feeling that something had gone wrong. If you ever find the footage I would love you to do video on it, as it was an amazing piece of athleticism from both wrestlers.

" Man cannot get in room." Dynamite's back gave out in Hamilton Ontario in 88. This is why left. He lost 2 discs that had been pulverized and had multiple back surgeries after leaving WWF. Note he didn't go to Japan and Davey Boy carried on without him.

And the best is dynamite kid was only 5'7" while most of the guys were over 6'4"

Dynamite Kid Tommy Billington is hands down the GOAT! his singles matches before the Bulldogs was amazing his matches & Bulldogs matches in Japan really shows how great thy were, and the tournament when 3 matches in 1 night Dynamite won Jr Heavyweight title he was so far ahead of his time and gave his life & body to the sport. RIP Tommy

I remember The Dynamite Kid's first TV match against Alan Dennison. Even then, at only 17, he was clearly a phenomenal talent. A great match, which can be found on KZread😎

Dynamite is the reason smaller wrestlers are where they are now. He started a style never seen on western wrestling before. His lifestyle/behaviour outside the ring is not great at all, but alot of wrestlers ranked higher also are horrible people. Truthfully tho, Davey trademarking British Bulldog was such a back stab. You would atleast give a % to the other half or let them also use the name

Bwahahaha! That ending was fucking dark, and I love it!

The ending is just sad. By all accounts, Benoit was just an incredibly hard working and well liked young man back then. Even Dynamite wasn't to know what was to come. When Tom found out what Chris did, did it break him? Or was he already broken beyond redemption by then?

Additionally, if nobody else could understand French, how would anyone _know_ what was being said? Just sounds like paranoia to me. Dynamite said in his book that when Canadian fans would jeer him in French, he wouldn't give a crap, because he couldn't understand what was being said. So, why the bother about Jacques and Raymond supposedly saying bad things about him in French? Dynamite contradicted himself. The man was wound tighter than a cheap watch, hard to take him seriously when he said things like this.
