Solid in most aspects, but not a wrestling Jesus like is often said.

7

Also, as far as politics went - Tom basically followed Bulldog's lead on a lot of shit, and never opened his own mouth when he should have; that may / may not have cost him here and there.

BUT, a factor that still may have hurt him even if he tried to speak for himself may have been his personal problems. At last check, it's hard to take someone who is drunk and/or high and/or cracked out on steroids all that seriously when they are trying to make a deal with you. In any case, he wasn't much of a deal worker or all that great in standing up for himself when he needed to.

Over-rated. He was decent, but was never sensational. Has achieved a legacy he didn't really proove worthy of achieving when he was an active worker. Solid, at times entertaining, but not a great.

Good but not great. It was originally going to be a 7 but I gave him the extra .5 because I hear he is an asshole.

I am giving him a 10 because the entire ratings are skewed.

He doesn't deserve a ten, but he's getting one because DiBiase, Owen, Pillman, etc. don't deserve to be higher than him.

I've been watching some of his matches on TWC, really good stuff. Seemed to be doing stuff that not many were doing at the time.
I'll give him a 10.

OMG!!.. Dynamite Kid is a Billington?!! :eek:

I wonder if im related to him.. (Billington is my surname aswell)

He gets a 10 for that alone.

I'm not taking anything away from the man, because I really liked his wrestling style. However, I'd like to know what Dynamite Kid has accomplished that warrants a 10.

Because Jim Ross says his name as much as Triple H, Randy Orton and Arn Anderson....

basically everything you see Benoit do (flying headbutt, quickness in the ring), he got from Dynamite.

What did DK do exactly to make Benoit quick?

What? Maybe Owen, but Dibiase and Pillman yeah. DK was all in ring work, which was beyond great, but nothing else really. He couldn't talk and had no charisma or anything. But he was well before his time as far as wrestling skill. But as far as having the whole package, nah.

^ I guess that's why Chris Benoit patterns himself so much like DK lol

He was the lesser of the bulldogs..Davey accomplished more, and offered more to the table. DK was a damn good wrestler but that is all.

I'll give him a 8....

just on Reputation Alone...Sadly I have only seen one of his matches, except the win that was on the Foley DVD, which is a jobber match.

Voting Closed, Edge coming up soon
