Post Dynamite Kid Shoot Interview


Some say he was the best wrestler ever, but I don't think a person needs to abuse themselves and other people to be the best at their job.

I never saw Tom Billington (a.k.a. Dynamite Kid) wrestle. He was before my time. I learned everything about him from reading Bret Hart's book and reading various other things about Dynamite Kid on the internet. If what I have read about Tom Billington is true, then that man deserved what happened to him. You can't just go around treating people however you like and think you're always going to get away with it.

Having typed that, I still think Billington is a fascinating individual. I am glad he slapped the Honky Tonk Man and made him cry - That is the only thing he did that I agree with.

I have never read Billington's bio, but I am going to at some point. I also would love to watch this documentary.

I agree. Good people make other people's lives better - Tom Billington made people's lives worst. He was a parasite.

I read a biography on the Harts and it detailed some stories about Dyanmite and Davey Boy from Stampede Wrestling and I can honestly say Dynamite Kid deserves to be crippled like he is. What an asshole.

I don't think I've ever seen an interview with Dynamite Kid that didn't have subtitles.

Also, when the subtitles say "I told the bitch off", I'm pretty sure he said "I told her to piss off".

Wigan accents are pretty hard to understand at the best of times but I couldn't make out half of what he said there. Then again, having his teeth knocked out won't have helped his diction.

Hey c'mon now, our accent isn't *that* hard to understand in general, it's mostly the older generation of Wigan folk who come with the really thick, Lancashire dialect that's hard to grasp.

Yeah, I find any conversation that begins with the words "Alreet cock" is never going to be easy to follow. The really thick accents are the worst though, I went to college with this Wigan guy and could barely understand a word he said apart from "rape". He sure did like his rape jokes

Back on topic. Interested to hear Dynamite's versions of events. Hear so much about him but always from other sources.

I am an American and I have a lot of English cousins whom I speak to on Skype all the time and I understand them fine and they understand me. Given that we all speak English, why wouldn't we know what we were saying to each other? However, I had no clue what Tom here was saying at all in the above clip. Thank goodness for the subtitles. I think it's all the drugs he takes that makes his speaking skills so poor.

Pure Dynamite was one of the first wrestling biographies I read, It's a fun little read if you go into it with the right mindset. Dynamite's point of view is kind of predictable - (he's always right in every situation he's ever been in, He's the toughest guy who ever lived so everytime somebody beat him up, he was tripleteamed or something, ect.) IE typical Bully BS. Looking past all that, there's some very fun moments to be had from reading it. Stories about his no dq matches with Bad News Brown in Stampede, the famous Honky Tonk Man story, stuff that Harley Race and Magnificent Muraco did while they were wasted, & a story about killing a goat for an African wrestler's christmas dinner spring to mind.

I am currently reading his book and I am enjoying the hell out of it. I don't think he is as much as a prick as I thought he was and he seemed like he was just a product of his environment - i.e. He fucked with people so they wouldn't fuck with him.

EDIT - The above were my thoughts early on in the book. Well, I finished the book, and while I may understand him better, he is still a major prick and a bully.
