dolph, there's a good one on Netflix called The Resurrection Of Jake The Snake. Jake got in a bad way after retirement with various substances and the film is about Diamond Dallas Page helping him to get his life back on track. I enjoyed it

Tiger mask v dynamite kid in the early 80s in japan are well worth a watch. Working As an enhancement talent for wwf at the start of his career Mick Foley and partner were pitted against the bulldogs in a squash match, when foley offered a bit of offense Dynamite snapped and punished him with stiff blow deliberately clotheslining foley across his face and breaking his jaw.

Smith did marry into the Harts but they all came up together in Calgary.
There is story, if I remember it correctly, where Dynamite hassled Honky Tonk to the point of making him cry and got hit in the mouth with a fist of quarters in a later match for it. This resulted in them leaving the WWF and going back to Stampede, I think (or it could be the other way around.)

One of the Rougeau Bros decked Dynamite for being a bully. Hand full of quarters did the job.

Norm,
Yeah sorry he wasn't Hart's brother in law but he would stay with the Hart family for long periods and was Davey Boys cousin.
It's not just Bret who told these stories. Dynamite was a renowned prankster and bully who over stepped the mark on many occasions.

Bret Hart is davey boys brother in law mate...and Bret Hart has zero credibility. .
But granted..the dynamite did some naughty things in his time..roid rage at the heart of it.
Cannot condemn the man wholly for that..he was off his nut.
Certainly paying the price now.
Randy Savage and ultimate Warrior are another couple of big names that fell to pieces..

You only have to read Bret Hart's (His brother in law) book to find out what a horrible bloke Dynamite was.

Dynamite was a pretty unsavoury individual by all accounts.
Nonetheless, it's sad to see the state he is in.
I still enjoy wrestling to this day but today's performers will never match the likes of Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Roddy Piper et al.

"In the mean time, and in between time, that's it for another edition of Stampede Wrestling"
Mean nothing to most of you but that is where I first saw the British Bulldogs, alongside Smith's in-laws the Harts. (and Honky Tonk Man and a bunch of others.)
Proper small town stuff, 50 ish people in the venue, the lowest production values, on peasant vision tv, Saturday afternoons.

Well of course.
But seeing the state Tom Billington is in now has shocked even me.
I have been in contact with him since hearing of his plight..and thankfully plenty going on to help the fella.
