10 Famous Wrestlers No One Liked Working With
6. The Dynamite Kid
Owen Hart was widely beloved among his peers (excluding a certain Rattlesnake he infamously injured) for his hilarious ribs. Goofy and lighthearted in nature, Hart's pranks kept things fun and interesting while on the road.
In contrast, The Dynamite Kid's idea of practical jokes were straight up brutal. From spiking people's drinks with obscene laxative doses to cutting up their ring gear, Kid was an out-and-out sadist. Most disturbing of all (at least amongst "the boys") was Davey Boy Smith coming to him for help with obtaining steroids. Instead of assisting his tag partner, Kid shot the British Bulldog up with milk.
The cruelty didn't end with his life-wrecking pranks. Kid was a surly brute between the ropes, often eviscerating jobbers with murderously stiff offence. A young Mick Foley even wound up eating through a straw for several weeks after Kid rearranged his jaw with a decapitating lariat.
The diving headbutt master was so reviled that when Jacques Rougeau knocked his teeth out in a bar scuffle, the French-Canadian was widely celebrated for it.
Despite his outstanding work rate, the Dynamite Kid is frequently more remembered these days for his shocking antics outside of the ring.
