The Dynamite Kid may have the reputation as one of the most despicable backstage bullies in the history of WWE but in front of the cameras, he was as skilled a technician as the company had ever seen.

A dynamic and explosive wrestler, who always had a little extra on each of his maneuvers, he was the prototype for the Chris Benoits and Kurt Angles that would eventually find tremendous success in the company a generation later.

Kid would not only trap an opponent in a leg vine, he would grab them up off the mat and punish them with the nastiest snap suplex fans had ever seen. He was as likely to apply a back-breaking half-crab as he was to launch himself off the top rope with a vicious and dangerous headbutt.

So devoted was he to the art of professional wrestling and making every move, hold, counter-hold, reversal and submission look as good as it possibly could, that he would end up breaking his body for it.

An immensely talented individual whose legacy lives on in fans who appreciated what he accomplished between the ropes, and what he brought to the sport, Dynamite Kid was, without a shadow of doubt, the most intense technician on this list and in the history of the sport.
