Upon reading Bret Hart's autobiography, readers are constantly re-introduced to just how controversial a person Tom Billington, otherwise known as The Dynamite Kid, could be. There are numerous examples peppered throughout the pages of Dynamite complaining about his spot on the roster, or being outright jealous of what Bret was doing. There's a competitive spirit there, no doubt, but it also appears that Billington hasn't always been a very nice guy, especially during his pro wrestler career. Constant bouts of jealousy and bitterness are recanted, including a wheelchair-bound Dynamite shooting the hind legs off of rabbits in his back garden, just because he can. The documentary, 'A Matter Of Pride' includes interview footage with the man himself, again showing that he hasn't buried his grudges at all. This is definitely one example of a man never being happy with what he has, instead choosing to always be jealous of what others possess, ruining his own career through that resentment.
