10 Superstars That Hit Rock Bottom After WWE

4. Dynamite Kid

Tom Billington is known for being one-half of one of the most successful tag teams in the history of professional wrestling, the British Bulldogs. Along with the late Davey Boy Smith, Billington enjoyed success in Stu Hart's Stampede Wrestling, All Japan Pro Wrestling, New Japan Pro Wrestling and the WWF in the 70s and 80s. Now, due a large number of back and leg injuries he suffered during his career, Billington is disabled and is confined to a wheelchair. Unfortunately he has been told he will never walk again. In addition to his paralysis, Billington also has suffered from heart problems and reportedly suffered a stroke in 2013. Kid began taking steroids in 1979 when Big Daddy Ritter, aka the Junkyard Dog, introduced him to the anabolic steroid Dianabol. Billington was also rumoured to have been taking speed after being introduced to it by Jake Roberts. Kid's first wife left him on a account of 'roid rage'. Her account is available to see on 'Chris Benoit: Wrestling With Demons'. A preview to his problems are shown in this heartbreaking documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkvSYgDR1vY
