10 Things We Learned From Dark Side Of The Ring: Dynamite Kid
9. His Bitter Approach To Being Champ
Together, Dynamite Kid and Davey Boy Smith ruled the wrestling world as the British Bulldogs. Their combination of speed and power made them one of the best tag-teams around, and they finally captured the WWF belts at WrestleMania II from The Dream Team.
Was Dynamite a happy champ? No, not quite.
VICE's doc claims that he wanted to put those chasing the titles through the same kind of hell he'd been through as a young rookie at 'The Snake Pit' in Wigan, England. According to Foley, that gruelling experience made Dynamite bitter towards wrestlers who didn't come up the same way.
He didn't view being WWF Tag Champs with Smith as some chance to lead by example. Instead, Dynamite snarled at those who hadn't gone through everything he had. It's probably just as well the Bulldogs dropped those straps to Bret Hart and Jim Neidhart then; both had come through Stu Hart's infamous 'Dungeon'.
