10 Wrestlers Who Were Notoriously Difficult To Work With
7. Dynamite Kid
The Dynamite Kid did nothing by halves. The most intense among us rarely do, and Tom Billington was intense. A preternaturally gifted pro wrestler, his sheer commitment to bumping - watch every last one of his matches, and you will wince at the way the canvas explodes with the aural horror of a shotgun blast - was matched by his commitment to being a total c*nt.
That's a deplorable word, but then, he was a deplorable man. It is as perfect a match for him as Tiger Mask was.
The Kid injected his own flesh and blood, in the a*se, with milk. He tore a ligament in a young Mick Foley's jaw with a lariat; if you couldn't keep up with him, then tough t*tties. That was your problem. He sh*t in bags, and cut up the gear of his fellow performers. He tormented Jake 'The Snake' Roberts' living gimmick. He spiked referees with laxatives out of pure jealousy, went stiffer than even his demented norm against certain opponents in what amounted to genuine hate crimes...
...he was a c*nt.
Nothing any of these men endured is comparable to what he put his poor wife through. He woke her up, ritually, in the middle of the night, and held a shotgun to her chin. "One day, it will be loaded," he said.
He was even worse to live with.
