10 Wrestlers Who Were Recklessly Dangerous
4. Dynamite Kid
Few share fond memories of the man behind the machine-like Dynamite Kid despite their insights often being coloured with an enjoyment of his incredible in-ring efforts.
Tom Billington was an angry man in an era where volatility wasn't necessarily the worst trait, but his brand of violence went beyond the bone-crunching snap suplexes he dished out in the duo's WWF doubles disputes.
Mick Foley was an innocent victim of his notable stiffness when he came up against him in his first ever televised WWE match. Both Kid and British Bulldogs partner Davey Boy Smith were known for being rough on enhancement talents, but a dislocated jaw went beyond an acceptable level of suffering for a jobber to endure.
Foley was left briefly unable to eat as a result of the vicious clothesline midway through the match, but industry etiquette at the time required him only to thank Dynamite for the match rather than command any sort of apology for taking such a liberty. It was this prevailing attitude that allowed for such physicality, with Kid's stocky frame contributing to a meanness only nurtured rather than nullified by the business he loved.
