20 WWE Superstars And Their 80s Counterparts

Now whilst it’s a comparison that has been made many times already, there’s clearly a whole lot of Dynamite Kid influence visible in the career of the WWE’s Neville.

Both are English, both toured the world in order to excel at their craft, and both are seen as groundbreaking in their in-ring style. Sure, by modern comparisons the Dynamite Kid may not look it, but he was revered as a high flyer of sorts back in his day, and his in-ring reputation was only enhanced by his stunning fundamentals and technical prowess.

When looking at Neville, the smooth technical style and high-flying offense is clear for everyone to see. He is a talent who has spent much of his career mastering his profession across Europe, North America and Japan.

Where Neville is concerned, he seems to have a great temperament and causes no problems with 'the boys', which is an area in which Dynamite often famously fell short on. Still, Neville has often cited Dynamite as an inspiration, in particular referring to his groundbreaking series of matches with Tiger Mask.
