Retired British wrestler Tom 'Dynamite Kid' Billington remains in hospital after suffering a stroke, and is said to be in "very serious" condition according to Wrestling Observer Radio. The former Tag Team Champion spent four years in WWF alongside Davey Boy Smith, wrestling as The British Bulldogs. The pair feuded with teams such as the Hart Foundation and the Rougeaus from 1984-88. Billington's unique style, mixing old-school British wrestling with groundbreaking Japanese manoeuvres, inspired a generation of technicians. He has even been described by Bret Hart as the best wrestler ever seen. Billington was reportedly admitted to hospital six weeks ago, and although his speech has improved since then, his physical condition is said to have seriously worsened. WON also reports that, at one stage of his ongoing hospitlisation, he believed himself to be in the ring, calling spots with Abdullah The Butcher. The 57 year old has suffered numerous health problems in the past. He lost the use of his left leg in 1997 - the result of problems which may have been worsened by the use of his Diving Headbutt finisher over the years - and has also suffered from heart issues. He reportedly suffered a stroke in late 2013.
