That ending though. One nutcase passing the torch to an even bigger nutcase - who is also his biggest fan, and chuffed to carry on his legacy. Absolutely chilling in hindsight.
Not really. You can’t compare dynamite kid to Benoit. Kid never murdered anybody. And it’s not his fault Benoit idolised him
@@jimmyjarrett-ws2iz it was his niece not his daughter. And nobody has ever proven that. All we have is his word. What kind of insurance pays out on a broken leg? Why were her legs insured?
@@jimmyjarrett-ws2izdidn't stone cold beat his wife Debbie on the regular? So are we going to compare him to Benoit also? EXACTLY
@@arthurmorgan7086ummm… that we know of. Plenty of crimes go unsolved.
@@hatednyc well that’s all we can go on. And he’s not in the same league
“Dynamite doesn’t go down.” 😂😂 and ending on the Chris Benoit line were just perfect. You guys did great with this episode!
Well he was right lol benoit probably was in ring wise the best wrestler outside of japan
Tom was a man's man
Chris Benoit was REALLY GOOD at such a young age in Calgary.
@@leonconnelly5303Benoit idolized Dynamite back in the Stampede days. Quite fitting.
@@nickhall1115 bone-chilling, more like
i've always had the impression that davey boy was thicker than a castle wall, creased at this
Thicker than a castle wall 😂😂
The reason that Billington made Honkytonk Man cry was over a crack that HTM made about Harley Race. Harley had been injured from a table spot in a match with Hogan, and had to have part of his intestines removed. HTM joked that Harley “didn’t have any guts anymore “. According to Bret, the other wrestlers didn’t take kindly to someone as soft as HTM joking about a legendary hard man like Race. Dynamite was good friends with and idolized Race, and backhanded HTM off of his chair for that. Bret said that HTM cried like a baby and begged for forgiveness for that.
Sorry for the novel there 😅
Might have been the case of the broken clock being right twice a day then.
@@KomradeKrusher stopped clock
After seeing HTM gleefully talk shit about Rick Rude dying from a gangrenous penis, like it was just a funny old road rib story, I can believe it.
I don't support bullies, but I don't like bitches either. Htm is 10ply
@@tonypine3434Thank you for this important distinction. A stopped clock will be right twice a day, but a broken clock might never be right.
Thank God Dynamite picked wrestling. If he'd lived til 70, he'd have had the worst criminal record known to man.
You definitely get the sense that without the ring about 20% of 'em would be in cages for life.
@@zetetick395 Ya there's a fairly decent amount of psychos in the business isn't there? Dynamite, Benoit, New Jack to name a few !
Dynamite Kid(Billimgton) actually came from a lineage of English executioners. Unfortunately, violence was literally engrained into his DNA.
@@crazyralph6386 and boxers he had relatives who were boxers , dynamite himself practice boxing,
It's like the Bill Burr joke: he may have been a psychopath, but let's be glad he was just a psychopath in spandex instead of a psychopath running a major corporation, crime syndicate or a country.
Dynamite Kid was the reason to watch the Bulldogs and why Benoit was everyone's favorite.
Story I always heard was Dynamite went down, wasn't knocked out, hold two cups of coffee in his hands. While down lifted his head up conplimenting how good the punch was lol.
bs, he spat some teeth.
Dynamite: "That's Chris Benoit."
*5 second pause*
One guy in the audience: "WOO!"
Perfect.🤣
What a lot of people don’t know is Tom and Davy were descended from a family of public executioners “The Billington’s” operated for a number of years in the late 1800’s and into the 1900’s conducting hangings for the state. Unfortunately, they also suffered from the congenital thickness and there were many incidents of botched hangings and one of them killing himself by drunkenly falling through his own trap door. They were eventually put out of business by the Pierrepoints. There was also a psychotic bare knuckle boxer in the Billington family, who would go out and beat up anyone who dare pass the window of his house - sounds Dynamite came from the same test tube. So judging by this prime DNA, the observation there is something unsettling about Dynamite is probably founded 😂
Cheers Wikipedia
@@troy801 Actually known for years tbh.
"Thick as mince"
Lol
5:57 made me, and I mean this very seriously, roar with laughter
Proof, if it was needed, that it wasn't Dynamite Kid that was the problem, but the boots!
8:47...😂😂😂😂😂"hes basiclly Begbie from Trainspotting"...i p***ed myself laughing here the picture of Begbie popping up aswell ....awesome video guys 👍
Yea these guys are great arent they!?
Mark is a wordsmith and a great storyteller, I loved this anecdote on the podcast, so glad you've done a video for it.
I had a french Canadian wrestler tell me one time..in the strongest french accent in english "They're are 2 kinds of Ribs my friend 1 witha the BBQ sauce and 1 witha sh!t in your shoe you know"...i was taking a drink mid story.And i started choking laughing liquid coming out of my eyes and ears.great guys to have a beer with and talk shop.Thanks guys 2nd best wrestling channel in my opinion 1 will always be Cornette..but you guys do something different and its awesome ive been spreading the word.Trying to get you guys the huge ultimate warrior PUSH....
Dynamite passing the torch to benoit is actually pretty fitting.
Wow.
I didn’t realize the boot thing.
Crazy how it worked out given how they where in there personal lives and how it all ended for both.
Wow. I've heard this story a hundred times but you guys put a great twist on it.
Just discovered your channel. Love it
I grew up in Calgary a mere few blocks from the pavilion, the home of Stampede Wrestling and watched the Kid start and grow both ability and size.. He is the model, for better or worse, for so many future stars.
Seems like its for worse seeing as his main contribution to the future was inspiring chris benoit
@@jamespaul6315 but, Chris Jerrico, Lance Storm, along with several others who didn't kill anyone. So there is that.
@@johnlinn i wouldnt say they are anything like dynamite tbh. And im not a fan of jericho at all. I used to be a big benoit fan but obviously not after what he did
@@jamespaul6315 both of those guys name him as one of their biggest influences in many interviews. You can't just thow out one bad guy and leave it at that. Who you like isn't really part of the equation.
@@johnlinn fair, but ive never heard either compared to dynamite directly.
Worth mentioning that Dynamite was a pioneer of technical wrestling guys like Brett Hart , Mr Perfect, Shaun Michaels all followed his lead
100%
Whatever he did outside of the ring, the fact is he was one of the best wrestlers ever in it. In his prime, he was far more electric than almost every more famous wrestler.
the pioneer on technical wrestling was Edouard Carpentier who did what DK do decades before him.
The impressions of the Bulldogs had me in fucking stitches...
This is the most hilarious British Bulldogs commentary of all time.
This was the video that made me follow you guys. Love the stuff 🫡 Cheers!
That must have been a huge honor for Chris Benoit to hear the Wrestler he idolized dedicated his boots to him and declare him a future big deal in the business.
He squandered that and everything else
Yeah a piece a sh*t bully who would aim a gun at his wife dedicating his wrestling boots to a piece sh*t who actually murdered his wife and child was surely a great honor.
Some people say kurt henning started the feud by setting jock up and telling dynamite jock addled on ya for a prank
Yeah I think they implied that in the video.
Always the highlight of my evening when Wrestleme puts a new one out.
I love the story of Jake the Snake feeding their dog laxatives when they left it in their hotel room!
Jake both grew and destroyed his reputation this day thank DDP for saving him and multiple other favorites
Dynamite might be the tougest guy ever if he didnt go down from a punch with a roll of coins thats insane thats basically like getting hit with a brick
He might have been physically tough...but mentally he was a fucking pos....pussy....1 right hand broke him .....Brett said was never the same....like Rocky said its not how you can hit...it's how hard u can get hit and get up and keep going
Can imagine Haku not going down either..
@@Ellandback1Haku would just bite your nose off.......
@@mrkipling2201 If you were lucky!!! 🤣
As the story goes Dynamite only went down to pick up his teeth
There is a British ITV bout I remember seeing at the time where Dynamite and Fit Finley go at it. I remember it because it was terrifying in its ferocity (I think I was 12). My feeling at the time was that something went wrong, as both wrestlers looked hurt, and I am pretty sure that the ring floor was damaged with one of the boards splintered and broken. If memory serves me correctly Finley won in a sudden ending which again added to the feeling that something had gone wrong. If you ever find the footage I would love you to do video on it, as it was an amazing piece of athleticism from both wrestlers.
I witnessed Dynamite Kid Bench press 455 X 6 he made it look effortless, this was 1985-1986 in a gym in South San Francisco, it was astonishing to see 😮
Roids
A man can’t lose face when he gets suckerd with a roll of quarters and doesn’t go down IMO
The Kid's roid rage really took over. When I ran an engineering company I took on this young lad who was hugely into body image. He was hard working, polite, kind and a great team player. After 12 months his atritude changed completely, he was aggressive, resentful, angry, and got into fights with colleagues. I discovered he was self dosing on Testosterone and roids... had to fire him 3 months later for hitting a colleague.
Like most short people i've encountered. They compensate by going to the gym and trying to act hard. It's always been comical.
Davey’s face when Tom says “they are bigger than and stronger than us”….😂😂
I really feel you have the bulldogs nailed.
"The man cant get in ruoom"
Pure Dynamite, great book, read it...respect that era of WWF
And the best is dynamite kid was only 5'7" while most of the guys were over 6'4"
not the biggest wrestling fan but these uploads are some of the funniest things i have watched on YT
I know it’s not that old but could you PLEASE cover the Acolytes/APA destroying Public Enemy in a shoot fight? It’s merciless, and wonderful.
100% this needs to happen.
I second that. What a beatdown.
I wanna see steve blackman kicking bradshaws ass in an airport covered lol
@@jamespaul6315 I’m guessing there wasn’t footage… but there is definitely footage of the ‘match’ I mentioned. Its brutal.
British Bulldogs = Tears For Fears on the gas
I cannot thank you both enough for just existing. Man, what gift from the gods. Laughing through this like an idiot.
6:11 the meathead segment is so simple and brilliant
You guys gave us the most accurate description of the British bulldogs 😅
I remember The Dynamite Kid's first TV match against Alan Dennison. Even then, at only 17, he was clearly a phenomenal talent. A great match, which can be found on TH-cam😎
This is nostalgia at its finest with 2 funny hosts. Great channel boys! Bravo!
RIP Adrian Street
Whoever is seeing this (the editor). You are such a talent
Credit to the editor. They accidentally covered this twice on the show and this is both melded into the funniest version of the story.
The ending is just sad. By all accounts, Benoit was just an incredibly hard working and well liked young man back then. Even Dynamite wasn't to know what was to come. When Tom found out what Chris did, did it break him? Or was he already broken beyond redemption by then?
Tom said some cryptic bullshit like "I warned him this would happen". He seemed to have little care or sympathy for the situation. Not a nice guy at all.
@@Bubba__Sawyer what exactly did you want him to say about someone he hadn't seen in years?
He took a very dim view and washed his hands of him as I recall.
Curt Hennig deserved to be knocked out too for escalating the heat between the Bulldogs and the Rougeau Brothers he did the same with Scott Hall and Marty Jannetty in AWA which led to Hall knocking out Jannetty
People do tend to overlook the part that the Bulldogs got blamed and snitched on to the office for something they hadn't actually done, then later got assaulted with a weapon. They lost their jobs over it whilst the Rougeau's and Hennig didn't get punished at all. I don't see any innocent parties in this..
curt had hundreds of fights happen because of ribs he'd pulled, surprised it never caught up with him.
I come to listen to this story at least once a month lol
Dynamite is the reason smaller wrestlers are where they are now.
He started a style never seen on western wrestling before.
His lifestyle/behaviour outside the ring is not great at all, but alot of wrestlers ranked higher also are horrible people.
Truthfully tho, Davey trademarking British Bulldog was such a back stab. You would atleast give a % to the other half or let them also use the name
He's basically Begbei. Fantastic reference
Dynamite Kid Tommy Billington is hands down the GOAT! his singles matches before the Bulldogs was amazing his matches & Bulldogs matches in Japan really shows how great thy were, and the tournament when 3 matches in 1 night Dynamite won Jr Heavyweight title he was so far ahead of his time and gave his life & body to the sport. RIP Tommy
My cousin was the dynamite kids manager John Foley
I grew up watching Stampede Wrestling. J.R. Foley was hilarious! I always cheered for him and Dynamite. "Hey, Ed, want to go to a party?" 🤣
You guys are awesome! You're like OSW and i love it. Please, post more vids or full reviews
I subscribed purely in the hope that you guys will re-enact every single backstage brawl, ever. Please do Jericho vs Goldberg next. :D
3:32 made me lose my shit, one of the best channels I've discovered
That twist at the end was so sudden I now need surgery.
Raymond giving a little smirk when he is about to recall the payback story on Dynamite Kid is amazing. lol
I remember reading in power slam magazine once where dynamite filled some guys tea with laxatives, and when the guy went out at intermission to do a strong man exhibition he shit himself in the ring....ribs eh....
Kinda funny tho.
Imagine if Tony Khan had to deal with something like this.
A laughed a lot during this video and learnt a lot, the end was chilling. I’ve read Dynamite descended from a family of executioners - does anyone know if this is true?
It is true yes.
I haven’t laughed so hard in years!! You guys are killing me! 😂
The end bit fucked with me because when Chris first debuted in WCW I thought he was the Dynamite Kid.🤔
The bulldogs vs the Steiners is a dream match where everyone watching gets a bruised lip
Honestly if nobody else was around after the role of quarters punch, I still believe Dynamite would has f’d him up. He’d have scrambled to his feet and gone for the eye or something.
Im just happy he got his teeth knocked out. He was an awful person
According to Dynamite Kids book. The Rougeau brothers were affiliated with the Mafia. Vince became scared that they could get their Wiseguy friends to seriously hurt the Bulldogs if Dynamite responded to getting his teeth knocked out
Oh that is just so clearly bullshit. It's the same as a kid in the playground saying "I totally would of won that fight but I actually can't punch with my full power 'cause I'm a trained boxer and I'd lose my licence & also my girlfriend that lives in Canada doesn't want me fighting 'cause she's scared I'd kill someone with my fists"
@@pmc8451 Jacques admitted it was true. Fair different takes who told Dynamite, Dynamite said Vince, Jacques said he told Dino Bravo and Bravo told Dynamite cause he’d know Bravo would stooge.
@@pmc8451 some clarification, Jacques wasn’t in the mafia, but he made up to Dino Bravo that he had connections to the mafia. Think the story is on a WSI podcast told by Jacques.
Had the Bulldogs stayed, they were supposed to team with Duggan at the 89 Rumble and the Harts would have been in the Rumble match.
Dynamite looked like he was in pain in his interviews
His back was completely fucked from 86 onwards.
Wow, what a final line for that segment.
Dynamite Kid - Legendary wrestler, insanely talented.
Outside of the ring though, absolute bellend.
Let's hear it for the man that ended Dynamite's days of terror, Jaques Rougeau!!
He wasn't kidding when he said he Always Gets His Man.
@@Kaltagstar96 the story which McMahon heard, that Jacques planned it, set it all up, and executed it (and let's face it, Dynamite's career) over a couple of weeks is exactly how he became The Mountie. The cartoonish character was a ribbing shoot.
@@jensjesfjeld6238 And he ended up having a good lengthy run and won several championships with that gimmick too. Jacques really came out as the winner on all fronts there.
@@Jayce_Alexander absolutely. He certainly became a top draw. The character kinda gave him an alter ego to work with, to put his own personality and skills into while keeping his privacy. The Mountie, while meant as a joke, was no joke.
C'est fini!
I just discovered your channel, the content has really made me laugh. No more podcast?
Hell yeah! New Wrestle Me! I love this show!
Love the channel. Keep up the amazing work!!
Jesus Christ that end was chilling. Wrestle Me did that shit on purpose. 😂😂😂
“Dynamite does not go down”
*oh dear sweet Jesus Christ*
Of course The Bulldogs were juiced up . The average height between them was 5’8” .
Dynamite broke Mick Foley's jaw with a clsoeline
He was a dick for sure but it’s not told that Dynamite and Foley did become friends after wrestling in Japan together.
@@drofheim neat
Best part of the Rougeou heels was just not their work which got awesome cowardly heel, but it was the French part of their lyrics
On peut pas les sentir
Dans le monde ils sont les pires
On aime les faire fâcher quand on dit
Which translates to 'We can't stand them, they are the worst, we make them them angry when we say"
Add in Jimmy Hart and it was magic, was a shame Raymond got injured and could no longer wrestle
As much praise as Hennig gets, he was an instigator and his ribs were not like Owen Hart's in a 'ahhh, gotcha' method, but just mean and juvenile and this it cost a team their jobs & a man his teeth. Not that is a bad thing because according to multiple sources, they were both cruel to that dog
Were they cruel to matilda? 😢
@@jamespaul6315 according to some shoots I have seen, yes. When 1 wrestler says it, not much weight but when 3 say it...have to start believing it
@@TheImapotato that sucks. Dynamite i understand he was a bastard, surprised at davey boy
That episode was a sleeper but turned out to be pretty epic. Should've included that part about Dino Bravo's mob connections and Jacques's long con about Dynamite Kid's family supposedly being in danger.
Dynamite is a great example of the that Blade Runner quote by Tyrell
"The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long and you have burned so very, very brightly, Roy."
Man he was a piece of shit but an excellent wrestler when he was in his prime.
Bwahahaha! That ending was fucking dark, and I love it!
I now can't unsee them as Crabbe and Goyle.Dynamite will have the last laugh, he has respawned as his nephew - th-cam.com/video/Z8do18U0E9A/w-d-xo.html
Hes the spittin image of dynamite in looks n mannerisms🤘
I can't help but think one of the bulldogs had his trunks back to front
That ending was epic, dude.
Peak of wrestling content anywhere on the Internet.
Back in 2004 I bought a competitive strandpulling set from a guy called Jim Bartlett. Jim told me he once sold a Strandpulling set to a young Dynamite Kid.
Killer gag on the Underworld track while discussing how Matilda is kept quiet
I saw a video where Bret Hart basically said he thought Dynamite was the real best there is, best there was and best there ever will be. He said he never considered himself better then Dynamite which shows the huge respect he had for him.
that was pretty damn good , keep up the great work
Haunted boots outro was the cherry on the top of a terrifying cake
He's very luky they got dynamite off him imagine what he would of done to him 🤣
Keep up the great work lad's .
Ps the ending 🤣
The issue was between Dynamite Kid and Jacques Rougeau, because Curt Henng pulled a rib on Dynamite putting weights in his bag, and then said Rougeau did it.
Dynamite was holding a coffee in each hand.
This is the 2nd or 3rd video that mentions
Made the honky tonk man cry i need to know what happened there
How did the Killer bees get LJN figures but the Jacque and Raymond didnt?
Their little flags would have been awesome accessories
Love the Big Train and Brass Eye References
So good! I’m so thirsty for more content!
Dynamite Kid and Begbie. I’ll always see that now.
Did the Bulldogs ever cross paths with The Steiners?
Never in same company
I can't explain why, but it cracks me up me how much The Bulldog's violence tickles these two.
Boys, that part where dynamite say fookin laugh ya coont, and bulldogs says the man cannot get in room fucking killed me. Literally spat my beer out and crying with laughter 😅😅😅
