He and Davey boy Smith were actually cousins. Tommy Billington came from a fantastic wrestling family. Davey married Brett Harts sister Diane and Tommy married the other sister. Dynamite was a fantastic wrestler back in the day. If you are wondering how i know so much about British Wrestling, well that's because i travelled all over the country watching it and got to know most of the Wrestlers. The referee is Brian Crabtree the brother of Big Daddy aka Shirley Crabtree
Sadly, without the "juice" , Dynamite as well as Davey Boy would never have been in the WWF. Even though both were talented beyond talented , they were both too small to be in Vinces WWF without the juice. Vince loved big steroided up men. That is a fact. I'm just happy to have seen them both succeed in the bigtime while they could. RIP to them both and God Bless. They did what they had to to make it big. PS. I saw them live here in Regina in 79, Dynamite was listed as 165lbs and Davey was 175. You think they would have made the WWF at those weights? Hardly. And they knew it. And do not kid yourself, Brett was on the juice as well in the WWF/E. He was listed as 165 as well back on that same card back then in 79. They all knew they needed to get bigger for recognition by Vince.
Peter Kaye cheated and complained all the time! I guess this was late 70s, maybe early 80s. Billington died at the end of 2018 - aged 60. Brian Crabtree was always on the ball when refereeing- but I saw him flung out of the ring at least a couple of times by unhappy wrestlers (cheats). he was far lighter than his brother. Lol.
A pre gear Dynamite... what a match ... Tally was quite the worker too.

Billington was a natural talent and strong, what a shame he got on the juice. RIP.
