Pure Dynamite By Tom Billington with Alison Coleman Published by Winding Stair Press Released on August 15, 2001 220 Pages (Paperback) Available in Paperback |
The Dynamite Kid (Tom Billington) is often considered the greatest wrestler who ever lived. Many moves which are seen regularly in wrestling today were innovated by Billington, such as the diving headbutt and the snap suplex. He is best known for being one half of the British Bulldogs, alongside Davey Boy Smith. Together, they were WWF Tag Team Champions at a time when the tag team division was at its peak.
In Pure Dynamite, Billington recounts his wrestling career the way he sees it - with brutal honesty. No one is spared, most especially the Dynamite Kid himself. Dynamite pulls no punches about the drugs he used and why he used them, and also who he liked in the wrestling business and who he did not. Dynamite writes about how he got started in England, moving to Canada and starting out in Stampede, his time in Japan and feud with Tiger Mask, the move to the WWF, post-WWF career and losing the ability to walk. There are also many stories of cruel ribs that he pulled, which he had a reputation for.
Pure Dynamite is a tragic tale of a man who was at one time a tremendously-gifted athlete now reduced to a cripple. Many people have read this book and come to the conclusion that he is bitter about what ended up happening to him, but it seems that he is willing to accept that he is at fault for the high-risk, high-impact, hard-working style he wrestled with. If you are looking for a book that will make you feel good and put a smile on your face, you might want to look elsewhere. However, if you want to read about the pitfalls of the wrestling industry, Pure Dynamite will be for you.
