@Shawn Had Dynamite grown up and lived here in the USA... I think he'd made a hell of a High School Football player especially as a Strong Safety and/or as Linebacker🏈💪💯
The guy Dynamite hit the clothesline with at 5:24 was actually a debuting Mick Foley. According to Foley, Dynamite dislocated his jaw with that and he couldn't eat solid food for two weeks after that.
Nearly 40 years ago, professional wrestling was broadcast all over Japan every Friday night at 8pm. I was a junior high school student at the time, and I was watching Dynamite Kid's match with great interest. In his later years, he suffered from injuries and illnesses, but I will never forget him fighting in the ring.
40 years ago, on an episode of Stampede Wrestling, Ed Whalen announced: "We have special video tape from Japan". It was a match between Dynamite Kid & Tiger Mask. Absolutely awesome. Now, I can see that exact same match here on UA-cam. Nostalgia + Technology = UA-cam.
This is the best comment on UA-cam lol But you are right, I consider Brett the best but yes, DK was easily my favorite wrestler in his prime. Just an explosive force of nature he was and probably is the best ever.
He chose the right sport at the right time and conquered wrestling but can you imagine him if he was born to this generation and gone into MMA with his technical abilities, could of been scary.
Benoit and dynamite kid were good friends, and dynamite kid told benoit how to wrestle like he did, he wasn’t an exact copy of dynamite, but he was the closest copy you could get, after benoit died, dynamite shat on his name for killing his family, meanwhile says pointed a shotgun at his pregnant wife while his children were in the room, not much different, brain damage or no brain damage, they were greats of wrestling the promlem is, the higher you climb, the harder you fall, I believe they were both legends of wrestling, but there personal life was destroyed by there actions.
He may not have been the nicest guy outside the ring, but watching this video & seeing his old matches wrestling would n't be what it became or what it is without this guy.
Never realized he had so many signature moves. Always remembered him for his super quick suplex. They were great to watch as a tag team back in the 80s. Best years ever
If you take notice. DK protected himself more than Benoit when performing the Diving Headbutt. Benoit would take all the impact to his head and upper body. DK would land on his knees first to lessen the impact to the head, and neck.
I was about 8 years old when I first saw that snap-suplex when they wrestled on UK TV before they were WWF (I think), my face must have been a picture, because I was gobsmacked. I remember mom saying, "now you don't do that with your brother"
The way he ran the ropes so damn fast and hard should be on the list.. and his snap suplexes were a thing of beauty. Strategically executed every time. I really liked his greco roman gut wrench suplex, too. I learned something new from your video. I had no idea the move where he knees the opponents stomach is called the kitchen sink.
The only person he didn't stiff was Tiger Mask in that compilation (because of the respect he had). I love the Bulldogs but Tom stiffed a lot of people, especially if he didn't like them.
DK I believe was the the best wrestler ever, closely followed by Chris Benoit. Some brilliant matches in the early days of DK and Tiger Mask. Hats off to all three wrestlers, no BS hype, just pure technical wrestling. Back in the late 70's/early 80's I remember him fighting Jimmy Breaks and Mark 'Rollerball' Rocco, on UK's World of Sport. Brilliant stuff.
He was a bit before my time. But, he was my favorite wrestlers idol, and for that I began an interest in the Dynamite Kid, and I see such a similarity between the two, I love watching Kid perform, his technique and power are a truly amazing, r.i.p. Dynamite
In all fairness, if he didn’t think someone was working properly, he would make his moves stiffer, or if he just felt like it, so some of the moves in this video are a display of that, especially in Japan.
everyone said this guy had 5star matches, Chris Benoit and American Dragon (Bryan Danielson) where the best of their eras... it how real he makes it look and the fans respect that old and new
I was watching one night with my dad where he did the flying headbutt and actually hit it hard. He was bleeding afterwards and staggered. Was hoping to see that here. Great video
Hard to say, DBS went on to be a bigger star and was a safer worker, but Tom was an epic wrestler if not stiff. I prefer the safer workers but I think its a matter of taste.
5:25, the clothesline that broke Mick Foley's jaw. The only wrestler that showed concern for Foley was Greg Valentine. No wonder why Foley called Valetine a hero.
Someone on here said that Benoit was really spitting image of dk he honestly fought like dk as well has that style that legit make it look like he almost broke someone
I worked out with DK a couple times at BJ's gym in Calgary before the steriod's, I was younger and smaller too he was very nice to me but from what I heard the type of steriod he took turn's nice guy's into monsters, I took the same steriod when I hit my 40's and I can tell you from first hand experience it's not a good thing for the people around you
@@gregp103 Mrs Solo was describing the experience of her youth with regards to the Dynamite Kid. And you responded with a very snooty questions IMHO. So, I ask you, when did it become about you?
@@apubakeralpuffdaddy392 Never. I know you're a liar and you know you're a liar. We both also know that me pointing out someone's narcissism doesn't make me a narcissist. But you involving yourself dishonestly does make you one.
Absolute shit of a human being but boy could he wrestle. Gave his all to the industry and wrecked his body/health as a result. His snap suplex was just a joy to watch, the sheer speed and technique was flawless.
So... his kids forgave him, his ex-wife forgave him, he apologized to numerous people in his final years, but some stranger in a UA-cam comments section still has a grudge. You have serious emotional issues, my friend. Seek help, you clearly need some. People are always ready to help.
@@Rjensen2 Apologizing is the right thing to do but damage is already done to those people, regardless if they accept apology or not. By the way you are projecting your own emotional issues to others, I'm sure andrewlaw is doing just fine.
@@Rjensen2 So it's OK to act fully evil towards others as long as you know they will be kind enough to forgive when you ask for forgiveness? Most of the trauma stays forever regardless how much the victims tries to forgive and forget.
Tom Billington was the best ther is, best there was, Best there ever will be!!.. Brett Heart. saw Dynamite Kid in Portland, OR 1983 OR 84 VS Kurt Henning & Buddy Rose when i was a little kid Dynamite was so fast, dove across the ring, fly higher then anyone off the top nobody compared. Dynamite & Tiger Mask have the best matches fast paced he layed it all on the line will always be the greatest
That's because Dynamite was Benoits Idol. When Benoit was getting started in Calgary Dynamite was the king of the promotion. He's the only WWF wrestler never to have an exclusive contract because he would go wrestle in front of huge crowds in Japan where he was a legend also. He's the best of all time.
This was only a selection of his favourite moves. None of his submission moves where in here. His speed and pace were unrivalled, even Brett had problems keeping up with him. People forget that. Chris Benoit was a fan of his from an early age which is why he tried to emulate Dynamite How many wrestlers today can boast of such a wide variety of moves, how may wrestlers today are changing the business every time they get in the ring. Zac and Will are the closest thing we have to Dynamite nowadays but they are still nowhere near as good as the Dynamite kid. Rip Tom Billington. Keedo,Keedo,Keedo.
That snap suplex was a thing of beauty
U see where Chris Benoit got it from🤔
No one did it better than Tommy 🔥
You can thank the great workers he was up against, for that.
They did most of the heavy lifting.
The quickness reminds of Kenny omega
@@jayvundla5473 he is still nothing to the legacy of the Dynamite Kid
Arguably the best of all time, and for sure the best wrestler to ever come from the UK.
Chris Benoit surpassed him eventhough dk was his idol
@@reefbreaker9350 Never got close. Benoit was a dynamite you'd get at the dollar store
Dynamite''s snap suplex was perfection personified.
Bret hart was correct saying DK ushered in a new era of pro wrestling. His style excited the crowds and I loved watching his suplexs.
The originator!
Dynamite had a real talent for making even common moves look explosive.
@Shawn
Had Dynamite grown up
and lived here in the USA...
I think he'd made a hell of a
High School Football player
especially as a Strong Safety
and/or as Linebacker🏈💪💯

I read his book too. Millions did actually.

@@gregp103 Wtf were you even trying to say here
@@Peter-pd9hy Two, smarter people, understood.
@@gregp103 it's a fact worthy of note, which contributes more to the discussion than your overly pretentious comment
@@evansgate
The fact noted was already noted in a book read by millions of unpretentious people. Actually.
The execution of this man's moves was insane. Wish current wrestling was more like this (and, perhaps, with better announcers).

Herro
6:34 Man, the strength of Davey Boy, to carry a man on his shoulders and then also be able to handle Dynamite stomping on them like that. Wow.
If the Hitman says Dynamite was the best there was, is, and ever will be, who am I to argue otherwise.
Best half a wrestler. The other half is talking. 😳
This is the best comment on UA-cam lol But you are right, I consider Brett the best but yes, DK was easily my favorite wrestler in his prime. Just an explosive force of nature he was and probably is the best ever.
Bad News Brown said he’s the best too
He chose the right sport at the right time and conquered wrestling but can you imagine him if he was born to this generation and gone into MMA with his technical abilities, could of been scary.
Chris Benoit literally was a spitting image of DK
literally
I believe they all train together with the Hart family, didn't they?
Even down to the trauma and hyper violence
Benoit and dynamite kid were good friends, and dynamite kid told benoit how to wrestle like he did, he wasn’t an exact copy of dynamite, but he was the closest copy you could get, after benoit died, dynamite shat on his name for killing his family, meanwhile says pointed a shotgun at his pregnant wife while his children were in the room, not much different, brain damage or no brain damage, they were greats of wrestling the promlem is, the higher you climb, the harder you fall, I believe they were both legends of wrestling, but there personal life was destroyed by there actions.
That's a fact
Everything is so explosive and looks so real and vicious. He’s the best wrestler I’ve ever seen footage of for sure from any era and so athletic.
Technical Excellence! Chris Benoit is the spitting image of him
What a legend. Those knee drops were beautiful. RIP
They looked pretty stiff, hard to tell if they were or not. The ones getting it seemed to either sell it really well, or they were actually in pain.
Absolute goat. hart, hbk and a few others have come close, but this guy is still the gold standard for an in-ring worker.
彼が全盛期の頃は
日本のタイガーマスクの試合しか知らなかったが、
こうやって見ると
世界的にもヘビー級の選手達と活躍していた
すごい選手だったということが初めてわかりました。
これならクレスベノアが尊敬して憧れるのも無理もないと思いました。
最後のショルダー越しのダイビングヘッドバットは、
ちょっとした小さなロードwarriorsのような感じだった。

本当に小さなスーパーマンだった。
He may not have been the nicest guy outside the ring, but watching this video & seeing his old matches wrestling would n't be what it became or what it is without this guy.
He was the excellence of execution the innovator the trendsetter
The greatest! He invented 6 of the greatest wrestling moves we see today
The only wrestler that makes a Snap Suplex look like a finisher
Wow!! One of my favorite wrestlers back in the days !! So sad what happen to him , r.i.p
Dude was ahead of his time
Never realized he had so many signature moves. Always remembered him for his super quick suplex. They were great to watch as a tag team back in the 80s. Best years ever
Que buen arsenal de técnicas y maniobras en el ring tenía D.K. Un infravalorado del Wrestling.

great to see him in there hitting so many of these moves on my man Greg the Hammer.. probably my 2 fave guys of all time
The backbreaker has to be so hard to do without hurting someone.
That drop kick off the ropes had injury wrote all over it 😢
6:26 That was a perfectly executed Diving Headbutt. Beautiful! If only it wasn't so dangerous and destructive...
4:04 That girl in the front row was perhaps a bit too tender hearted for puroresu.
The truth!!!! My favorite wrestler’s favorite wrestler
The knee drop he does looks brutal. Id definitely wouldnt use that move ever
Every one of them looked on target. How tf did they not receive the brunt of that impact?
The only person he didn't stiff was Tiger Mask in that compilation (because of the respect he had). I love the Bulldogs but Tom stiffed a lot of people, especially if he didn't like them.

Thank you for doubling down on snap suplex clips!!!
Very reminiscing of chris Benoit style. Very intense.
watching wrestlers like Dynamite kid , Benoit, fit finley, you could almost feel the pain...
He was an amazing wrestler!! Thanks for posting.
He was a bit before my time. But, he was my favorite wrestlers idol, and for that I began an interest in the Dynamite Kid, and I see such a similarity between the two, I love watching Kid perform, his technique and power are a truly amazing, r.i.p. Dynamite
benoit, right? me too man
He had the best knee drop i have ever seen
Because they are real my goodness those were vicious
That's what I was gonna say haha
@@xaviergarza9002 how would you fake those or make them less painful??
@@xaviergarza9002 they aren't real. If you look closely he never hit his opponent. But the sudden stop make it look like it.
In all fairness, if he didn’t think someone was working properly, he would make his moves stiffer, or if he just felt like it, so some of the moves in this video are a display of that, especially in Japan.
I’m sure he was called the man of a thousand holds way before dean Malinke
You can see how he influenced Benoit
Dynamite Kid's snap suplex was stunning .No one has reach his level yet.
Exactly,that’s the moves like consuming his life and mind…
RIP,Grand Dynamite Kid 🙏
everyone said this guy had 5star matches, Chris Benoit and American Dragon (Bryan Danielson) where the best of their eras... it how real he makes it look and the fans respect that old and new
Best technical wrestler ever
While looked down on as an evil dude, he was literally the original Mr. Intensity! I guess crazy people just do it better sometimes
Some of those early rings didn't have much bounce to them. No wonder his back gave up.
Between him and Dr Death Steve Williams...it would be a sight to see...
An absolute legend!!!!
Dynamite should be in the hall of fame
All of his moves appear to make significant physical impact on his opponents.
I was watching one night with my dad where he did the flying headbutt and actually hit it hard. He was bleeding afterwards and staggered. Was hoping to see that here. Great video
I remember that
4:34 ring is like a trampoline and the next one is like a wood board
Snap suplex should be #1. Never seen anybody do it better.
The Goat.
Masterful!
I was today ears old when I learned that all of modern wrestling is just Dynamite's moveset.
He was way ahead of his time.
One of Britain's Greatest !
Simply the best!
Old Edmonton in the agricom, seen live stampede wrestling there in the late 70’s
MY FRIENDS DID THIS MOVE. WE GOT A BED MATRESS AND LAYED IN THE YARD GIVING EACH OTHER SNAP SUPLEXS
Dynamite kid had a lot of moves! Hard to say who was better between him and Bulldog..
Hard to say, DBS went on to be a bigger star and was a safer worker, but Tom was an epic wrestler if not stiff. I prefer the safer workers but I think its a matter of taste.
Dynamite was easily the better wrestler but he wasn't as strong or jacked as Davey so maybe had a lower limit on who he could do moves to.
5:25, the clothesline that broke Mick Foley's jaw. The only wrestler that showed concern for Foley was Greg Valentine. No wonder why Foley called Valetine a hero.
I can see all of what this man taught Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit
That diving headbutt he did look legit devastating.
Those knee drops look stiff as hell!
Yeah didn't look very friendly haha
Every single one of them lol
輪島大士とシングルマッチで見たかった。

His leg drop was so much crisper than Hogan`s.
Hogan has great charisma but really sucks

RIP DK..
His suplexes were dangerous
Benoit v dynamite kid both in prime would have been something, also as a tag team.
There's a cool clip of Tom giving Benoni his boots in Calgary I think. Haven't seen them wrestle though.
basic moves but the intensity behind them were pure dynamite 🧨

My cousin used to manage the kid but unfortunately he died just before dynamite had full recognition

VOTE TRUMP 2024.
