People say he couldn’t talk and granted, he’s no Austin on the mic, BUT, as an angry aggressive English heel, he was believable and I’m sure the fans considered him legitimately scary
I agree. Vince McMahon really blew it when he didn't accept Dynamite Kid's offer to turn the Bulldogs heel. Had he done the smart thing, it would have rejuvenated the team because they would have been facing different opponents with a far different attitude than what the WWF fans were used to seeing. Anyone who saw Dynamite Kid at Stampede Wrestling in Calgary or in Japan or any of that footage on UA-cam knows how great a heel he could be. His time in Portland is further proof of how much heat he would have drawn in the WWF.
@@randycantera147 definitely. As bad as the bulldogs were on the mic compared to the standard wwf guys, they could have done well as heels, and could have limited dynamites explosive style to a more brawler type one to save his body for a bit. With dynamite as the mouthpiece (Davey was hideous on the mic as I’m sure you agree even as a heel), Davey doing the brunt of the in ring work, which granted he did after 86 anyway, they could have been great into the early 90s. I think if Dynamite hadn’t rushed back from the injury, and altered his style, he wouldn’t have been in the state he was in by 90/91 when he retired in All Japan. And importantly too getting clean from all the drugs and booze. Hindsight is a wonderful thing though and neither could sort themselves enough to avoid an early grave
I grew up with Portland Wrestling watched or attended every weekend Dynamite Kid was first match i saw as a kid in early 80's he was my favorite from them on RIP Tommy, got to know Rip & son Larry Oliver in early 90's now Rip is having bad health problems. 80's Wrestling was the greatest years for Wrestling
