Career Highlights

Dynamite started wrestling in England and Japan and was recuited by Bruce Hart to work in Stampede Wrestling in Calgary..
Dynamite had a series of matches with Tiger Mask (Satoru Sayama) that are a favorite amung tape traders..
Dynamite brought his cousin, Davey Boy Smith over to Calgary to work for Stampede..
Dynamite & Davey Boy formed one of the most successful tag teams in the history of wrestling, the British Bulldogs..
The Bulldogs left the WWF eventually and returned to Calgary & Japan where they slowly grew apart..
Davey Boy made a secret deal with Vince McMahon to return to the WWF without Dynamite, creating a bitter hatred between the two..
Dynamite inspired a teenaged Chris Benoit to train to become a wrestler..
Dynamite is now confined to a wheelchair from the years of "bumping" in the ring..
Tom "Dynamite Kid" Billington despises his cousin Davey Boy Smith so much, he can't bring himself to say his name

Considering his influence on jr style all over the world.........he's in.

I would say yes, based on his jr influence and the fact that he was part of one of the top tag-teams in history.

Short and simple: Yes. Reason has already been explained, but I'll regurgitate it... his influence on all Junior Heavyweights should be an automatic, plus the fact he was an awesome wrestler. Sure, he's a bitter old man now, but living your life in a wheel chair because you fucked your body up performing shouldn't be held against him.

Edit: For a minute, I thought the topic said "Dynamite Kido" :P

:lol: Someday I may add a "member" list to the HOF.

I'm still torn on whether or not I should actually vote "yes." Sell me on DK some more :)

His memory lives on in everything Chris Benoit does.

Check. Fucking. Mate.

Everything everyone has every heard or seen about Jr's wrestling in Japan is credited to three people......Tiger Mask.........Jushin Liger.......and Dynamite Kid.

I honestly can't say that I've seen a lot of the British Bulldogs, nor just the Dynamite Kid.

Hopefully you didn't vote no because of this... or I'll hunt you down and eat your liver!

Hahahah. Whoops. ;) j/k

I haven't voted yet. Still torn on my decision.

REALLY? I'm surprised about that. Any reasons why you wouldn't vote him in?

I'm iffy on his drawing ability and the fact that almost every junior I've read about attributes Tiger Mask with being their main influence and not never mention him. He's definately in due to ringwork but I'm not sure he measures up in the other aspects.

Who the hell voted no?!


Total no-brainer here. On top of his own greatness, the guy is basically responsible for giving us Bret Hart and Chris Benoit.
