The Wrestling Observer's Pure Dynamite: The Price You Pay for Wrestling Stardom by Tom Billington PDF
Tom Billington AKA The Dynamite Kid was an innovator who, along with Tiger Mask, helped revolutionize the Junior Heavyweight style of Puro (Japanese Pro Wrestling). He's most renowned for his tag-team run in the WWF as part of the British Bulldogs with his cousin Davey Boy Smith. He's been described as Benoit before Benoit. Make of that what you will.
Unfortunately, Billington's dark side was all encompassing and he doesn't make much effort to hide it in his autobiography.
Not a jolly read by any means, but a compelling one.
Astonishly this book, despite being a cult favourite, has never been available as retail digital. So, PDF it must be. Enjoy.
Official Blurb:
"Pure Dynamite is a blow by blow account of the career of Tom Billington, who wrestled solo as The Dynamite Kid, and with Davey Boy Smith as half of the British Bulldogs tag team. Twice world champion, Billington was featured in the pages of Playboy magazine and was an international celebrity. Although he should have been a millionaire when he retired in 1993, after 16 years of professional wrestling, he had little but memories are scar tissue to show for it.As one of the first bona fide superstars in the World Wrestling Federation, Billington's career parallels the development of the WWF, from the early days to the decade following the first Wrestlemania event at Madison Square Garden in 1985. He worked with every major promoter, and wrestled with some of the biggest names in the sport. His story is a candid expose of the highs and lows of a cultural phenomenon that is still growing today.
Now confined to a wheelchair as a result of serious damage to his back and legs, his years of steroid use have also damages Billington's heart and personal life. Pure Dynamite is as much a cautionary tale as it is a glimpse into the world of a wrestling legend."
