Anyone heard anything new about Dynamite Kid?

[Daniel Bryan Says No]

The last interview I can find with him was from 1999. Anyone know what he's doing these days? I know he's wheelchair bound and pretty much hates his family, but I found it weird that after Davey died there was nothing said from Dynamite.

[LeighD]

Doesn't surpirse me (about Davey's death and he says nothing). Personally all I've heard is he hate everyone and everything.

[Flava Dave]

He was interviewed on that CNN special about Benoit.

Yeah looks like he is living in an apartment in the UK. He's in a wheel chair now and looks terrible...

[Gangrel-Brood]

...with a nail inexplicably sprouting from his big toe...

[K5]

absolutely saddening story is that of dynamite kid's. the greatest pro wrestler ever.

[The Abdominal Toaster™]

Yeah I do believe he is missing one leg and asides from being bat s*it crazy that pretty much sums it up.

[Sam Hain]

Yeah, what was up with the nail sticking out of his toe? Is that common in England as a way to treat crazy people? Just hammer a nail into their big toe?

[hbkrules]

ya he really isn't doing much of anything. The bret hart book has a ton of interesting info about dynamite and his downward spiral.

I wonder if he just stuck it in there to prove he wouldn't feel the pain, or something. Weird.

[Patrick Bateman]

I'm sure he's still a prick.

[The Boglin]

Just watched the interview, he has both legs, just is unable to walk.

Not particularly surprised he said nothing about Davey's death; they had a falling out in the early 1990's when Davey returned to WWF for his singles run. Dynamite was mad that Davey did not inform him of the new deal but by that point they already had heat with each other.

I find it such a shame that such talented workers like Dynamite Kid and Bret Hart are still so bitter. Real shame.

Well, I had read that Dynamite was adamant that he would never work for Vince McMahon again before Davey Boy got his singles contract in the early 1990s, and since Dynamite would not return to the WWF and Davey wanted to, Davey went alone. Plus, the fact that they weren't getting along probably made the decision easier for Davey.

Not sure where the truth lies, but there's at least one other side to the story, it seems.

From Dyno's book he states that Davey returned to WWE behind his back when they were still officialy teaming up even though they did have problems. Then afterwards Dyno arranged an AJPW tour which saw the AJPW officials called & informed Dyno had an accident & would be unable to attend, something he strongly hints he blames on Davey.
Also he felt Davey was constantly ratting him out back home in the UK, plus feeding them lies to boost his own image.

However the flip side of this is that Dyno had made life tough for the team for years with his backstage attutide & as Davey saw a gereat opportunity to return as a singles wrestler he'd have been a fool to turn it down. Plus Dyno hardly appears the easiest person to get on with, even in his own book certain scenes make him seem an absolute ass.

My view is the team had run it's course & over the years both men had just built up grudges by being stuck together for so long.

But to hold onto a grudge for that long? Not a good way to live man. I am reminded of the comment that Ted Dibiase made on Shawn Michaels DVD about how all these years later; Bret is still bitter towards Shawn. As time goes on your bitterness doesn't hurt the other guy anymore, it only hurts you.

No no, Sam is right... we like to hammer things in to weirdo's over here. Last week we hammered a dog in to the big toe of The Iron Sheik and a Porsche Boxter in to the shin of George the Animal. Next week we are attempting to hammer a 'hammer' in to the Knee of the Hammer
