Great wrestler but how the hell do you let The Mountie knock four of your teeth out...is Jacques some secret tough guy or something? There’s a bunch of different versions of the story. The gist is Jacques gave him a receipt for beating him up backstage by sucker punching him with a roll of quarters. Ray Rougeau was a gold gloves boxer & gave Jacques lessons on how stick the punch. Apparently Dynamite only went down on a knee after taking the punch right in the mouth, but it did screw up his teeth & gums. He didn’t come back after him because Vince ordered Jacques to pay for the dental work, but Dynamite knew someone who did it for free and pocketed Jacques’s money.

Bronwyne’s story was detailed in Bret’s book. She’s the daughter of Dynamite and Michelle, she’s Bret’s former sister in law, his ex wife Julie is her sister. Helen and Stu considered Bronwyne another grandchild. According to the book, early on Dynamite was a good father and husband but unfortunately things turned out bad. I’m glad Bronwyne made peace with her father, because the story of Dynamite leaving England was scary.

Watch any of his matches with tiger mask. Done in the early 80s and still as exciting as anything seen today. Dude was a legit 20 to 30 years ahead of his time.

Read a career summary of the Dynamite Kid on a German website recently. The most unbelievable thing about this was his daily routine at the height of his career:
-Morning: Speed to get out of bed -Afternoon: Valium to sleep during travels -Wrestling: Pain killers to be able to wrestle -Evening: Beer and cocain to have fun while partying -Night: Valium to sleep
With that kind of almost daily drug intake, I am surprised that this lifestyle did not take him sooner.

I hope he had more peace at the end than he had before that.

Good to see how a Bad News Brown shoot interview can bring families back together!

Good to see how a Bad News Brown shoot interview can bring families back together! It's the weirdest "Cat's in the cradle" situation I've ever heard of, sure.

Julie Hart, his former sister-in-law, summed him up this way:
“Really, he was the best wrestler there ever was. And as great as he was as a wrestler, he was every bit as miserable of a human being.”
