Pure Dynamite: The Price You Pay for Wrestling Stardom

Tom Billington, known to fans as the Dynamite Kid, grew up in England and trained in Calgary within the warm circle of the Hart family. He went on to wrestle in the WWF, sharing rings with giants such as Andre the Giant, Hulk Hogan and Mick Foley. Sixteen years in the business have left him with lasting injuries: he is now confined to a wheelchair, and years of steroid use have harmed his heart and private life. This memoir traces his career step by step, both as a solo performer and as one half of the British Bulldogs tag team with Davey Boy Smith. Frank and unsparing, it presents his story as a warning as much as a tale of glory, showing what fame in the ring can cost.
