Discussion

All of the information in the article came directly from his book. - Parsonsburg

Why the fuck is he in the wheel chair? The Wikepidea doesnt evan say why? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.57.167.72 (talk) 00:05, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I added in a section about his disability, it was reverted!

He hasn't lost a leg you stupid fuck

He did have to have part of one leg amputated some time in the 2000s.62.190.148.115 (talk) 11:54, 10 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Note

Is it worth noting that many people have said that Billington has become a miserable person? Bret Hart is particularly scathing of him in his book. Killswitch Engage (talk) 01:05, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

yeah he admitted to golding a gun to his wife's head on cnn, and then said "but i never hit her" (his ex wife says otherwise) I think that interview is worth noting —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.134.94.154 (talk) 23:01, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I heard Dynamite Kid broke his niece's kneecaps for insurance money. Supposedly, he did it with a hammer while her father held her down. She now walks with a limp for the rest of her life. That true or not? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.22.215.20 (talk) 03:12, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How the fuck did steroids put him in a wheelchair? Steroids can't put you in a motherfucking wheelchair, the fact that this article blames it on steroids is ridiculous I am going to change that.

No, steroids did not put him in a wheelchair, but legal painkillers did contribute to him damaging his lower vertebrae to the point where he could no longer walk. Since the painkillers suppressed the pain, he carried on enduring spinal damage from taking bumps to the point where his spine finally gave way. If he hadn't been on pain killers, the pain would have been unendurable and so he would never have allowed his back to reach that bad condition. 62.190.148.115 (talk) 10:44, 30 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Stroke

The date of the stroke is not correct. Reading reports, they say that he suffered a stroke last week. I will remove that date since it's not accurate. Mr. C.C.^{Hey yo!}_{I didn't do it!} 11:20, 24 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Eldest daughter and son-in-law both in wrestling.

Bronwyne and her husband Dan Vander Griendt are both involved in professional wrestling. Their ring names are Dynamite Doll and Dynamite Dan. I can't find any really reliable sources as of yet. http://www.kayfabekickout.com/interviews/interview-with-the-dynamite-doll-bronwyne-billington-pro-wrestling-manager-valet *Treker (talk) 19:30, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Member of Hart Family by marriage?

This is a rather dubious claim. He actually married into the Smadu family. Bret Hart also married into the Smadu family, so their (first) wives are sisters Michelle and Julie Smadu. This made each wife the other man's sister-in-law, but there is no relationship term for a partner's sibling's partner. His cousin David "Davey Boy" Smith's wife was Bret's sister Diana, so she was Dynamite's, erm, cousin-in-law? If there is any such thing. 95.148.22.136 (talk) 00:32, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
