Kinda defeats the purpose of the show without them

Not saying an episode about Dynamite Kid shouldn't have been made, but I feel like the tone of this episode was made to sympathize with Dynamite Kid & make excuses for his scumbaggery and save whatever legacy he has. He was a prankster & liked to joke around... he drugged and assaulted multiple people. He loved his kids... but he never made an effort to see them. He repeatedly beat his wife & pulled a shotgun on her in front of the kids. Nothing about him should be celebrated. All the talking heads (Foley, Meltzer, wife, one of the daughters, Dan Spivey and that other English jabroni) all spoke highly of him. The only ones who didn't were Jacques, Julie Hart and the other daughter.

Same thing with Nick Gage & New Jack episodes too.

He allegedly raped his wife drugging her and broke his nieces knee caps for insurance money :hhh:

You're a grown man. You shouldn't need someone to tell you he was a bad guy.

They allowed you to make the decision.

that's kind of the point of documentaries

I dont believe anything Jacques says as 100% true because hes obviously a big worker, but hes entertaining
THe story I always heard was that after punching Dynamite, him and Ray took off out the arena and that Vince McMahon stepped in saying they'd all be fired if there was any retaliations. But apparently the ex-wife believed the mob threat so who knows. He definitely fukked Dynamite Kid up.

I loved this episode even though the shyt with him pulling the gun on his wife was triggering as fukk for me. Again felt like this was an episode that could've been another 30 minutes to an hour as there was a lot of scumbag shyt he did that wasn't mentioned. Also thought they could've dug deeper into the fukked up relationship between him and Davey Boy Smith as that is interesting as hell.

i felt like they could have went more in depth...im only saying that because i bought dynamites kid bio years ago..there were things they didnt go too much in such as the big fallout between dynamite kid and davey boy smith...dynamite kid wanted to kill for what davey did to him

but the ep did do a good job of portraying him what he was if you werent in the know: a great wrestler who happened to be a big POS with a napoleon complex
