À propos de cet audio

Dynamite and Davey: The Explosive Lives of the British Bulldogs is the triumphant but ultimately tragic story of Tom Billington and Davey Boy Smith. Cousins born just a couple of years apart in a small mining town near Wigan, Tom and Davey discovered the art of wrestling as schoolboys. Tom went on to become the Dynamite Kid, arguably the greatest and most pioneering wrestler in history, but his short temper and determination to reach the top of a sport dominated by naturally bigger men would be his undoing.

The more reserved Davey became a global superstar but followed his cousin not just into exceptionalism but into heavy substance abuse as well. Ultimately, the extraordinarily dysfunctional world of pro wrestling would prove too much for the cousins from Golborne--one proud, one naïve. Together they became the best and most influential tag team of their generation. But they could not escape their demons, and their triumphs eventually submitted to their tragedy.

Dynamite and Davey is a gripping cautionary tale.

This may be the worst read book I’d ever listened to. The author is constantly catching his breath or gasping or making other sounds. I can get past the accent but man, a pro narrator should have been used.
The book is full of exaggerations. Davey Boy’s testimony was front page news all over the world when exactly? I’m Canadian and a wrestling fan and this is the first I’ve heard of it.
What’s worse is the author invents dialogue and actions for the characters of the book. Vince McMahon literally dancing on a table when he signed the Bulldogs.
I’d recommend the Dynamite Kid autobiography over this.

Relentless Exaggeration Read Horribly
