Have you ever read Dynamite's book? - It's an unabashed testament to how hard he considered himself to be in the fake world of pro wrestling. He wrestled hard and, like most wrestlers of the era, played harder. But he does come across as a bell-end and, despite his fall from grace, it's quite hard to feel sympathy for the man. By all accounts, Davey Boy Smith was just as bad but less stubborn and bitter and more sycophantic which probably made him more likeable to others.
