Tom ‘Dynamite Kid’ Billington Passes Away
Davey Boy Smith Jr posted the following on Twitter, announcing the passing of Tom “Dynamite Kid’ Billington. WWE has also confirmed the news. Billington passed away at the age of 60 following a long battle with health issues. He’s best known for his run with the British Bulldogs tag team, and for his innovative matches in the 80s with the original Tiger Mask. On behalf of 411, I’d like to extend my condolences to the family, friends, and fans of M. Billington.
