In Praise of Dynamite Kid (15 person items)

" On him and Chris Benoit: "Well, you know, they were like clones of each other. They were very similar. Dynamite, when I was a kid growing up, he might of set more of an image for me because I was younger, watching this older guy work. Chris is even younger than I am. So the differences when you're a young guy watching this guy, he's like on a pedestal, Dynamite Kid. When I was a kid watching, I'd go 'Wow, that guy's awesome.' And then you get older and see a guy like Benoit. He's really good "
