5 Wrestling Careers That Ended Too Soon

#5.) Dynamite Kid

Dynamite Kid is one of those wrestlers from the 1980s who was years ahead of his time. He grew as a performer in Stampede Wrestling under the tutelage of  Stu Hart and he was one of the rare high-flyers of his time. Apart from just his flashy and attractive style of wrestling, he was a technically gifted performer who enjoyed success in WWF with Davey Boy Smith.

He had a four-year stint with the company before leaving after a dispute management. He would spend the remaining 8 years of his career at Stampede Wrestling at AJPW, but his wrestling style proved to be too reckless as he suffered several injuries, broken bones and even multiple seizures. His career ended abruptly in 1996 at the age of 38. He would be paralyzed after that throughout his life.
