Dynamite was from a family of boxers / bareknuckle fighters with a sadistic side aswell, and was taught caught wrestling early on. Bret Hart said in his book that dynamite was one of the first people he met in life with genuine knock out power in his hands.
Don't think there was many people willing to try him, if Terry funk, Dan spivey, bad news and bret say how tough you were then that says a lot.
Plus the big story used against him is that he got sucker punched.
