Thomas Wilton Billington (born December 5, 1958) in Golborne, Lancashire is an English retired professional wrestler. He is considered one of the greatest pure wrestlers in the history of the industry and, along with his partner and cousin, Davey Boy Smith, comprised one of the most popular and highly-regarded wrestling tag teams during the mid-1980s when tag-team wrestling reached its zenith. His English training combined with an aerial arsenal honed during numerous tours in Japan influenced a generation of current wrestling stars, especially those normally associated with Stu Hart's "Dungeon." In later years he has written an autobiography, titled Pure Dynamite.
