That all might be true, but if Hogan got pissed off because his Buddy got beat up, Dynamite might've been put on the next train back to Liverpool.

In Beefcake's defense, he probably had no idea who Bentley was and legitimately thought he was just another "mark".  In Dynamite's mind, that may have not made any difference, for whatever reason.

Louie, I hope that you don't think I was in any way shape or form praising dynamite kid, in fact if you remember I have always been right there with you when talking about him and his bullying tactics, they are unacceptable and it is shameful that they were allowed to happen. My only comment regarding him was that in this particular isolated case, it sounds like Beefcake did need to be taught a lesson.... that's all, I would have been fine if it was anyone that taught beefcake a lesson in respect... even if it wasn't dynamite. Beefcake was in the wrong in this case.  

Louie, I don't see any other comments as I read through this thread of anyone praising Dynamite kid.. or excusing his bullying behavior. I do understand your reaction though, because sometimes just seeing somebody's name makes your blood boil and makes you think of their past heinous acts. Doesn't look to me like anyone on this thread was excusing his bullying behavior, only that beefcake was in the wrong and needed to be taught a lesson in this case

Hope that makes sense, and please understand that I am and always have been right with you concerning Dynamite kid, we both feel the same way about him

Here we go again. Completely bewildering DK worship.  This makes me want to puke.  I don't care anything whatsoever about Beefcake -- in fact -- I thought he was awful, an integral part of the cartoon world I despised and caused me to tune out.

Regardless.

By any standard of civil, acceptable human behavior, DK was an abominable human being who preyed on those he knew were weaker than him..  He tormented, bullied, and perpetrated too many despicable, heinous acts to count. You are all aware of them so I won't bother with a recitation.  He is an archetypical member of the Napoleon complex club (a small man by pro wrestling world standards).  I thought I had finally read the last of DK praise. I don't just "not get it." I wonder how many of you who continue to praise DK would like you, your family or friends to be on the receiving end of the actions perpetrated by this abomination of God's given life or a similar abomination.  I prey that none of you have or ever will be.

He was a cretin.  I don't care how good his "in ring" work was.  To praise this man for the heinous acts he perpetrated, or intended to, is mindboggling. I hope he met his just rewards in the afterlife.  

Barf

Thanks. Nothing personal to you my friend or anyone else.  Just a global viewpoint.  

I suppose I would add this.  In every walk of life, there are times when someone has earned being taught a lesson, a comeuppance.   I don't know and or care about anything Beefcake did and if he earned a comeuppance - so be it.  Unfortunately, when it comes to any "lessons" administered by DK, we have a history of knowing his actions are heinously unacceptable, lesson or otherwise. It is virtually certain that any lesson DK administered to Beefcake would have been a lesson unacceptable by any civilized human standard.  If Beefcake needed to be taught a lesson, there were plenty of solid citizens that could have administered an acceptable one.
