Dynamite loved the Nasty Boys from some tours of Japan they did together in the late ‘80s. Their friendship was based around the Nasty Boys keeping up with Dynamite at the bars after the show and letting him ash out his cigarettes on their heads. So it wasn’t really a positive, healthy friendship per se.
Knobbs was the one who found out where Dynamite Kid was living in the slums of Manchester and took Bret there during an off day during one of the WWF’s European tours after Bret became World Champ.
