There's nothing that brings superstars together like nationality, particularly if you both happen to be foreigners in the US. Wrestling is a very American dominated sport so when a competitor comes from a different place, they often use that to their advantage as a way to stand out.

One country that has always been fairly well represented in WWE is Great Britain. From The British Bulldog to Wade Barrett, Brits have been delighting the US audiences for generations. When it comes to all-round wrestling ability, however, no two superstars have represented the UK quite like The Dynamite Kid and Neville.

Dynamite is probably the least well-known member of the British Bulldogs, a highly popular tag team from the 1980s who won the tag straps at Wrestlemania 2. Davey Boy far outlasted his partner, becoming a highly impressive single's star in his own right, but this probably has more to do with Dynamite's demons and health issues that raw talent. There was always something about Dynamite Kid that stood out regardless. His matches with Japanese legend Tiger Mask in the 80s, for example, are the stuff of folklore.

A modern day example of a highly talented wrestling Brit is Neville. He is currently holding the weight of the entire WWE Cruiserweight division on his shoulders and continues to amaze audiences across the world with his feats of athleticism. The sight of him flying around the arena with Dynamite Kid by his side would be just like watching a display from the Red Arrows over Buckingham Palace.
