5 Superstars who left WWE for unusual reasons

#2 Dynamite Kid left WWE because of air tickets

British wrestler Dynamite Kid, was one of the first smaller sized wrestlers to make it big in WWE, thanks to his incredible high-flying moves. The former WWE Superstar, who passed away in 2018, made a name for himself in Vince McMahon's promotion in the mid-80s, but left the company in 1988, never to return again.

Dynamite Kid revealed in his book, Pure Dynamite: The Price You Pay for Wrestling Stardom (H/T Pro Wrestling Stories), that he left the company in 1988 due to issues with WWE regarding aeroplane tickets. His tag team partner, Davey Boy Smith, also followed him through the exit door.

The duo, who were known as The British Bulldogs, also had an infamous backstage fight with Jacques Rougeau, where Rougeau punched Dynamite Kid resulting in the British Superstar losing a few of his teeth. Vince McMahon had to step in to act as peacemaker between the two parties, but Dynamite Kid later revealed that his reason for leaving WWE was not his real-life feud but because of disagreement with WWE over aeroplane tickets.
