Between the four of them, they were the BEST of the best. I can't think of a tag-team today that could compete with either of them. Tom's snap-suplexes are still the fastest I've ever seen. It's truly a shame to see the state he has fallen to, and the virtual lack of concern about him from others in the profession. Never mind the common refrain that wrestling is fake, as if the assertion of which is somehow intended to denigrate the quality of the athletes involved.
Wrestling is no more fake then Swan Lake is fake.
Never mind that both happen to follow a script, the true quality resides in the ability to raise the athletic performance to the level of an art form. While it sounds like a terrible clich , this was a guy who never took a night off, never took an easy stride, gave it everything he had night in and night out. The fans always got their money's worth when he was on the card. Clich or not in his case it was absolutely true. Suffice it to say that no one has even come close to supplanting Tommy Billington as my favorite wrestler of all time.
