Career
Hindley was trained by his nephew Ted Betley firstly in Winwick Warrington and then Port Erin Isle of Man. He wrestled in the UK for many years before moving over to Canada with his wife Jane. Hindley also wrestled under John Savage. Hindley was originally billed as Davey Boy Smith's brother, Johnny Smith.[1] He followed The Dynamite Kid to wrestle for All Japan Pro Wrestling and replaced Davey Boy Smith as Dynamite Kid's tag team partner.[1] On April 10, 2003, Hindley collapsed prior to his match at an All Japan Pro Wrestling show.[1] Paramedics were called to the Hiroshima Arena and Hindley was rushed to a local hospital, having lost feeling in some parts of his body, but was in stable condition at a local Japanese hospital.[1] The Japanese media is suggesting the collapse was related to the use of painkillers, Keiji Mutoh attempted to down play this story in the Japanese media but with very little luck.[1] Today, Hindley works as a police man for the Calgary City police.[1]
