John Hindley, best known as Johnny Smith (born August 7, 1965) is a British professional wrestler.
John was originally billed as Davey Boy Smith's brother, Johnny Smith. He followed The Dynamite Kid to wrestle for All Japan Pro Wrestling and replaced Davey Boy Smith as Dynamite Kid's tag team partner. On April 10, Johnny Smith collapsed prior to his match at an All Japan Pro Wrestling show, Paramedics were called to the Hiroshima Arena and Smith was rushed to a local hospital, Smith had lost feeling in some parts of his body, due to massive amounts of pain killers, but was in stable condition at a local Japanese hospital. The Japanese media is suggesting the collapse was related to the use of painkillers, Keiji Muto attempted to down play this story in the Japanese media but with very little luck. Today John portrays a police man in full uniform, for the Canadian version of the famed Village People from the 1970s.
