WWE News #2: Tyson Kidd Survives!
As we all know, Former WWE Tag Team Champion Tyson Kidd injured his neck in a dark match with Samoa Joe.
He underwent a neck surgery recently which was a success. Kidd noted on twitter that this is a very high risk injury and only 5% people survive and he’s among those 5%. His neck injury is being compared to the neck injuries suffered by WWE Hall of Famers Steve Austin & Edge. According to latest reports, He’s expected to be out of action for one full year.
WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart blamed Samoa Joe for Kidd’s injury and had the following to say about Joe’s Muscle Buster finisher: It’s extremely dangerous. The move that Samoa Joe did was reckless, and the way they rushed that match beforehand in the back without giving Tyson time to prepare was mistake. Tyson is, pound for pound, one of the best wrestlers in the world. And that includes his mind.
If you went behind the scenes at WWE, Tyson is an intricate piece of so many other matches. It’s a shame that a guy who is that talented and given so much to the company is hurt, but I just hope it’s not so serious that his career is over.”
Below is what Tyson Kidd tweeted:
5% of people survive this injury. 16 staples, 4 screws and a rod later and luckily I survived to tell my story. pic.twitter.com/hXpXpA0aAF
