Wrestler

I didn't fracture my neck, I didn't break it, but technically it's actually worse. The ligament holding the C2 ruptured, so my disc hit my spinal cord.

Wrestling, at its core, is all about fan and audience participation and fan interaction live in that Arena. Live in that bingo hall, live in that gymnasium, whatever it is, man, I've wrestled in all of them.

To all of a sudden go from feeling almost invincible to being temporarily paralyzed to then having rods and screws in my neck and not really being able to move around to seeing my body change, I definitely, definitely, definitely did not feel myself at all.

I'm a constant work in progress, always working on every aspect to get better and better. You're always going to see a different Tyson Kidd.

I'm out to prove that NXT is not to be overlooked, that it's not a stepping stone or an easy place to compete. Every single guy and girl down there is hungry.

I don't know if it breaks my heart to say it or not, but I feel like my legacy might be more behind the scenes than it ever was in the ring.

So, the role of a producer is to kind of look at the show, kind of give our takes on what we see, and that'll be prior to the production meeting. Then, we kind of get assigned our matches and our segments, and then we - I like to go and collaborate with talent, and we put together what we see on TV every Monday and Friday.

I want to entertain the audience. I want the people to get their money's worth.

Adrian Neville should expect absolutely everything out of me. Like I said, he is going to be facing Tyson Kidd at his absolute best. I've got nothing to lose, and there's nothing more dangerous than a guy with nothing to lose.

I haven't wrestled in five years almost. June 1st, 2015 was my last match, and I'm at peace with it. I love what I do now, and being a part of working with the talent.

There's only one way to train, and that's being in the ring. And even in practice, it's not the same as performing in front of a crowd.

I have zero animosity with Samoa Joe. I found him my first day back at WWE after my injury and we had a very good heart to heart. I wish him nothing but the best.

So if I see what I will call like a beautiful match, if I watch it at home by myself, I'll have a hard time not in tears watching these matches.

If you embrace it, I think being an underdog becomes more of an advantage than anything.

After being temporarily paralyzed, it puts a lot of things in perspective.

I do wish my career had kept going. I think sometimes people think that we know everything in advance. We don't.

I'm like coal under pressure. I turn into a diamond.

As soon as I got hurt Kurt Angle reached out to me, Steve Austin reached out to me, and Edge, who I already had a pretty good relationship with.

I did, one time, over the past couple years look into maybe doing a little something in a Royal Rumble, just kind of as that, so that could be my last chapter, so the last time you see me is, y'know, this little thing, and it didn't work out.

I have to show the WWE Universe that I can be versatile.
