A biography for Tyson Kiddhasn’t been written yet.
“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.”
“I'm like coal under pressure. I turn into a diamond.”
“If you embrace it, I think being an underdog becomes more of an advantage than anything.”
“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.”
“There's an unwritten protocol when you hurt somebody. And when I say you hurt somebody, obviously it's not on purpose, but it still happens. I know I've rocked guys before where I checked on them after to make sure everything's cool.”
“When I saw Air Boom perform, I went out of my mind. It was two guys with high-octane offence forming a team. It was exciting.”
“I lost feeling for about five seconds. Everything. Head to toe. Times ten. You just sit there in no control. I was in no control, I was at a higher power's mercy. You're just sitting there, all of a sudden your body feels like it weighs like two million pounds.”
“I want to win the title and defend it around the world and have it seen on 'Total Divas.' I want the NXT Championship to be worldwide, so everybody knows what it is.”
“My main goal is to leave everything I have out there in that ring at every arena.”
“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.”
“Even though I do feel great right now, there is a chance that if I were to try to wrestle that I might reinjure myself. It might not be in that first match back and may not be in that second match back, but there is a chance.”
“Like, man, I would love to wrestle Roman Reigns. I would love to wrestle Gable, or Shorty G, I would love to.”
“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'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.”
“If you're afraid and don't let yourself get to empty, you'll never build your conditioning. I learned that from my Japanese trainer, Tokyo Joe, a long time ago.”
“Just sitting in a steam room, you can't breathe. When you're doing Hindu squats in one and you get past 100, your whole body feels numb and you keep going. You start to find your limits and push your body past those limits, making new ones.”
“I liked helping talent with their matches prior to my injury. Obviously, now as a producer it becomes more a larger responsibility than just me as a talent giving advice. What I didn't know was I didn't know how fulfilling it could actually be.”
“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.”
“My tryout match for WWE was against Kofi. I was unsigned, and then I got signed by working the dark matches. I wrestled with Kofi in my first TV match at Deep South Wrestling. We've done single matches, tag matches, all the way to producing.”
“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.”
