Quotes by Tyson Kidd
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 lived with Stu Hart and the rest of the Hart's. So, I could go to the Hart Dungeon any time I wanted.
When we lay something out and the talent goes out there, I'm part of the creative process of helping putting things together maybe putting things in different places. When they go out there and execute it even better than I have it imagined in my head, it is just a great feeling.
Like, man, I would love to wrestle Roman Reigns. I would love to wrestle Gable, or Shorty G, I would love to.
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.
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 love sitting and collaborating with people and just being creative and we are all throwing out ideas and next thing you know some magic is being made in the ring that I had a small little part in.
Before I got hurt, I was on the road five days a week and then I'd come home for a day and a half. And some of those times, I'd be filming Total Divas, so at some point I was working seven days a week, which I was cool. I loved it.
Wrestling and WWE has given me a good opportunity as a talent. I just want to give back and give everything that I can now that I physically can't do this anymore.
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.
