Down Goes Kidd

WWE WORKHORSE INJURED, OUT FOR CLOSE TO A YEAR
by Mike Johnson @ 5:40 PM on 1/10/2013

WWE star Tyson Kidd (TJ Wilson), who was dubbed a "workhorse" by CM Punk on his promo this past Monday, will be out of action 10-12 months.

We're still working on details of exactly when this happened but Kidd suffered a fractured knee and a torn ACL over the holiday house show loop. I am told he actually worked on the injury after he suffered it and worked the next night of the tour as well, so he's one tough, insane SOB.

Kidd's team with Justin Gabriel had regularly been one of the best parts of WWE's secondary TV programming like Superstars, so this is a real blow to those shows.
================

Wow. That Kidd and JGabe team is cursed. Also wonder if this is why he got the mention from Punk. Anyway, best wish to him.

Oh, Kidd for Rumble '14

Damn you Shanahan!

[Cronant]

Damn.

[mrjl]

that sucks. Wonder what'll happen with Gabriel now?

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

Aww f***.

While he's never been the best utilized guy on the roster, he at least seemed to be getting some respect and consistent TV time this year.

DAMNIT!

[Sparkybob]

Terrible news, hope he can bounce back from this.

[hargh]

To the glue factory


Sucks this happened to him. Hope he has a full recovery.

[Andrew is Good]

Damn, bad luck for Kidd. It seems a lot of under carders are getting injured recently. Curt Hawkins, Trent Barreta, Derrick Bateman, Alex Riley and now Tyson Kidd. Especially after being put over huge on Monday by CM Punk.

On one hand, it's WM season. Not a good time for the lower mid-card anyway. On the other hand, after Punk's rub on Monday, this is an awful time to get injured.

This could turn out okay for him if when he comes back, they have the mindset of giving him that return push some guys get. Tyson's truly excellent in the ring, and you can make money off of guys who are fun to watch but maybe not the best promo. Just ask Evan Bourne before he destroyed his foot/added too much spice to his Christmas ham. People liked seeing him, he was exciting, he sold t-shirts. Tyson can do all of that if they'd give him an honest singles shot when he recovers.

I hate this news. Tyson is my overall favorite guy on the roster, and I always have hope they'll give him a solid push. Hopefully when he comes back he doesn't get the DiBiase Jr. treatment.

As a result of this Gabriel will be dragged into the renamed 4MB by Heath to reunite Slaybriel.

[JCBaggee]

Newest member of Aces and 8s?

Sorry, reflex.

[PKO]

Such a shame, one of the best wrestlers in WWE.

Hope he comes back happy and healthy.

With Tyson at home, Khali can finally makes his move!

[Burst]

Heath Justin for 4MB or riot.

Because when was the last time there was a stable that had both heels and faces in it without breaking up?

It would be the worst version of Edge/Lita/Matt ever.

"DALIP!!!"

I think it kind of says something about wrestling journalism that one of the most reliable sites in the middle of a new item feels the need to say outright that a guy's one of the best people around like it's a proven fact. Not saying the guy sucks, far from it, just c'mon, little objectivity please.

Anyway, neither here nor there, and it definitely does suck to hear. Hopefully it's closer to ten months than twelve, and he comes back with a more proper push waiting for him.

[THRJamesAngelo]

Terrible, terrible news. Hoping for a speedy recovery
