Tyson Kidd was recently interviewed by Jan Murphy for a great piece in the The Kingston Whig-Standard. The piece dives into a variety of topics about Kidd’s life and career.
One of the most interesting parts was when Kidd spoke about his current relationship with Samoa Joe. Kidd’s career was ended after taking Joe’s ‘muscle buster’ move at a WWE live event a few years ago.
Here is what Kidd said about their relationship:
“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.” “Joe did come to the hospital that night,” he said, revealing that he stayed in touch with Joe. “We spoke that night. We would text throughout the time I was hurt, but I only saw him face to face when I got hurt and when I did see him that night, things were still up in the air with the severity of my injury. He was definitely remorseful and I think we all are when we hurt somebody and when somebody gets hurt under our watch. Stuff happens. We perform at such a high level so many days a week that things are going to happen. We just have to do the best we can to take care of each other and to let a person know that we’re there for them when they do get hurt.
My first day back as a producer after two years, once I was out of meetings, he was the first guy who I Terminator-style sought out and found. And we had a very good talk and we’re friends. We get along great.”
Interesting to hear from Kidd on this topic.
