10 Most Devastating WWE Superstar Injuries Of 2015
6. Tyson Kidd
Tyson Kidd is one of the real unsung heroes of WWE. A time-tested workhorse, Kidd is an excellent technical wrestler and impressive athlete who could make anyone look good. He has suffered from injuries in the past, but earlier this year he was teaming with Cesaro, and the duo were actually doing well together. Then, midway through the year, Kidd suffered a serious spinal cord injury that will keep him out of action for over a year. The injury was so severe that many observers noted that its downright amazing that Kidd survived the injury without ending up quadriplegic, as many who do injure themselves in this way end up like that. At this point, Kidds WWE future is uncertain. Hed in his mid-thirties, has suffered multiple serious injuries, and was a lower-card performer for many years. Even if he were to recover fully from his current injury (which is very unlikely), there might not be a guaranteed position for him available in WWE by that point. This is all very tragic, especially considering that Kidd was getting genuine reactions from fans because they loved his in-ring work and not because he was some larger-than-life character.
