3. Tyson Kidd
Pre-injury, Tyson Kidd was having a great 2015. After the Hart Dynasty stable fell apart, he was largely cast as a talented jobber. Recall back to the 2011 Royal Rumble, where he was used as comedy fodder to take an Attitude Adjustment from Hornswoggle. It's a bit of a wonder how he didn't end up released like his old partner Harry Smith. In January of this year, Kidd was paired with fellow underutilized wrestler Cesaro, and it immediately clicked. The two became one of the highlights of the main roster, and got so over with fans that they were turned face. They enjoyed a short title run, and looked set to be one of the top teams for the rest of the year. That was until a house show match with Samoa Joe. Something went wrong when Kidd took the Muscle Buster, and he suffered a severe spine and neck injury. It could have killed him. He sat out of the rest of the year, and it's unclear when he will be able to return. The only positive to take away is that hopefully Kidd can continue with the momentum he gained before his injury when he returns.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
