Tyson Kidd has all the respect in the world for TNA Wrestling’s Chris Bey.
WWE Producer TJ Wilson (Tyson Kidd) was a recent guest on Developmentally Speaking. During the show, Wilson revealed that he’s been regularly communicating with Chris Bey following his neck injury that took place in TNA Wrestling last year.
“I’ve been in contact with him this whole time,” Tyson Kidd said. “DMing him and just, I told him this whole time, ‘You’re gonna make a full recovery and I truly believe that.’ Some of it’s from experience, but I was never truly in the same situation he was in and I was in a different version but a similar one and so I tell him, ‘Some days are gonna be really hard and these will just sound like words but just know you can’t give up. The second you give up, it’s over.’
“It’s absolutely over, in anything. If you give up podcasting right now, it’s over. But if you keep going, you don’t know what’s on that other side. You don’t know. So, and Chris Bey, he’s been so… I was at my ring. He sent me a video of him standing up by himself. I was emotional. I was like, ‘Man, you inspired the hell out of me.’ Like I said, I’ve been in this business for 30 years. I have seen a lot and I’m inspired all the time by people and I’ve never even met Chris Bey. I’ve never even physically met this man yet.
“Nattie’s ultimate plan is to bring him to The Dungeon. We really wanna do that when the time is right. But, look at his progress. It’s because he just keeps pushing. He doesn’t give up. In that situation, put myself in a similar situation, you can’t, you can’t give up. Getting hurt was brutal, and the paralysis was the scariest thing ever.
“But, fast-forward a few weeks when I had the surgery, when I woke up from the surgery was the worst, outside of the paralysis. The waking up from the surgery was the worst I felt because they had to cut through my head so now my head was throbbing on top of my neck. It was awful. I just remember waking up and being like, ‘Ah, I wish I didn’t get this surgery.’ It was a process. I couldn’t give up.” [H/T: POST Wrestling]
