Tyson Kidd = Wasted Talent?

Photo-Sniper

Easily in the top 5 wrestlers in the WWE in my opinion.

I think WWE are really underusing him. His matches in NXT and Smackdown are always great and even the other night in the Battle Royale he put on a good show.

What do yee think? Highly underused wrestler IMO anyway.

Great talent if they gave him a chance he could be as good bryan.

Good in the ring,but bland as bland can be personality wise,unfortunately for him.

Weirdly, my mom has become a fan of his since seeing him in Dublin teaming with Regal.

I love Kidd as a wrestler, his skills in the ring are top notch.

Tyson got screwed when they stuck him with DH Smith. Smith was a really awkward looking wrestler and really not even close to polished, natural looking like Tyson. So it held him back and he never developed any mic skills as part of the hart Dynasty.

Then he ended up alone and jobbed out. Eventually ending up on NXT where he has done really well - going face he had the chance to improve his 'Performing' skills like interaction with the crowd, his ability to talk has improved a lot and I think he deserves a better position than NXT or Smackdown Jobber.

He spent a lot of time jobbing which is a problem. Ironically a tag team run could help now, if he was part of a successful team he could be seen as a winner again and he has the skills to make it as a singles wrestler now that he didn't have when the Hart Dynasty split.

Agree 100%. If I had a "WWE Push in the Bank" briefcase I would give it to him.

That actually isn't true he is pretty ok and VERY likeable given the chance. This view is mainly based on his NXT work but I could certionly see someone say otherwise if they didnt see that.

He's a great wrestler, but that comes second (at best) in WWE. It's a shame WWE don't use managers very often, he could have used one. Maybe Regal in a mentor role and occasional tag partner?

He was beginning to team with Justin Gabriel but then Gabriel got injured. Wished they had teamed him with Trent Baretta

He is quality, huge fan of his and he's a really nice bloke in person. He told me at axxess to tweet him the picture I took of me and him together and he followed me after that.

Nice lad and very underused. WWE struggle to use that type of talent, Punk and Bryan fought there way into the top spots and had a heavy fan following.

Hopefully we see him get a big push, I was hoping he was going to win that battle royal at Over the Limit.

Maybe they are waiting for Gabriel to return?

Was hoping the same thing but unfortunately the second Christian returned, we all knew who was going to win.

Not a bad thing though. Christian as a face is a good thing IMO

I really wouldn't put all that much between them.

Kidd and ciano316 to team up, you heard it here first.

Would love to see Kidd in the X-Division

I never said he was on the same Level,i said he could be as good if they gave him a chance he is a great all rounder in the ring.

He's smooth in the ring, looked great at the Mania preshow but the crowd couldn't care less as they (and I) aren't interested in his character. He has a lot of people championing him (including backstage) but has his promo skills/personality improved? Although not quite the black hole of charisma that DH was, Tyson wasn't far behind the last time I saw him on the mic. Has he cut any decent promos? That'd get him noticed far easier.

WWE did drop the ball with the Hart Dynasty by not making Bret their mouthpiece.

montyrebel

met him this year before the belfast show and all the wee kids loved him, surely if the WWE can make money there by keeping him a face then they will keep him around and hopefully give him the push he deserves imo

Good point about kids liking him.

As said here he is a genuinely nice guy so kids would warm to him when they meet him.

He did have an issue getting people to have interest in him while he was in the ring but as seen on NXT he can work the crowd now. Tyson is like Kofi in that he can do some really cool, smooth, natural looking moves that kids will love.

Kidd is a great talent very underrated and underused I dont want him in a tag team hopefully as a singles wrestler he could go for the IC or US title and move up the card (if not out the door )

If Ziggler ever leaves Vickie and turns face she could take Kidd under her management wings

^ His match with Daniel Bryan from last year on SD pretty damn good

grames_bond

I really thought they were giving him a bit of a push with the "different manager every week" thing they had him do before - too bad he jobbed every week as it could have been a good gimmick for SD!

I wish!! Not to sound a bit fruity but I think we all have wanted to wear the pink and black haha

Would he benefit by hooking up with this AW character?
If they stick with that storyline it might help bring a little awareness to talent on the roster who aren't over.

Dracula88

By far the most underrated wwe superstar on the entire roster looking forward to his return

bobby_says_hi

He's definitely much more natural as a face. The only problem is a few people find him boring. He's likeable enough and I think he could be respectably over if he was pushed. He was very over with the Full Sail fans at the first NXT tapings. I'd honestly just like to see him getting more high profile matches on PPV. I don't see him getting a title or a main event push
