One more time? An injury can be one of the scariest things that you see in the wrestling world as you never know how bad things are going to be. The impact can range anywhere from just a bruise to ending someone’s career, which happens more often than anyone should be comfortable with seeing. Every once in a while though, you see someone come back from what was considered a career ending injury. We may be a long way off from something like that, but it may be the case with someone else down the road.
There may not be a more famous wrestling family than the Harts. While Bret Hart is the most famous member, his brothers and extended family had some incredibly successful careers of their own. It helps when the family continues on for multiple generations, with several of the younger members marrying fellow wrestlers. One of the members who was a wrestler at one point could be trying to make one more run.
A video has been released of former WWE star Tyson Kidd training in a wrestling ring, both alone and with his wife Natalya. Kidd is shown running the ropes and exchanging holds with Natalya in a series of drills. This comes over five years after Kidd was injured during a match with Samoa Joe on June 1, 2015 and has not wrestled since. At the moment, there is no indication that Kidd would be allowed to return to the ring or if he is attempting to do so. Kidd attempted to be cleared to participate in this year’s Royal Rumble but his request was turned down.
Call it a hope spot? Check out Kidd training and what he could do when healthy:
Opinion: This is a situation where I wouldn’t get my hopes up. Kidd is forty years old and was hardly the kind of a star that Edge was at any point of his career. It would be nice to see him getting back in the ring for one more match as he was just starting to become a bigger deal, but there are some things that do not need to be risked. Maybe Kidd is just working out, but it is a cool thing to think about after believing there was no chance for such a long time.
