10 Superstars who never reached their full potential

#6 Tyson Kidd

Tyson Kidd

A number of wrestlers whose wrestling careers came to an end due to unfortunate injuries. Very few of them can match up to Tyson Kidd, when it comes to the seriousness of the said injury.

One of the most talented youngsters, he never really had a real push in WWE. His only success came in tag team action when he teamed up as the Hart Dynasty. They were champions, but when his partner left Kidd was left in the lurch. He would try a singles run but was not really successful as he did not get a push.

Finally, tag-teaming with Cesaro it looked like he was about to get back on track as his chemistry with the Swiss Superman was undeniable. He was just about to get that push he had been waiting for when tragedy struck.

In a dark match on Raw, he went against Samoa Joe. He would never wrestle again. In the match he was hit with a musclebuster, Joe’s then finishing move, but things went badly wrong for him. He suffered a severe spinal injury, an injury so serious that he said only 5% survive it.

After multiple surgeries, he was able to come out of it, but he could not wrestle again, and retired to a producing capacity behind the scenes, without ever being able to fully live up to the potential that he obviously had.
