#1: Billy Kidman keeps WWE running on time

Kidman accomplished a lot in WWE, including reigns as Cruiserweight and Tag Team Champion, before moving backstage.

As a wrestler, Billy Kidman gets pretty much the exact amount of credit he deserves.

Joining WCW in 1996, Billy Kidman remained loyal to the company during the Monday Night Wars, feuding with everyone from Perry Saturn to Hulk Hogan, with Kidman defeating the Hulkster in 2000, in what he claimed to be the true death of Hulkamania.

Spoilers: it wasn’t.

After the company folded in 2001, Kidman joined the WWE, capturing the Cruiserweight championship multiple times, before transitioning to a backstage role as a road agent and producer.

While the company has dozens of former Superstars in similar positions to Kidman, it is clear he has one of the toughest jobs in all of live Television.

Even though WWE works under the role of “anything can happen” the company does have to answer to networks, who have very strict rules on when the action needs to stop.

Shockingly, it is Kidman’s role to work out the timing backstage, a crucial position as even a few seconds too long can turn an intense stare down into an awkward moment.

Performing the same role the legendary Gerald Brisco once did, it is sorry that Kidman hasn’t received even half the same amount of respect, despite proving himself to be a true pro, in and out of the ring.
