News On Severity Of Tyson Kidd’s Injury

It has been said that only 5% of people survive the type of injury that Tyson Kidd suffered in his match with Samoa Joe in early June. Kidd required 16 staples, 4 screws and a rod inserted.

Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that while only 5% of people survive that injury, the vast majority of those who do survive end up as quadriplegics. Meltzer said the odds that he is not in a wheelchair “are astronomical” and his injury – while it may not be exactly the same – is similar to Christopher Reeve, who became a quadriplegic after being thrown from a horse in 1995.

Meltzer said, “It is unbelievable that Tyson Kidd came through as well as he did.”
