Tyson Kidd: One ‘Benefit’ Of The Broken Neck Club Is Steve Austin Becomes Your Friend

Tyson Kidd details a conversation he had with Stone Cold Steve Austin following his neck surgery.

WWE backstage producer Tyson Kidd was a recent guest on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet. When it was brought up that some fans don’t understand that his particular neck injury is different than what others have had, Kidd admits he gets those kinds of messages quite a bit.

“I get those messages a lot, and I get that mindset; I understand where that comes from,” Tyson Kidd said. “I believe Steve Austin has the second highest, at least in terms of WWE wrestlers, in terms of how high their fusion is. His was, I think a C three and C four. Most of the normal one is like C five and six, or six and seven, mine C one and C two, the very top two vertebrae in your body minor fused. That’s the difference.

“That’s why even when it happened when I posted the picture of the scar, the staples in the back. One of the benefits of joining the broken neck club is, as I refer to it, Steve Austin becomes a friend of yours, and he reaches out to you and your text and phone call all the time.

“But I posted that picture, and within like 20 minutes, Austin was either calling me or texting me. And he’s like, ‘Kid, why did they go through the back? Why not through the front?’ And I explained that, Steve, it’s the equivalent of where they went is the equipment in my mouth. That’s when my fusion is adjacent to my mouth.”
