Footage of Jeff Hardy CD Release Party, Tyson Kidd Talks Altering Ring Style Following Surgery

Jeff Hardy cd release party​The following is video footage of the Jeff Hardy CD release party which took place last night in Cincinnati, Ohio:

WWE star Tyson Kidd, who recently returned to the ring following injury, was interviewed by WWE.com, and the following is what Kidd had to say regarding altering his in-ring style following surgery:

"I originally thought I would, but I’m very, very stubborn," Kidd said. "I’d been doing cardio since week six of my rehab, and after two minutes in the ring the day I got cleared, I was done. It felt like I’d wrestled a 30-Minute Handicap Match. I was dying. I mean, this sounds bad, but in terms of my conditioning and my wind, I may as well have been sitting on my couch for eight months. 

"There’s only one way to train, and that’s being in the ring. And even in practice, it’s not the same as performing in front of a crowd. You’re constantly feeding off their energy and their reactions and trying to feel them out. It’s a different aspect than practicing in the ring on your own. That’s been my limitation. But the only way to improve is to run that tank on empty, and then refill again. If you’re afraid and don’t let yourself get to empty, you’ll never build your conditioning. I learned that from my Japanese trainer, Tokyo Joe, a long time ago. But I’m not going to let my knee alter anything I do in the ring. My move set is part of what makes me unique and there’s no way I’m going to throw that away out of fear."
