Tyson Kidd Reflects on Adjusting to His Producer Role in WWE

During a recent appearance on Busted Open Radio, WWE producer and former Superstar Tyson Kidd (aka TJ Wilson) spoke about transitioning from a role as a wrestler to his current behind-the-scenes role as a producer for WWE. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

Tyson Kidd on His Producer Role for WWE

“It’s way more fulfilling than my own in-ring career. The truth is it can be difficult, you know, because now, when I coach people or be a producer in WWE, I have to do it all verbally. … Things can get difficult at times, in the sense of always trying to freshen things up and just always be a little bit different, but the fulfillment is off the charts. It’s almost — it’s immeasurable. There [have] been so many times when I’ve left an arena or stadium — I could run through a brick wall; nothing could take me down.”

Nic Nemeth on How WWE Benefitted From Having Tyson Kidd as a Producer

“What a breath of fresh air it was to have TJ join our producers and start putting in some fresh ideas and just having his brain for all of us to borrow. I cannot stress enough how beneficial that was for all of us on the roster, and I’m sure he’s ten times better now at it. But man, huge ‘get’ for all of us behind the scenes, that people don’t really talk about much.”

Kidd on Adjusting to the Role

“You’re a little shellshocked. There’s not a manual: ‘Hey, That’s How You Become A Producer Now.’ You just get everything in WWE and just kind of get thrown into the fire, which is the beauty of it. I worked with Nic and with Seth a lot, and I mean, they helped me so much. It became such a great relationship, back-and-forth, between the three of us. And, later, Finn [Balor]. … I thank Seth and Nic a lot, I credit them a lot.”
