Theodore James "TJ" Wilson (born July 11, 1980), better known by the ring name Tyson Kidd, is a Canadian retired professional wrestler. He is currently signed to WWE, where he works as a producer.[4]
The final graduate of the Hart Dungeon, Wilson wrestled internationally in several promotions such as Stampede Wrestling between 1995 and 2007, where he won the Stampede International Tag Team Championship on two occasions with Bruce Hart[1] and Juggernaut,[5] the Stampede British Commonwealth Mid-Heavyweight Championship,[1] and Stampede North American Heavyweight Championship on two occasions.[1][5] Before signing with WWE, Wilson competed in Prairie Wrestling Alliance,[6] New Japan Pro-Wrestling, All Star Wrestling, and AWA Superstars of Wrestling.[1]
In November 2006, Wilson signed a developmental contract with World Wrestling Entertainment, and was assigned to various WWE's developmental territory, like Deep South Wrestling (DSW), and Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW).[1] Prior to his debut on the main roster in 2009, Wilson formed the Hart Dynasty with David Hart Smith winning the Unified Tag Team Championship with Smith in April 2010.[7][8] He retired in 2017 due to a spinal cord injury.
