Career

Training

Wilson trained at Stu Hart's Dungeon in Calgary. Wilson furthered his wrestling training under the watch of Tokyo Joe, who later helped him get booked in NJPW as well as in England.[5] He wrestled his first match in Stampede Wrestling in Calgary at the age of fifteen.[5] At age sixteen, he wrestled in the opening match of a World Wrestling Federation house show in Calgary.[5]

Japan and Stampede Wrestling

In April 2002, Wilson was given a chance to wrestle in Japan.[5] He completed five tours in Japan,[6] including for the Best of the Super Junior Tournament in New Japan Pro Wrestling.[5]

As a part of Stampede Wrestling, Wilson was nicknamed the "Stampede Kid".[5] He held his first championship in the promotion in February 2004, when Wilson became Bruce Hart's new tag team partner and co-holder of the Stampede Wrestling International Tag Team Championship to replace the injured Teddy Hart.[7] He won the Stampede British Commonwealth Mid-Heavyweight Championship on October 15, 2004 by beating Duke Durrango.[8] In October 2005, Wilson and Durrango were made the bookers for Stampede Wrestling.[1] On September 15, 2006, Wilson defeated Apocalypse to capture the Stampede North American Heavyweight Championship in a match that took place at half time of Calgary Stampeders vs. Winnipeg Blue Bombers Canadian Football League game at McMahon Stadium.[1] On Novmember 10, 2006, Wilson replaced one-half of the Tag Team Champions Pete Wilson, who was injured, and became Juggernaut's tag team partner.[7] Wilson had his final singles match for Stampede on January 26, 2007.[2][9] He returned on February 9, 2007, for his final match with the promotion, defending his International Tag Team Championship, against The A-Team (Michael Avery and Dusty Adonis).[10] He and Juggernaut won the match, however, afterwards Wilson awarded the Championship to The A-Team, as he was leaving and couldn't defend the Championship.[10] He was also heavily involved with training the younger stars of the promotion at a camp called B.J.'s Gym.[5]

World Wrestling Entertainment

Wilson signed with World Wrestling Entertainment in November 2006,[6] after receiving impressive reviews from former WWE trainer Bill DeMott. He moved to WWE developmental territory Deep South Wrestling (DSW) in February 2007 with fellow signee and girlfriend Nattie Neidhart.[2][6] When DSW and WWE parted ways, Wilson relocated to Tampa, Florida to train in the WWE developmental facility Florida Championship Wrestling. In late 2007, he worked with Harry Smith, Nattie Neidhart, Teddy Hart, and Ted DiBiase, Jr. as the Next Generation Hart Foundation.

On December 1, 2007, he won the FCW Southern Heavyweight Championship by defeating Afa, Jr. in a ladder match.[11] He lost it to Ted DiBiase, Jr. on December 18.[12] In mid 2008, he began teaming with Smith again, and the two were managed by Natalya (Nattie Neidhart).[13] On October 30, they won the FCW Florida Tag Team Championship,[13] but they lost it to Tyler Reks and Johnny Curtis on December 11, 2008 at the FCW television taping.[14]

ECW and SmackDown

Wilson made his WWE television debut on the February 10, 2009, episode of ECW on Sci Fi managed by real-life girlfriend Natalya, under the name Tyson Kidd, defeating a local wrestler, Bao Nguyen.[15] Although Natalya was managing Kidd on ECW, she was still officially a member of the SmackDown brand, until April 15, 2009, when she was drafted to ECW as part of the 2009 Supplemental Draft to join Kidd.[16] On the May 12 episode of ECW, Kidd's match with Finlay was interrupted by DH Smith, now using the name David Hart Smith, who attacked Finlay to aid Kidd.[17] Kidd, Smith and Neidhart formed The Hart Trilogy, which was later changed to The Hart Dynasty on the May 26 episode of ECW.[18][19]

On June 29, The Hart Dynasty were traded to the SmackDown brand.

Personal life

At the age of ten, Wilson became close with the Hart family after befriending Teddy Hart.[5] He also lived with Harry Smith for several years.[5]

He has dated Nattie Neidhart since November 2001,[6] and the two have lived together for over five years.[6]
