I remember posting in this thread, I want to say around four years ago... Kidd Bandit was one of the pandemic era rookies that could have been a break out hit for the Nightmare Academy. He was one of the few acts Cody worked against on DARK (not even Lee Johnson or Barron Black got that rub) which shows that even the current WWE Champ saw something in him. Bandit had a very vibrant look with over-the-top moves that will pop most kids at indies, much like Jeff Hardy had back in the day. Even if he didn't make it above mid-card level in AEW, TNA etc. you know for a fact he'd be one of the most mass produced for toys and other merch. Even the Black's are cool with Jeff Hardy. That could have been him!
Instead, what we are witnessing is the harsh reality of porn addiction and the lack of a solid support network. He got vanity support from gooners and groomers, pushing him into a path of self-medication and forced validation to the point of no return. Kidd was historically a very fat and ugly dude, so the fact so many of his replies are chasers wanting to fuck him has likely resulted in the inflated ego he has.
Just fucking hurts to see man. In such a short timespan too.
