According to Sid himself, in a few interviews, the powers that be in WCW at the time requested that Sid add more flashy top rope moves to his arsenal. He chose this one. He regretted it immediately.
He should have gone for a shotgun drop kick and landed on his back.
@@chinafuture6484 or at least a double axe handle, that one is the easiest one he could do.
Should have just done a shooting star press instead
@@chinafuture6484 Top rope clothesline, he did that once against Undertaker at Wrestlemania 13.
I should point out that the match stopped in order to bring out the Mystery Man to hit Sid and then Jarrett pins Sid. Match was not thrown out.
Sid was Sid Vicious...then Sid Justice...and then "Sid"...just goofy stuff....
About Sid, he didn't just decide to add a top rope move to his arsenal. He was told in the back to do so, much against his own desire to do it.
and i am sure they have said as much in an older video, so why it is wrong here is weird
Who can forget Norman S-mileyyy and his wiggles? That definitely will make you pause on your tracks and fathom😂
Gotta love the big wiggle!
Till you get floored with a clothesline
Screamin’ Norman with the big wiggle
It was really cool
Sid's move from the top rope was NOT his idea. WCW management felt he needed to add a top rope move to his arsenal! 🙄
Jimmy Valiant was telling me this story. They told him he should try it one time and if he didn’t like it then he wouldn’t have to do it again… that didn’t turn out so good.
I still say it’s Sid’s own fault that he tried something like a big boot. I would have gone with a double axe handle, which you can land safely from and that doesn’t take a lot of agility to do. Plus, it would have looked great coming from someone that size. But when you are Sid’s size and land on one leg, yeah, you can’t expect it to go well.
You missed Brian Pillman's "I respect you booker man" moment in a match with Kevin Sullivan. That literally stopped the match.
I thought that was gonna be the match they showed
I disagree, b/c the match was technically over and Sullivan won once Pill said that and an impromptu match with Arn Amderson started right after.
@@Paulthompson9942 So did I.
That was the match stipulation. Sullivan won the “strap match”. Which Pillman had to utter the words “I respect you”
@@huffy6192 The match lasted all of 30 SECONDS before Pillman grabbed the mic and said the words "I respect you booker man" and then left. Wasn't a full match!
8:15 the reason Sid added the top rope move was apparently because of pressure from Johnny Ace to do it.
Yea, he was always a smart one, that Johnny. LOL
I LOVE that battle royal leading into title match with Dean Malenko's return!
Using the Birth of NWO scene as an example, I'd LOVE to see a list done, some day, discussing matches that either never officially started or never officially ended (like there's one of Undertaker vs Kane from Summerslam that never had an ending).
Dude the Ciclope’/Malenko reveal got a massive pop out of ME back in the day, and I was watching at home. It was one of those moments that made me fall in love with wrestling.
From what I remember from a Sid interview, it was Johnny Laurenitis idea for that big boot off the middle rope
I actually remember watching that episode when he broke his leg like that. Gnarly
That's why I can never trust Johnny Ace ever again.
Also Scott Steiner cut that AWESOME promo about that sid leg broke.
Sid kept refusing and smartly so, he didn't need to go from the top. He did 2nd rope moves his whole career.
It was his idea to add "more flashy moves from off the ropes". Sid, not being able to come up with anything that made sense for a guy his size, chose that. He should've known that wasn't a good choice before he snapped the last third of his leg. It was a pretty stupid suggestion overall.
All love for Rick Martel. Hated him when I was a kid. But straight up guy. And the heels are usually the better people.
Haa!
Referee Marc Curtis is the shit. He was always an enjoyable ref. to watch, very expressive
😄👍
There’s also Flyin’ Brian Pillman vs. The Taskmaster Kevin Sullivan at SuperBrawl 6 “I respect you, Booker Man!”
1:05 No contract clause on his contract 😂
That would be epic. As soon as they try to hold to your contract you be like “My contract says I don’t have a contract so I’m leaving brotha!”
No CONTACT
Pretty sure Sid was against a high risk move like that
He was. It was Johnny Ace's idea.
That leg break on Sid still gives me the wobbles to this day! Horrible! 😬
The Mark Curtis kicking the fan incident was made funnier by the commentators discussing it.
“The smallest referee in the world just took him down!”
Oy Simon were u on triple jump? Just found em, thank you for being there and your why i watch wrestling vids. WCW for life! You keep me up to date on a bygone era of my life. You are why i still think about wras-el-ing
That sid incident makes me wince even now...
that following Nitro the replayed Syd's injury like 234 times, and that is when WCW lost me
You forget to mention that WCW higher-ups FORCED Sid to do that stupid 'high risk' move... Sid was against it... HE KNEW BETTER! Also, you didn't mention that the Scott Steiner/Sid match COULDN'T END because there was a 'mystery man' that was supposed to reveal himself during the match... which became Road Warrior Animal... WCW 2001... smh
WCW is legendary
OMG I've NEVER seen that Sid Vicious shot until now. Maaaaaaaaaaaaan THAT had to hurt
IIRC Sid was pinned after his accident, Animal and Stiner started kicking him on the ground and just pinned him ending the match quickly.
To make matter worse, Sid didn't want to use a top rope move, management told him to add it in to surprise the fans with, they thought a top rope big boot would make the croud pop for whatever reason.
Who's Stiner?
@@k.konczak3291 Steiner*
He's the genetic freak
@@WaterInmyHands Ik who Scott Steiner is.
Brian Hildebrand (referee Marc Curtis) was an amazing wrestler. He could wrestle ALL styles. His high metabolism wouldn’t let him put on weight. So it doesn’t surprise me he clocked a fan and took him out.
The Sid leg break is something I saw on ppv at the time and it was brutal still can't watch it
for #1 sid didn't decided to do it, he was ordered to.
What about Macho Man vs La Parka on nitro? When all of a sudden La Parka hit Savage with the diamond cutter and revealed he wasn't La Parka but DDP IN DISGUISE!
My fav isn't on the list. Buff Bagwell vs la parka. The two were told their time was being cut so Jeff Jarrett could debut, interfere and cut a promo. Bagwell did his taunts, motioned for la parka to hit him, and then laid down for the three.
Fun Fact: Booker T and Perry Saturn had a match right after Booker's match with Martel, and it was called completely on the fly.
Yeah....he mentioned that in the video.
@@HurriShane00 Sometimes I'll comment before the video is done. Seems I did it again.
Sid was instructed by management to add some high flying moves, he didn’t decide to do it.
I have to say, so much more awesome that the ref takes out a rogue fan than the talent.
Steiner did pin sid before help got there, After a run in from Road Warrior animal, Sid lay there in agony for literally 5 minutes while he did a slow walk from a limo to the ring
The moment when this video literally stopped : @4:48 , everyone paused it and went looking for the footage
What about "Dean Malenko literally steps out of the ring"
Paul orndorff breaking his neck on a pilediver was pretty scary
Sid is the Ruler of the Softball World.
Haha Steiner doing push-ups is classic.
The spot with Sid wasn’t his idea. He’s said in a couple shoot interviews it was someone involved in booking at the time but I can’t recall who. They supposedly got into an argument over it & Sid finally gave in…
It was Johnny Ace (Laurinaitis)was in WcW at the time
I've seen plenty of videos referencing Sid's leg, but I hadn't actually seen it before now. GAAAAHHHH.
Ok WhatCulture, you don't have to show Sid's broken leg every time you talk about it, WCW did enough of that on Nitro the next night.
When people ask me what my favorite Steve Doll match is, I of course say the one from the May 27th, 1996, episode of Nitro.
I was sitting watching this video and sadly in the very first video it hit me all four people in the video Bobby The Brain Brian pillman Eddie Guerrero and the referee all four of them are dead already SMH 🙏🙏🙏
When Scott hall showed up shocking
That sid Injury was horrifying and brutal
Sid said they asked him to do it, and he said "I'm not a top rope guy. I don't do those moves." And they said "Yeah but wouldn't it be cool if you did?"
Don't forget, when the Sid injury happened, the cameras were on Ric Flair escorting a disguised "mystery man" who came in the ring, bopped Sid... pinned him... and then revealed himself to be Road Warrior Animal (nobody cared).
JESUS CHRIST I was not prepared to see Sid's leg go Joe Theissman sideways!
Actually when Bobby said who side is he on, thats when i know Hogan was the 3rd man.
The loose cannon angle was agreed in secret with Eric Bischoff but Eric chose not to share this wider
The DDP/Goldberg match at least got a much larger audience on the nitro the next night
Doll died way back in 2009 and Enos now owns a painting company.
Billy Kidman vs Dean Malenko.
Catch is catch can match
Meaning neither wrestler was allowed to leave the ring during the match.
A couple of minutes in. Dean rolled out of the ring. Ending the match. Which I guess Dean had forgotten the rules.
All I can say is that I miss WCW
enjoyable video as always.. but did the Dean Malenko reveal actually stop a match? he had already won the match technically.
They meant the handshake moment itself, I think. Like, everyone went "What?" when instead of wrestling, Juventud just jumped the ropes.
Why is nobody talking about how Sid didn't want to do a top rope move but was told to backstage?
This is a yes and no one - Brian Pillman Vs Kevin Sullivan when Pillman just says “I respect you Bookerman”. Yes the match was supposed to end when one of the wrestlers in the strapmatch couldn’t take anymore and to end the match the loser was supposed to so “I respect you” to his opponent. No because the match had hardly started and they hadn’t even put their hands in the strap when Brian Pillman rushes at a confused referee, grabs the mic out his hand, says “I respect you Bookerman” to an audible laugh from some of the audience and confusion to everyone else as Brian Pillman walks back to the locker room giving the middle finger to the crowd
As bad as 99 WCW was, insane Flair was some of my favorite TV ever near the beginning. Went down hill once they out him in the nut house.
Don’t forget the Ye-Tay debuting at Halloween Havoc 1995 during the Hogan-Giant World title match. On second thought forget it.
Paul Orndorff from Fall Brawl 2000 Filthy Animals VS Natural Born Thrillers?
Can you imagine what might've happened if Dude Love ever used Sweet Shin Music on Sid Vicious???
It’s a WWF match, but Vinny Mc interrupted too cools match before it started to accept Austin’s challenge. April 13,1998 RAW
For me the 98 Halloween Havoc main event did not cut out I wonder if the was just for cable as I had directv,
Dean malenko and jericho great feud
To be fair, DDP & Goldberg's match wasn't stopped: the live feed was. The match still went on.
Sin with Sid ended with a pinfall
Mankind thrown from he'll in a cell and then threw the cell....kinda
Rocks 14 chair shots to mankind...kinda
Vader eye posed out but to be fair he put it back in.
None of that was wcw
Remember when the one big guy pointed a finger at the other guy and then pinned him for the belt? What do you think fans would think? Never do stuff that requires no ability at all.
The night Hogan turned heel my brother right then and there called Hogan vs Sting at Starrcade soon.
Never saw #1 and I never will
so we will be seeing #5 on reliving the war verrry soon.
As long as it’s Simon we won’t riot👍🏻
It’s understandable that Hennan was upset.
the screwed up thing is number 1 they didnt stop the match dead they just rushed the finish and left everyone confused
I can't believe you didn't have the time when it was the natural Born thrillers versus Paul orndorf and the filthy animals Fall brawl
Paul ondorff gave a pile driver and then just laid there like he hurt his neck or something and the match continued on for a little while until Charles Robinson just got sick of it and he's like what's wrong with you stop the match
Rey Mysterio was there when he didn't have his mask remember Konan Disco inferno
Match was insane
Rey Mysterio lost his mask in a stipulation in 1999 at WCW/n.W.o. SuperBrawlIX
@@SlicRic81 yeah it's fall brawl 2000
@@SlicRic81 about an hour in
@@stevecopper1667 I know, I saw (barely) the ppv... oh, my bad, "premium live event" on the fka 'WWE Network' some years ago while I could stomach WWE... those days are long gone now!
There was one episode of Nitro where the macho man sat in a chair in the ring and wouldn’t leave until he got his way. And they wonder why their ratings went down the toilet.
Never really liked Sid, but he got my sympathy that night. Basically forced to do something that he knew he wasn't really right for and winds up with a horrific injury. I wouldn't wish that leg break on anybody.
Everybody knew Hogan was the third man because Heenan basically said so during his entrance
No one knew that til it happen
Mike Enos is my uncle.
Sid was told to add a flying move. Only a few big men were able to do high flying moves at the that time.
I hope Sid sued for making him do something he never or should ever do.
I asked Scott Hall about that when he was still on Twitter, he said "he did!"
@@SlicRic81 bs
@@imabeast2334 uh huh... please keep your unrelevant opinion to yourself douche!
Halloween Havoc 1995 and the Yetay?
Papa Pump just does push ups, lol.
Jeff jarrett laying down just wasnt right
"A high risk maneuver." Jumping off the middle rope with a kick isn't a high risk maneuvOH MY FUCKING GOD.........
What episode of nitro had no wrestling on it?
Most of the year 2000
Paul Orndorff breaks his own neck pile driving 3 count
@7:34 Bobby Heenan did
Dammit, didn’t need so many shots of the leg, guys D=
The time rusev v Rollins ended just cause Lana and Bobby were kissing 😭
You mean the night Sid was forced to do a top rope move.. then he sued wcw for $20 dollars and won..
One week I was watching and Goldberg was like 64-0 and then I tuned in two weeks later and he was 173-0...LOL
QUIT SHOWING SID'S LEG!! 🤢🤮
It was crazy how they kept showing the footage over and over on Nitro when it had happened at the PPV the night before. Like, why?
@@CockyBalboa I remember that all too well. I can't burn the image out of my brain.
I think Simon Miller will be in the rumble 🤔
Then go challenge Bobby, because there's no way he's taking Seth 😂
Lol
#1 moment that stopped WCW matches in their tracks: Vince buying the company. Too literal??
Not really. Even kayfabe wise they ran a full Nitro the week after Vince announced the purchase on the Raw/Nitro simulcast.
Sid did get pinned after a masked Road Warrior Animal came down Stomped on him a few times and Scott got the pin🙄
Simon miller is WCW
S/Os to Mark Curtis
Was Randy Macho Man Savage's wardrobe really that awful when he wasn't on tv?
Oooooh yeah dig it 😎🤙
@@alphatoddio Randy wasn't shopping at the Gap for sure...LOL
@@friendme12345 LMFAO
Two words "Dave Arquette"
Malinco looks like Kurt angle
Which is worse sid or Penta????
You mean Fenix? I'd still say Sid. Fenix's was a dislocation whereas Sid's was a snapped bone.
@@PinguWithAnAxe at least fenix still had guts to say im ok and there wasn't anything wrong about how he would recuperate afterwards. Sid was literally done in everything; he had to use half-metre rod in his leg, using a cane, and needed a year to be on his prime shape again. It also ruined his career instantly because no big dogs would ever going to be interested in hiring him again
@@PinguWithAnAxe smh in my head i typed fenix......
Only 10?
