While Sid Eudy’s “Sid Justice”, “Sid Vicious” and “Sycho Sid” characters were truly unforgettable, some may forget how popular and “over” Sid was during late 1996 and early 1997 during his WWF title runs. When Sid was brought back as a stand-in for the recently released Ultimate Warrior, no one could’ve predicted how popular Sid would become… eventually leading to Sid ending the 1996 title reign of Shawn Michaels to much fanfare. While Sid didn’t necessarily perform as a wrestling good-guy, he still got incredible crowd reactions; a real sign of the times as the whole landscape of professional wrestling was going through changes.
Sid came back for the WWF’s 9th In Your House show, teaming up with Shawn Michaels and Ahmed Johnson to do battle with Camp Cornette. Within months, Sid became the number 1 contender for the WWF Championship, and Sid would defeat Michaels at the 1996 Survivor Series to become the new champion. Survivor Series took place inside Madison Square Garden, and the New York WWF audience was known for letting superstars know exactly what they think of them. Sid was cheered during the match while HBK was booed out of the building, something the WWF were not expecting.
Sid would go on to headline pay per views against the likes of Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker while still maintaining his popularity. In 1997, Sid would come and go from the WWF, and by the end of the year, one of the WWF’s most unexpected popular superstars was nowhere to be seen. This video looks at Sid’s title runs during 1996 and 1997; when Sycho Sid was the master and ruler of the world.

What I love about Sid was the interaction with the crowd when he came out, I wish more modern wrestlers would do the same during their entrance.
Fist Bump🤜🤛
WAAAAY before COVID 19
SID is the man!
they're actually told not to interact with the crowd too much and never look straight into the camera when they come out they got strange rules
Sid was feeding off that energy and you love to see the fans getting the wrestlers pumped up. "WHOS THE MAN!"
Sid is a true enigma to me. Almost every time he pops up WWF or WCW, he's put into a major spot, rather it's main eventing Wrestlemania or being World Champion. And he was always super over.
Believability. Sid's intensity, size and look is so naturally intimidating to the layman that top guy is his natural position on the card regardless of wrestling ability.
Sid had an amazing charisma to go with his look. Yeah, he wasn’t winning any work rate awards, but you could believe that the man was a killer in the ring. He kind of bridged the decades with the intimidating 1980s big man look, and the late 90’s intensity
Led the way for somebody like goldberg. Standing on shoulders of giants
@@johnepants exactly this, Sid was what made the Attitude era kickoff he is what the fans wanted. Also, he should've been the one w/ the streak over Goldberg.
He’s a beast
No matter how his career turned out in wwe, he knows that he is forever a legend. He was a multiple time world heavyweight champion. He knows that wrestling fans, his fans, will never forget who he was & what he did for the business. The original beast incarnate
Very Well put bro very well said you know what your talking about when it comes to Sid for sure
Sid's a beast. Whatever opinions people have about him, there's no denying that Sid made a huge impact.
He made a huge impact all right... On his leg
He made a huge impact because he has half the brain that you do!
Still can't picture him playing softball
Absolutely he was over everywhere he worked. Multiple time WWF and WCW World Champion. Can’t deny that at all.
@@Spiritfall616 dude I heard his swing was godlike and not a shabby first baseman either!
Loved Sid's theme. Such an intimidating force and I really liked this character. Very over with the fans in late 96.
That theme for Doink the clown was just a scary
yes. his theme music was so good, Sid was a great bigman
I always thought Sid was the perfect person to be cast as Marvel comic's Sabertooth.
He had the size, intensity, and blonde hair.
Idk even know of this comic book villain sabertooth, but i can see sid as sabertooth!!!
THIS!!!!
I thought the same thing back in the late 90s/early 2000s
always thought of him as Juggernaut
and now I can't unsee and unhear that image in my head.
"I was the only guy with any bit of anarchy left."
-- Sid Vicious
Which one, wrestler or bass player?
Where? In the UK ?
The American Sid is a Conservative. The UK punk rocker was a commie Anarchist Left winger heroin addict who would probably love Bozo Biden, LOL
@@bifftannen2062 First of all, commie anarchist? There’s no such thing. Second, he wasn’t either of those things to the best of my knowledge. I don’t think he was particularly political at all.
Sid is definitely one of a few people to look more intimidating as they age.
@JV Harbin That's funny😅😅😅
@JV Harbin got em!
@JV Harbin 😂😂😂
He reminds of the sandman villain who was in the death warrant film
well, considering he is basically 7ft, no wonder.
The man had a great natural look and leaned into it with awesome intensity. He deserves more recognition and I'm glad to see some of it coming his way from this channel.
"I don't know sh¡t, crybaby." Sid's greatest line ever
"We're live, pal." -Jim Ross
Both of you are seriously underestimating "YOU ARE ONLY HALF THE MAN THAT I AM! AND I HAVE, *HALF THE BRAIN,* THAT YOU DO!"
🤔All 3 of u are forgetting about the night off😁😃
" YoU DoNt gIvE mE ThE NiGhT OFF!!! You don't give me
NoThInG!!! You Stupid little puke!!!"
Nah the half the brain line is his best but he did run both wwf and wcw
Half a brain line is the best
One of the most intimidating wrestlers of all time.
He really looks great!
Exactly n he's also the only man I felt vince could have picked to play the undertaker role he would have played it just as well as mark Callaway.
Dude arguably has one of the best set of ring names and nicknames ever.
And had beyond question one of the most devastating looking injuries i’ve a ever seen.
Names perfect for being delivered shouting shaking and sweating.
@@Thor-Orion yeah shitty they told him he had to dona arial move in that match
Sid had a tremendous physique.
Yeah he did
I still tell ppl that my main body/liftin goal is
"Sid Vicious" shoulders!
Dude's shoulders were trying to eat his neck!
He made the ultimate warrior look tiny
The cool thing about Sid was that he wasn't all muscle bound. Sid was more lean tall muscle.
Sid was my favourite heel. “ The master and ruler of the world “
In the early 90s, not many could rival Sid and Vader as main event heels.
Big poppa pump hold my ... I agree with your comment back then, I still have much love for “the man”
Yeah Sid was more of a heel naturally ull definitely show up
Sid’s 96’ run was one of the only reasons wwe held on at that point
Sid was over like crazy
Sid theme was like something out of a1980,s horror movie he wasn't the best wrestler in the 🌎 but he was intimating
Actually it's a version of the music from the 1960 movie Psycho.
@@samclark379
Yes and it was actually Jim Cornette who told Vince McMahon that "that dudes a psycho" after what Sid did to Arn Anderson in 1993. Vince liked the angle and went with it, thus name Sycho Sid was born. Hence the entrance music being a version of the 1960 movie psycho, also Sid repeatedly stabbing Arn with a scissors in a hotel room is certainly relatable to the shower scene in Psycho.
@@theantilifeequation8150
Ummmm he was referred to Sycho Sid unofficially from Gorilla Monsoon in 92 before Cornette came in. It's on video for WM8
@@KoolKumasi
I think he said it in passing yes because that was his gimmick to be a little "nuts", the stabbing of Arn with the scissors in England didn't happen until a year after that. There's a difference between something said in passing to get someone over as "nuts" and a overall gimmick complete with graphics and music. He was Sid Justice at wreslemania 8 not Sycho Sid. Check out the video "jim cornette on Sid" on TH-cam from about 6 months ago it's only around 8 minutes long.
@@theantilifeequation8150
There you go family-friendly entertainment.
Vinnie Mac basically capitalized on Sid stabbing somebody.
Growing up, I always found Sid genuinely intimidating. He always seemed legitimately dangerous. I have seen shoot interviews with him more recently and he seems an absolute gent. Good work Sid!
I don't care what anyone says. Sid was the man during this run. His matches felt like real main events, especially his match against HBK at Survivor Series in MSG. Loved watching Sid when I was a kid. WWE could use a guy like him these days.
WWF S.Series 96 was the first PPV I watched from beginning to end as a kid. I vividly remember my Dad trying to explain why the fans were booing HBK even though he was the good guy. Sid could have murdered HBK's pet kitten and MSG still would have cheered SID. Happier times.
I was in the crowd that night I was 8 years old the pop for sid was austin or rock like.
Whats also interesting is that when he beat Bret Hart for the title in February 1997, he was cheered as well.
I always remember this and was happy when Shawn got beat the crowd loved SiD
Shawn's backstage politicking was probably at its worst during his WWF title reign. While at the time I was gutted Shawn lost the title to Sid, watching it now with better knowledge of what was going on behind the scenes makes it a satisfying end to his reign in my opinion. Even though I was 14 at the time, I still thought Sid was scary as hell.
Backstage politics weren't the only reason Vader lost that title opportunity. He was notoriously stiff in the ring and people hated working with him. By people I mean the entire locker room. Sure, it was Shawn Michaels complaining about him that did it in, but it was more a straw breaking the camels back type situation. Vader would not have made a very good champion.
Not nearly a bigger backstage crybaby as triple H and hulk hogan were
@@WolfWinter Not all of locker room complained about him where is this source and he wasn't going to be good champion is just assumption not fact. I always hate people rambl when it's just their opinion. Ever seen vader ajpw title run after wwe??
@@WolfWinter I agree to an extent. Vader's style wouldn't have worked in WWF at the time. At least in WCW, he had Sting, Dustin Rhodes, Flair, British Bulldog, Cactus Jack, men who could kind of reel Vader in and remind him he's not in Japan, he doesn't have to be as stiff. HBK, not being used to being served a plate of potatoes from Vader just went to Vince and it was done.
@@ThatRetroGeek86 If it wasn't HBK it would have been someone else. Especially since people were complaining about him before Summerslam, but not, (I suspect) to Vince. I think that was made the difference.
HBK, after all, was hardly alone in the 1996 WWF roster for being unused to the stiff Japanese style.
People hold Vader up as a victim of HBK's locker room scheming, and that completely ignores that WWF was a completely different environment from WCW and Japan, where, as you say, Vader's style meshed much better with the rest of the locker room.
Sid Vicious, one of the greatest big men in pro wrestling. If his 2001 leg injury hadn’t happened, it would have been interesting to see what side Sid would have chosen during the Invasion angle.
Imagine that
its a big what if for me too but idk if he would have went back honestly I could have seen him retiring even if healthy
also there is a 0.000000% chance Sid takes less money to go back to WWF than sit at home to collect more. If he came back it would have been in 2002
@@basketballinfinite9518 Sid has said he was thinking about how to wrap his career up before his leg injury. He said if he could wrestle at WrestleMania, he would have retired after. It would have been a better end to his career. But we go into, who would have faced Sid? Maybe a young Brock Lesnar?
Honestly one of the most gruesome injuries I’ve ever watched. Anytime a leg snaps like that, and on TV, damn….glad he’s doing good these days
@@Andrewlang90 Johnny Ace (Road Warrior Animal’s brother) is the one who forced Sid to jump off the ropes. It's unfortunate how he is the head of talent relations once again in WWE. Seven years it took Sid to completely recover from it although he returned in 2004.
As a kid Sycho Sid was kinda scary I remember one time he beat up a jobber and put him on a hospital stretcher & pushed him into the ring 😂😂
I liked him better on WCW when he was called Sid Vicious. Way better character!
That was before Wrestlemania 8.
I REMEMBER THAT! 😱
How much more different was sid from wcw than wwe? I thought they were pretty much the same gimmick
@@MiguelMartinez-el1le he was face in wcw despite look XD. people just like him
I was a HUGE Psycho Sid fan! Thank you for making this video.
A Sid Vicious video on Valentine's Day? Don't mind if I do!
I never really thought of Psycho Sid/Sid Vicious being an early example of heel being cheered by the fans before Austin up until now. Come to think of it, Sid even got cheered when he eliminated Hulk Hogan in Royal Rumble 1992. Now I’m starting to believe that Sid is an unsung tweener.
its because people looking back only remember sid for the 2 flubs he had 1. the lets do this interview again when it was live and the half the brain one, which on the spot, people make mistakes, he is far from the only one, but that is all they seem to care about.
It happened in cartoon era too. Jake one time was cheered after ddting hogan, Sid in RR.
Scott Hall when he was Razor Ramon in 1993, Randy Savage back in late 1987 and Jake Roberts in 1986 are others that instantly come to mind as well as Sid all before Austin.
@@My19812011 it's the product
Diesel was still getting cheered after attacking Bret after their 1995 Survivor Series match until he feuded with Taker and turning on Shawn at a MSG house show.
I always thought Sid’s hair looked like ramen noodles
SID was over no matter where he went
"RULER OF THE WORLD!" 🌎 🤲
He's one of my personal favorites.
Sid was badass straight up he was the only white man that I knew who walked around with blonde Jerry curls.
Lol
lol
Its Jheri Curl
@@MrKevinEaddy yeah yeah you know I mean dude.
@@cobraalaniz149 get it right you uncultured swine😂🤣.. Thats a joke
What a run. Wrestlers back then had so much character and appeal compared today.
Sid was the only wrestler that ever legitimately SCARED me when I was a kid.
Kane scared you too
Well, he was the master and the ruler of the world. OF THE WORLD!!!
For some reason yokozuna scared the hell out of me
He was a super intense guy. That energy really came through with every word he said, and movement he made.
I would be scared he would throw that wet hair juice on me when he turned his head.
Ikr he looked like serial killer back then
It's nice he managed to help the WWF inbetween softball games.
He would have made the perfect actor to play Sabretooth from the X-Men comic books.
Every one fears jason voorhees, but jason voorhees fears sycho sid haha
Sid always looked like a mega star
Sid had such a marketable look if he knew how to politic for card position he would of been bigger then Hogan.
Sids physique is so impressive. One of the best in the game
Always popped for Sid. How can you boo the master and ruler of the world?
He even beat The Shockmaster!
There was just something about Sid he scared the hell out of me as a kid even today at 41 he still gives me chills.
Especially on WCW
The 90s and early 00 were the golden age of wrestling. Soo much talent.
Man sids powerbomb has to be one of my favorites, hes underrated but definitely one of my fav big guys
I love Sid's line to Bret Hart on Raw when Hart said" That belt is mine and you know it!" Sid said I don't know sh*t crybaby...classic stuff.
Sid's powerbombs always looked absolutely brutal.
They were
I was always a Sid mark no matter what company he was in. He was, like Kevin Nash put it, pure money. When he destroyed Brian Pillman in the cage it solidified that Sid as a heel worked perfectly.
With all the drama and insanity of the attitude era its a shame Sid didn't get to partake, I feel like he would fit in well. Especially when the corporation became a thing
If he didn't left in July 1997 he could have dominated Austin
@@lexkanyima2195 and didn't go to wcw which lead up to that horrific leg injury.
@@gameplaysolotheblade that injury could've happened ANYWHERE he wrestled.😂 Don't be THAT DumbAss Fanboy guy after ALL these years.
@@rayzaramon6598 Not really. WCW management said he has a boring set, so they told him to fly, and that was the result. And no, it was a mere discussion of "what if" going on here, NOT fanboyism. Nice observation dumbass.
@@rayzaramon6598 nah hes right wcw management told him to do the move that caused the injury
The Sycho Sid run was my favorite of his. Loved that theme he used.
Sid had a hell of a career in the 90s both in WWF and WCW multiple times.
Imagine Sid instead of Nash being part of the Outsiders. The cool Scott Hall with the short fuse Sid. Way better than the “look at me being cool” lazy Nash
Nahhh..nash was a legit cool dude, wouldnt have worked without him.
@@haroldhall1517 yeah I think so too...
Sid Vicious was apart of the 4 horsemen at one point I think
Yeah Sid is way better than Nash. Nash was boring
As Corny said about Nash. That he only had six moves including the hair flip.
I haven’t forgotten this at all. I completely agree with you! I remember how over Sid was at the time. They had him on the cover of the WWF magazine and called it The Year of Sid. Now they act like it never happened. It’s a damn shame.
Complete side note, the fact the 1st ppv title defence was called "it's time" just lends more support to the fact it was supposed to be vader. Not hating cos I love sid, just something I noticed
Vader was this close to being the top monster in wwf...background politics Shawn Michaels didn’t like how dangerous Vader was in the ring..so he kept that top spot from him
@@mikemadsen7926 Not so much dangerous, as stiff. He wrestled in the shoot, japanese style, real punches and kicks. A lot of guys felt the same about him.
Did some security guard work at some indy shows that Sid was on later in his career. He was awe-inspiring. Physically just so huge, and when he turned on the "crazy eyes" look, genuinely frightening. And the crowd still went wild for him when he started powerbombing people. He was nice to me in our brief interactions. The wrestlers who bumped for him said he took great care of them, and the younger guys said he actually took time to teach them things about the business.
I was a big Sid fan during this time
Sid always had that "it" factor. Purely magnetic.
Kevin nash did say that Sid was money!
Hence why he always got the push to the title scene.
Sid Vicious The Ruler of the World
Sid is twice the man you are and only half the brain Sid even at his dopey moments he still was ruler of the world
MASTER and ruler of the world.
SID... Suddenly I'm Dominant
Sid was one of the best for a while there. If it wasn't for that seriously broken leg he could have stayed one of the best.👍
I was a sid fan back then, sid was past his lrime when he returned to wcw in 99, much less before he broke his leg. Sid was wwf 96
Meaning he wasnt the best then and would only euin his career had he not had that bkessing in disguise happen when he broke his leg.
“I have 1/2 the brains that you do” Sid V. 😂
Thank you for not including a footage of Sid breaking his leg when mentioning his return to WCW.
Hard to watch . Brutal
@The Monster Under Your Bed this video is his WWF run between 1996 and 1997 so why would it be included in this video ?
I was a young kid and watched that life. Was sad to see
no idea why he landed on his leg instead of ass (etleast) . lesson learned very hard way
@@LordDeBahs he is a big man, why would he take a bump on a$s🤣
That 96 Survivor Series entrance by Sid is still one of my favorites I have ever seen.
Every kid in the room cried when Shawn Lost, every adult laughed and cheered..
I love how Sid didn't really care about wrestling but he still kept getting pushed to the moon because of his look. Must of been maddening to see for guys like Guerrero and Jericho.
Yea his passion was softball go figure!
He might not have been that passionate about it but he was a businessman. So I'm sure he was respected
@@HiNRGboy sid himself said he never really had a love for wrestling like a lot of other guys. He got into it as a way to make more money for his family, and he put in the work he needed to for that, but it mostly seemed to be another job for him. Compared to the other main eventers he feuded with and a lot of other guys who were struggling to break out during his career, he wasn't nearly as obsessed with it. Check out the video on the start of his career, it talks a bit about it.
@Luke Campbell . It's not all about skill and Talent though. This is professional wrestling, not amateur wrestling, image plays a massive part.
Also, his LOVE of professional wrestling has no real merit when it comes to him being a qualified and capable of performing his role.
Sycho Sid/Sid Justice/Sid Vicious was amazing!. Maybe one of the most underrated wrestling superstars ever. Why he's not in the WWE Hall of Fame right now is baffling.
Sid had one of the greatest intro themes of all time. Legitimately creeped me out when I was a kid.
Sid was one of my favorites growing up. A legit heel and someone who had a lot more left in the tank if injuries didn’t derail his career
Not forgotten. Sycho Sid was awesome, and I remember his run very vividly, because that was probably the time I was most invested in wrestling.
A very underrated heel.
SIDS the man - saw him wrestle like 3-4 years ago in Ottawa he put on a great show
I been to a few wwf shows at the good old Corel Center
I thought his ankle broke in the ring years ago. And you're saying 3/4 years ago
@@dredenny6654 I think his ankle broke in the 90s. The show I went to was around 2017 and it was a smaller show not wwe
@@7thson555
I'm with ya now. Dam Sid still about in 17 🎯
I dont know what it was about Sid, but I absolutely loved him.
The pop he got when eliminating Hogan showed his breakout chance to become the man, it would have been the perfect time to utilize this opportunity to change sid is career in making his career the most successful and one he could have looked upon today.
But it doesn't make sense to make a swerve at The Royal Rumble in 1992
Again, revisionist history! Sid was cheered by a small row of fans near ringside but Hulk was still cheered by the majority. That did not make him the next Hulk Hogan. If Sid was more popular than Hulk Vince would've made him the face of his company which simply didn't happen.
Sid was in prime position at the Royal rumble 92 when he Eliminated hogan and the crowd were clearly behind him
Then Hogan had to be hogan and help flair eliminate him and somehow sid was the heel in their match at mania 8
I was pulling for Sid that night.
Mal Ant . Well he was a BabyFace then.
Revisionist history! True, a small row of fans cheered for Sid near ringside but the majority cheered Hulk.
@@kevinpayton2664 You were in the minority.
I met Sid in Texas in the early 90's. He picked me up
God I loved Sid's theme!! It's so intense and intimidating!! Fit him perfectly! I'm using it as my ringtone. Lmiao. 💜
I dunno if there has ever been a more exciting, invigorating time to be a wrestling fan than 96-97. We knew we were riding a wave of change in wrestling and nothing has ever been that good since.
After Vince bought WCW, I stopped watching. 96-97 was an amazing time to be a fan. ECW and WCW were light years ahead of WWF.
It was wild. My buddy and I would watch raw and then the next night watch wcw which he recorded on his VCR haha. It's all everyone talked about at school. Then stone cold and the rock came along and it got even bigger. I remember even some of the girls in school were watching it then. I don't see it ever being that popular again.
Big sid. Great presence. Ideal looking wrestler. Big, strong and nuts
He definitely wasn’t the ruler of promos!
🤣
You’re half the man that he is, and he has half the brain that you do!
Yeah that belongs to Rocky Maivia before he was The Rock
Give him a break he only has half the brain that we do
he actually had good promos due to his charisma, 2 flubbed promos over the whole span of his career should not be all you remember
I always preferred the name sycho sid to sid vicious/justice
I second that! Sycho just fit his look, demeanor, aura, personality.
Even though it's spelt weirdly I agree I agree it's way better than Sid Vicious 'cos it's a bit lame just using a rockstar's name without changing anything.
Loved his look and theme song
Loved it even more when he was cheered over Hogan at the Royal Rumble!! Dude was jacked
But he should have been of the WWF champion in 92
@@lexkanyima2195 absolutely agree I remember when he was around that year he shoulda had a long run as champ! The first bumps to the fans and asking "Who's the man" was epic!! Nobody else was really having that type of interaction with fans.. sure hbk walked and danced high fiving fans, bret gave out his shades but Sid took the time to acknowledge and fist bump the peeps
Why he wasn't cast as Sabretooth in any of the X-Men flicks is beyond me.
Would have been epic
No joke you really need to put in an application for an editor lol. Your work truly is top notch. I feel like I’m watching a major documentary release with every video. I don’t always agree but you go out of your way to make every video look as professional and clean as possible. You don’t take short cuts and do your due diligence with your research. I’ve learned so much through these videos. Especially about topics I’ve known about for years.
Huge ‘Mark’ for Psycho Sid and Loved his work in WWF/E ... 🔥
Sid was definitely one of the most imposing looking guys ever, 2nd to Warlord I’d say, the guy just looked massively powerful.
I gotta admit, I was one of the fans that was cheering for Sid.
Great look, and his MSG match w HBK was a lot of fun.
you need to release your remixes, you obviously produce music. its produced very very well.
Sid was a monster, I mean just look at him ffs!!
Absolutely. The guy was a TANK.
We still love Sid. We'll always love Sid.
Please do more 95-97 videos, this is my favorite era.
I am usually not a fan of big men with limited ring skills, but there is something about Sid that I love. Honestly I wish WWF let Sid have a longer reign as the champion.
Just imagine if he didn’t love softball more than wrestling.
Could of given him the mid 90’s baseball gimmick or Dale Torborgs MVP.
I played basketball with a guy 2009 - 2012.... He was very good at it but he could care less,his heart was in baseball..... Every1 wanted his basketball talent except him😂😂😂
@@rayb.1180 I think we all know people like this. Usually they screw it up with poor behavior.
57 second's in was hilarious to see Sid come out of that car. And, I always cheered for Sid. I remember visiting family in New York in mid 1996 we were in a Taxi and passed by Madison square garden and I seen the survivor series advertisement outside of venue. I also went to a Yankee game in July of 1993 that was a great game. I seen Mike Stanley the catcher hit a Grand slam. My grandmother taped the game I was seated right next to the Detroit Tigers dugout. Jim Abbott pitched for the Yankees and it was a close out.
I loved Sid's runs. They were a breath of fresh air.
Sid was awesome. Loved the way he'd come down to his music looking deranged and giving it the who's the man.
I do wonder if he inspired the design of Brock Samson. I've always liked Sid, his look, his demeanour, his attitude and whilst his promos can be a hit and miss he does have this intensity which I hardly see in todays wrestling.
Yes. Its obvious
Trust me i never was scared of Undertaker or Kane but Psycho Sid was freaking scary and I'd always love to see this guy wrestle one of the best actors in wrestling history
1996 and 1997 SID was at his best ever !!!
Great Video ;-)
I've always loved Sid. Thank You for the videos
You know who would have had a great run against Sid?
Glacier.
Well, it IS Glacier month...
@BxxDxx Hoodoo You may have missed the point.
"Damn my promos were way better than sid,why was I never champion?" Sean Waltman
Lol does he really say this?
Sid had great promos, great intensity, sid lacked great fueds or matches.

This channel has been pumping out some awesome content the past 6 months. Really has helped during the lockdowns. Keep it up man.
Sid was a great "tweener", he even got a fantastic reception from the WM 8 crowd despite being the heel vs Hogan four years earlier in 1992. WWF just didn't want to listen to the fans reactions and that has always been an issue for them. That period with Hart, Austin, Sid and Undertaker screwing each other over for the title was brilliant. It was unpredictable yet believable, made all four seem equally matched and competitive so you never knew who was going to come out on top. It laid the foundations for the attitude era to come. The added bonus was that the drama centered around and added value to the pursuit of the title itself rather than somebody's wife having an affair, a wrestler's monster truck being destroyed or any McMahon family drama. Great video btw as Sid deserves far more credit than he gets.
