He was over in MSG and got Shawn booed out of the building. That counts for something
Yeah shut up, Jim!
I get why (Jim explains it with the Skyscrapers here), but still never really understood why he got such big pops and support at times. Clumsy, moving awkwardly, bad cliché promos...
@@smarkslowplay3512 Because he was fucking cool?
MSG was a mixture of Sid being over AND salty Bret Hart fans getting behind Sid for one night.
HBK as a good guy just didn't work back then. Worked better when he came back as a older guy.
I give Sid a ton of credit for continuing to sell the promo on the Shockmaster after that fall without even cracking a smile.
💯😂
I dont care who you are boy
@@standardofexcellence *Shock master voice*
You want a piece of me,Sid?
@@standardofexcellence i dont give a damn who you are…your gonna have US your gonna have van vader
Yeah, I don't know how Sid did that!
Sid deserves the HOF based solely on his ability to kick out of Hogan's immortal leg drop at WM8.
💯💪🏽
Nice ! 😆
@ShadowAngel I know why. I think you missed my humor.
Still the lamest/weakest/most uncreative finish in all of wrestling entertainment. Ppl were so soft in the 80’s
@hentai ken why is he a troll for promoting his channel? Get a life
“He stabbed arn Anderson” holy shit why did that make me cry laughing. Just the way he said that 😆
There is something magical about Jim's delivery. Brian has moments, but Jim can make the most random throw away comment or line into the funniest shit ever. I still randomly bust out laughing from the episode where Jim was quoting a warning from Dusty, "Do not do shit you do not know how to do. DO-NOT-DO-SHIT ... YOU-DO-NOT-KNOW ... HOW-TO-DO!" Just the delivery, with Dusty's accent+lisp, it still haunts me and triggers random laughter, especially when I see people doing shit, they do not know how to do.

Brandon beat me to it, don't forget Squirrel!
Over like fuck everywhere he went, WWF, WCW and ECW. Main events WM against the two biggest names in WM lore in Hogan and Undertaker, and won two World titles in the main company off the two best generational in ring workers in Bret and HBK. That resume alone puts him above a lot of people. Regardless of how good or wasn't. Plus so intense.
intensity can go further than anything else in wrestling.
If you compare him to the Ultimate Warrior, Warrior is getting way more recognition by WWE and fans. And i'd say their talent was similar. I suppose it doesn't help that Sid was never in a company when they were redhot. During the Hulkamania era and JCP era he was just getting started in the business and not in any of the big two. Once he made it to the big leagues both had cooled off. Then when WCW got hot in 1996 he was in WWF and once WWF got hot, late 97 early 98 he had already left. And when he returned to WCW in 1999 that promotion had cooled off again.
@@TheSteffovic Facts!!
@@TheSteffovicLMMFAO what??? Sid headlined WrestleMania 8, against Hulk Hogan. Over 62 thousand people, breaking records at the Hoosier Dome.
Macho Man against Rick Flair
Bret Hart beats Rowdy Piper for IC belt
Undertaker and Giant Gonzalez
Shawn Michaels
WWF was MASSIVE here
@@theimmortalcadaver6300 WWF was cooling down at this time. That Wrestlemania was heavily papered.
Don't forget how he verbally put The Shockmaster in his place.
The Millennium Man Sid Vicious was the enhancement talents’ worst nightmare.
That damn lariat !
Him breaking his leg is still burned into my retinas...
It doesn’t help either that there is footage of it on here in like SUPER slow motion….
Same here I completely cringed when he broke his leg.
lives i my head rent free.
He looked like a deer on ice on that rope.
When I saw that happen my brain couldn’t register that it was real. I thought it was an angle.
Sid was way over and he was chokeslamming/powerbombing fools before anyone. Basically created the big man moveset. Sid a legend
@James S James.
@James S you're here too dummy 🤣
Zeus The Young = Sid vicious’ burner acct
Same as I mentioned before,
Sid was so Over, didn't matter if he was. Vicious or Justice or Sycho !!!
I'm glad as a kid I didnt know about work rate or backstage B.S.. Etc
. Etc
Haha that’s facts
When I was a kid he was legit af and always over with me. I didn’t know any better lol it was much more enjoyable that way
Same
1,000 %
Sid deserves a spot in the Hall Of Fame
Good one 😂
Sid was great I don’t care what Jim says
Wasn't great in the ring but he was great at everything else.
With he had half the brain
Seriously his legacy is a botched promo and a broken leg
"He doubled hand pushed me and I thought I was going back forever" lmao
Sid is the prototype of what a professional wrestler should look like. My favourite heel of all time.
He was also the master and ruler of the world who has half the brain that you do.
That's cause he's twice the man, so he only needs one brain
Yes just dont let him on the mic lol but he is what a wrestler should look like
Whether he was in WWF, WCW or a brief stint in ECW, Sid always got a huge pop from the crowd.
But you know and Sid knows, that you're only, half the man that he is! and he has, half the brain that you do!
"AH SHIT! Can I do it again!?""
@@octoman_games "We're live pal"
I can still see Scott Hall laughing his ass off.
One of the best moments Eva!!! If it was anyone but Sid, I would say that was scripted that way...but nope, he is just an idiot.
@@tyronebiggums3892 Sid was involved in many of the greatest segments in wrestling history, this one, the Shockmaster debut, his Wrestlemania main event against Taker where he shat his pants, WCW Sin 2001 main event, where he expanded his repertoire, just like Johnny Ace requested.
Sid's fault Arn brought scissors to a fight and got them taken away from him and almost got murdered.
Right
Jim is the biggest mark for anyone related to Mid South/Jim Crockett promotions. None of them can do anything wrong according to Corn man.
Two years later on this comment, but damn straight. Jim is friendly with Arn....I get it. But Sid wasn't even the reason the fight started. The guys were talking about why business was in the shitter and Sid gave his opinion on Flair....agree with it or not. Arn then decided he had to defend Flair's honor and fight his battles with him not being there and almost got killed for his troubles.
I understand the disdain from a backstage perspective, but Sid's mid/late 90's WWF run was good stuff.
"We're live pal" is Sid's real legacy
@ekmad So true…..and that’s the sad part.
At least it isn’t the broken leg …
"And I have half the brain that you do"
@@PunkRJH90 fucking gold moment 😂😂
@@PunkRJH90
"GOLDBERG!!!! WHYYY MEEEEE!!!!"
Kevin Nash mimicking Sid Vicious with that mask on probably was the best thing on WCW at that time!
He was hilarious dressed as Arn too 😂
Both promos were hilarious
Nash killed it when he was mocking Sid. 😂😂
That Psycho theme song with those violins spelled FEAR for many opposite to Sid
Honestly thought that theme was garbage for Sid, his "Justice" theme during his first run with the WWF was better and made Sid seem even more impsoing than he was.
@@ValiantWrestling meh...his justice theme sounded like one of those bosses you fight before going into the building of the last boss.. psycho had more personality
Imagine Sid being the crazy softball dad...
There used to be fights at my games as a kid. One time bleachers cleared and parents fought. Hopefully sid would've been on our side lol
@@paleocat6354 when I use to play my coach would send all the shitty kids to play the outfield corners. When they dropped the ball I would try to find their dads on the stands to look at their priceless faces lmao
Funny you say that because when I really want to witness a spectacle. When I really want to treat myself to some good ole sports combat live event, I just buy a ticket to a local PeeWee baseball league and I make sure I get the most nose bleeder seats because the real spectacle are the fights that take place between the parents.
He could have had a great feud with Randy Marsh.
Sid was over in WWF. He used to get big pops in the House shows and big events. Some of these are on youtube, so you can see for yourself.
Tony Schvoni: It's SIDDDDDDDDDD!
He wasn’t that great of a technical wrestler but I’d say he’s worthy of being in the hall of fame considering his accomplishments and the feeling he gave children when watching
He wasn't great in the ring but he was great at everything else. Great look, great promo, great charisma.
@@jeffreyriley8742 agreed but id say decent promo very repetitive
But in his shoot interviews he says he learned to chain wrestle on the fly when Pat Patterson put him in a waist lock in a hotel lobby!
Sid had a fantastic presence. Way over with the crowds.
Main evented two WrestleMania's in two different eras.
One of my favorite moments was him beating HBKs ass in the Garden.
Hopefully gets the nod one day.
First time I sent a question in. . And it got answered!! Thanks Jim and Brian. Second pronunciation was correct. It's Keshwyn.
Sid was in the greatest rumble ever.
Sid was in the same promo with the intro to the ringmaster.
Sid was in the WM main event where Hulk left and Warrior came back.
Sid tried to restart his promo on live TV.
Sid was around when Shawn had his best run.
Sid had one of the worst injuries on live TV.
He was there at all the right times and memorable, but was he really responsible for greatness?
And Stabbed the racist Arn Anderson
All Sid wants to be responsible for is the success of his softball team
@@adrianocollinzo5712 I seen reports that He actually defended himself and Arn Anderson kept coming at him all Sid wanted to do was leave. Heavy say is that Arn heard Sid talking shit on Ric Flair so Arn wanted to kick his ass.
@@sc30002001 Sid absolutely defended himself and Cornette can’t stand the fact that one of his beloved horsemen nearly got killed by one of Michaels buddies.
And Sid have half brain that you have
Sid Justice trashing the Barber Shop is a underrated segment
the memory of him trashing the set with a chair and going on a crazy tirade with his face covered in shaving creme will forever be etched in my memory LMAO
convenient that Jim glosses over the fact that Arn brought the scissors into the fight, and stabbed Sid first. Sid managed to take them, and then he stabbed the shit out of Arn. dont bring sharp objects into a fight and then cry if they are taken, and then used on you. Arns lucky that Too Cold Scorpio was there to inform Sid, "Hey your killing dude."
Also his supposed friends, Ric Flair and Ricky Steamboat, didn't come to help Arn.
Also his supposed friends, Ric Flair and Ricky Steamboat, didn't come to help Arn.
@@JayCity10 yup, well they only play hero/tough guy on television.
Sid was so f**king over. Always had a big love for him!!
Andre couldn't cut a promo.
Andre's work for most of his career was shit.
Andre was only over because of his look.
Different rules for guys Jim's a fan of compared to people Jim has personal experience with.
That's with everyone
Whoa whoa , lets relax a bit here.
Andre was literally a giant. Not like “omg he is huge” i mean like
“Holy shit thats a giant”.
Thats why he is regarded how he is. While a ton of “big” guys are lost in the shuffle.
He was literally too big to get lost in the shuffle, unlike sid and many others.
Arn brought the scissors to the fight, so basically Arn stabbed Arn.
Sid Vicious didn’t stab Arn Anderson, I truly believe Arn Anderson stabbed Arn Anderson.
@@eddieroche8176 There is a time honoured tradition....
@@eddieroche8176 and he can look in the mirror every morning and know that
"His wife told me. Sid would be more happy if he could go and sell farm chemicals again. I said. We would be to" - Jim Cornette
"I'm having a heart attack, take me to the hotel" brings new meaning to the phrase "serious as a heart attack"
It was Arn that brought the scissors to the fight and stabbed Sid first! Jim always has a bias for workers that didn't love the wrestling business and didn't live and breathe it.
That and the stab wound Arn gave him almost killed Sid if it wasn't for Vader putting his thumb into the wound to help stop the bleeding. The only reason Arn didn't go to jail was cause Sid didn't press charges when he found out how hurt Arn was from a nurse.
Sid broke a chair, grab the leg and went to Arn’s room looking for a fight after an argument with the latter that he couldn’t win. He felt stupid and had to “fix” his image through violence. Both at fault.
@@brent6148 It was a bit more than an argument.....Arn threw a bottle/glass at Sid's head. Lol.
Sid on the mic telling the people "I have half the brain he does" 😂😂
I loved Sid. Great look, great body, adequate in ring work. He should definitely be in the HOF.
Sid had great charisma and was really over during both runs in wwe
Last time I was this early, Sid no-showed.
Cornette said subtle and Sid Vicious in the same sentence 😄😁😆😅🤣😂
Everything Jim just said is exactly why Sid IS one of the all time greats and unfulfilled potential. If he cared about the business just a little bit more, lord knows how big he could have been.
Jim is so unbelievably bias at times. Arn Anderson instigated the fight from start to finish. He assaulted Sid first and he initiated the subsequent stabbing match by getting scissors involved.
Sid went to his room looking for a fight instead of staying in his stupid room after been owned by Arn on a discussion. Not to mention that Sid was carrying a weapon himself as well.
How do you know this? You don’t do you..
I loved Sid when I was growing up. And he definitely should be in the Hall Of Fame.
last time I was this early Sid's leg hadn't snapped yet
To this day, Sid gets me hype.
I LOVE SID.
Dude is amazing. Not a ring technician but amazing nonetheless.
#threecountcommentaries
That must be the physical charisma
I get it
Sid is a God, loved his work.
Sid Justice was my favorite in Steel Cage Challenge.
Vicious was one of the most memorable characters in wrestling history. He was over for a reason. Who cares if he wasn’t a technical wrestling genius.
Cornette always gets the detail of the Anderson-Vicious fight wrong. I seriously don’t know why he comments on it. He wasn’t even there lol. Anderson wasn’t blameless.
There are 2 or 3 versions of that by the people involved on TH-cam. Corny needs to listen to them.
OMG Sid vs. Great Khali in an Iron Man 60 minute match. That is $$$$$
It would be 57 minutes of the two of them blown up and flat on their backs. Endless double count outs.
That would probably be the worst match in history that didn't involve Happy Humphrey or Haystacks Calhoun.
Arn started that fight. Even Ric Flair said this.
If the Ultimate Warrior can get in after all the bullshit he pulled in his life on Vince why can't Sid is all I have to say
Sid is twice the man we are, and has half the brain we do.
Spot on! When I was little kid, I was in awe of Sid. First time I ever saw the powerbomb.
Sid was one of my favorite big guys. I was so happy when he came to WWF in 91 but he didn't stay very long. Was happy when he finally won the title at survivor series. Thought it was well deserved. Always liked his intense promos. Ring work wasn't the best ever but was still decent.
Far more people and fans know Sid rather than a Robert Gibson or Ricky Morton.
For that fact alone he should be in the sham WWF HOF.
He probably banged Stephanie too I would assume.
Either that or Vince's boy toy has some sort of issue with him from back in the bodyguard days.
You know how there’s a version of “Sexy Boy” with Vince singing it? I wonder if there’s a lost backing vocal after “I’m not your boy toy…” which goes “yeah that’s right mine, not your’s!”
Or maybe. Get this. Maybe, he just wasn’t “all that”
And maybe, just maybe hbk could literally headline wrestlemania vs a broom, and get a 10 star match 🤷♂️
“No no, vince gay. Hbk, gay. Me know. Yes.”
Cornette came up with the psycho name in 1996? Even thought gorilla monsoon called him psycho sid as far back as 1992....
@@chicken31947 then what about the 1995 run when he was called psycho the whole time
Monsoon called him that at WrestleMania VIII. I also loved the interview Sid did with Mean Gene when he told him "Shut up you fat, bald-headed, little oaf".
Loved Sid in 91 and 92 WWF!
Sid absolutely belongs in the hall of fame
Always love Sid for forgetting his lines and wanting to do it again until JR told him "We're live pal."
Arn Anderson stabbed Sid in the stomach, if I'm not mistaken. Then, Vader stopped the bleeding with his thumb. As told by Vader in a shoot interview
I hope I'm not the only one who added up the numbers to see if they did indeed add up to 54..
I had to also
Same
I can see though why the fans would see him as an all-time great even with all those shortcomings - he was pushed as one. He was never an opening match guy, he was always near the top of the card and stayed there even when he bounced back and forth between WWF and WCW. And the fans connected with him for whatever reason so he may not have been great in the ring but I can see why fans would say he is an all-time great.
He felt like he was having a heart attack and he asked you to take him to the holiday inn 😂
Sid was the sh*ts in terms of work, but the man was over everywhere he went.....ALWAYS.
He's in my hall of fame and it's more difficult to get in than the WWE hall of fame
watching old vids of sid wrestling and i cant stop thinking his hair looks like half cooked Ramen
Hahahaha #accurate
Rick rude & Kurt Henning had the same problem 😂
Dude’s ramen was left in the microwave too long. Curt’s was undercooked. Sid’s was just right.
Sid deserves a HOF spot just for having the sickest compound fracture in the history of the business.
Let's not forget the squeegie incident. The guy was/is unintentionally hilarious.
All-time great? No. But he’s more deserving of a spot in WWE HOF than half those guys.
After putting in the dipshit Bella Twins, WWE's HOF is a friggin' joke.
His leg breaking was some nasty 💩.
Sid rules. I don't care about his backstage shit. His powerbombs and chokeslams are legend.
Didn't Arn stab Sid in a drunken rage?
That story about Sid going back to the hotel when he claimed he was having a heart attack cracks me up every time Jim tells it.
And yet when Dennis Condrey repeatedly did similar things Cornette laughs it off.
I'm pretty sure it was Arn that stabbed Sid.
Workrate lacking, dedication lacking but still should be in the WWE HOF as a former champ and big draw. Sid & Ivan Koloff are the two ex-Champions who are most egregiously missing from the WWE HOF.
i always liked sid. super nice guy. decent ball player.
I'm having a heart attack take me to a hotel 😂
Say what you will about Sid. But he sold the fucking life out of the Shockmaster's debut.
Living in the Mdisouth area I've heard stories of my father in law playing softball against Jerry Lawler and my assistant plant manager playing against Sid, I wonder if they were all in the same softball league or not.
Wow never realized he was only in the WWF for a total of 3 years
My dad met Sid outside of a restaurant back in the day and got put in a headlock by Sid. Cracks me up to this day.
I’m pretty sure Gorilla Monsoon was saying Pyscho Sid at WrestleMania 8.
Jim claims he came up with the name "psycho" but he's lying. It can't be true because the announcers were teasing the name and even called him a psycho on TV and on PPV long before Cornette even got there. It was before Sid left the first time.
i like sid even though he was pretty one dimensional as a character, he plays the typical big vicious heel who yells and acts all crazy, the character had no real substance or depth when you think about it, and of course he would always say "sid vicious rules the world!!!!".
he didn't need anything else as a character. his intensity carried him as a heel. sometimes, that's all you need.
Sid is great, not only in the ring but his shoot interviews are really good
So Sid was the original Bill Goldberg.
But sid is better and could go alot longer
AND FUCK YEAHHH METALLICAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!🤘🤘💀💀
Sid one of my fav all time wrestlers. I think I first saw the power bomb performed by him or atleast I wasn’t aware of the power bomb til that point.
at least the WWF didn't call him Psycho Psid
I member Sid come out the entrance so hyped up seems crazy thinking back on it
Love how him says it how it is. Flat out says Sid didn’t wanna take his shirt off 😂
I think I'm having a heart attack take me to the Holiday Inn LMAO
Sid belongs in the HOF.
Nuff said.
Sid knew how to stay in an territory as long as he was on top and then leave so he was always an attraction and over wherever he was. He would have been exposed for his limited in ring ability if he didn't go away.
He had the look that even got ECW fans to pop for even with the fact that Sid's style of work was what they hated.
For those wondering, the scoreboard adds up correctly. Jim's going to need one hell of a bottom of the 9th inning to pull this one out.
Sid has talked pretty openly about the alleged sexual abuse/ harassment that took place at the WWF. That alone is going to keep him out.
lmfao, the beginning. too funny.
that match where the crowd turned on HBK and Sid was high-fiving everyone as a mega heel - all-time shit.
awesome powerbomb, too.
