Sid The Hannibal TV Part 2 shoot interview posted in full here: th-cam.com/video/L9xnm05QJ5Y/w-d-xo.html The Hannibal TV Full Shoot Interview Playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLvoIHF4T3-L706lEMhXDDveFu63O223xo.html
The stabbing incident between him and arn sounded crazy and I could imagine being there while seeing this and Leon vader's interview on it , I stuck my thumb in sids stab wound and held it there what a legend
Ian Totten Especially in ECW. I still remember Judge Jeff Jone's classic Line at Hardcore Heaven 99, "You're not getting the chair, you're getting executed by the MAN!" Then Sid came out to a huge pop. And then kicked Justin Credible's ass. It was very fun to watch. Even Jeff Jones himself got beat lol Sid is not as bad as everybody clams. He's like Goldberg, just don't put him on a mic then it'll be fine. Tho personally I prefer Sid over Goldberg, mainly because he had alot of matches longer then 5 mins
Many years ago I knew a woman (sister of my dad’s girlfriend at the time) who drove the limo for a lot of the WWF wrestlers when came to the area (mostly for Brett hart). She had a disabled son (deaf and movement issues, good kid) who was a big wrestling fan. She told me a story how she got to go backstage at a WWF event in Allentown, PA with her son. Sid saw the kid and basically made sure the kid met all the wrestlers. Sid even carried him around to make sure he got everyone’s autograph. Not one wrestler turned him down. She said it seemed like Sid was more excited then her son. When it came to children, especially disabled kids, Sid was as nice and as accommodating as anyone. I’ll always remember that story (and I saw all the pictures with the kid and the wrestlers, heel and baby face). The only one he didn’t get a picture with was the undertaker. But the kid was standing there in the hallway and saw the undertaker walking out for a match. The Undertaker was well known for staying in full character when he was in the arena, but when Taker saw the kid, he nodded to him, which coming from the undertaker was a huge sign of respect and a big deal. It really raised my opinion of Sid. Sid was and is a great guy, especially when it came to his younger fans. That incident made me a fan of Sid.
Sid was one of the few wrestlers that convinced me as a kid watching him that he was really that psycho. It's strange to now see how cool, calm, and collected he is IRL. Respect.
@@borobinson7005 same here man! I first started liking him when he was the big guy in the Horsemen then when he went to WWF and feuded with Hogan. Dude was a badass.
I was 16 when I worked at our local grocery store in Marion, and Sid always pulled up in his bronco and would walk in like he would to the ring, looking scary as shit. I’d always bag his groceries and talk to him. Most humble guy you could ever meet.
@@keithcalvosa5894 well, he can STILL do it, provided it's on the right place, at the right time? Unlike the WCW tag team match (which pitted him and Hulk Hogan against nWo Jeff Jarrett and Scott Steiner) whereby he suddenly choke slammed his supposed tag team partner even before the match concluded, forced the referee for the 3 count and later menacingly shouting "WRONG place, WRONG time" to the laid out Hogan! STILL wondering what was going on at that fateful day?
When you stab a guy that big and crazy you better get the job done on the first attempt because if he's still standing and mobile you are in big trouble..
I met Sid and Teddy Long one night by accident at a La Quinta. I asked them for their autographs, and they were very cool about it signed without a thinking about it. Then Sid said, "hey, go knock on that door, and the guy inside will sign for you too", so I did, and Norman The Lunatic (Bastion Booger) opened the door, looked at me, then Sid and Teddy, and slammed the door on me. Sid shrugged and started laughing, and said, "well, I tried!". Good Rib and a great memory!
He really clarified a lot of things about past events and wrestlers. Such straightforward answers and explaining why a lot of things happened. BEST shoot interview ever.
Well it makes sense... the person with a better grasp on reality would understand how to 'play' the part realistically and do it in a controlled fashion. The real nutters would just do the crazy stuff as and when they wanted... no following of any script and no room to manouevre if things strayed from the 'plan'.
Matt Edwards Same here, I remember watching him through his days in my hometown of Memphis which CWA and USWA were located. The promos he pull are pretty energetic but with his Psycho character those promos are downright scary!!!
Sid is one of the first wrestling memories I have as a child. I remember him feuding with Hogan. I remember hating him and thinking he was evil. Truly a great performer and one of the most intense dudes
Sid was the most believable heel that I ever saw. I thought he went around angry all the time. He did the best promos and looked intimidating in the ring.
Second time watching this and I have to say. So many in the industry try to say that Sid wasn't intelligent, but it can't just be me that's noticed that Sid appears far more intelligent than everyone who's said otherwise. Sid is more coherent than 99% of his peers.
He's a very intelligent man, he just can't cut a good promo without flubbing very often, he may have an anxiety dissorder it's common to mess up speaking with one and it would explain the scissors incident too, however stick him with a great manager to cover for that and he'd be solid.
He’s the only one who made me look away! Absolutely scared shitless! I feel your comments in my soul lol. Now I look at him and think how much of a physical masterpiece he was. My favourite big man!
Sid was so much fun to watch. When I was a kid, every time he was on TV, I was glued to my set. Now that I'm all grown up, I still appreciate everything he's done. Thanks for the memories, Sid!
Love Sid for all his quirks. Always gave his all in the ring. he had major feuds with warrior,taker, Hogan and sting in their prime.true legendand hall of fame worthy.
I know what you mean. I first saw him in wcw, his size was fucking shocking. The first time I saw him I was like, you've got to be kidding how's anyone gonna stop this beast. Everyone else seemed like midgets next to him and we're talking about some big guys. How dudes didn't get their backs broken with those powerbombs I'll never know but he made them look so convincing I would wince on the victims behalf. One of the most memorable characters ever in any promotion, and should be hof'd just based on size to anger ratio alone. Royally scared the shit out of me every weekend - you had to love Sid. Sid's exploding eyeballs ruled the world.
Checking this out after watching his promo, match and angle from Saturday nights main event leading up to wrestlemania 8. Absolutely awesome performer.
I was in attendance during one of Sid's fill in matches for The Warrior. In Pittsburgh, Warrior was advertised vs Owen Hart. The Ring Announcer announced that Warrior had a flight problem and wouldn't be there tonight. They told us we had until the end of the next match to go to the box office and get a refund. I don't know if anyone actually did go for the refund, i stayed. Owen came out and there was a long pause after the announcer said "and his opponent". Then Sid's music hit and the place went apeshit.
I live in Memphis TN and every year there was what was called the Mid South Fair, eventually the fair was moved just outside of Memphis to Southaven Ms. One year I took my son to the Fair and we saw that there was going to be a wrestling show with some local talent but what caught our eye was Sid Vicious was main event. My son is a huge wrestling fan since the age of 1, (this kid eats, sleeps, and breathes wrestling, he's an all state wrestler currently at the age of 16) he was 6 or 7 at the time. Anyway we go to the show and there are probably 25 people sitting around the ring, sure enough Sid and some local guy was the main event, we couldn't believe such a one time HUGE star was at this little show. Well here's the thing about Sid after his match he went around and shook hands, took pictures, signed autographs, and thanked every single person that was attending. It was the thrill of my young son's life to meet such a big time wrestler. Just another story of how nice a guy Sid really is
One lovely to talk to, tough old bas***d. Love his honesty. He sounded like a real hard working guy. Thanks to the both Sid Eudy and the interviewer. Like most of us on here I want to say thanks for entertaining us as kids and giving us memorable moments. These guys were hero's to us when we were young. Thanks Sid !
Sid was one of my heroes growing up, I remember sitting up late on school nights in ireland to watch wcw just for Sid. Great upload of a great sportsman and personality!
Great interview! Still remember one of the greatest promo's ever with sid at wm 8. Boy was he jacked! Just recently passed away 8/26/24 RIP much missed and yea you still Rule the World!
I love Sid. One of my childhood favourites. He should have held the title long. He had charisma, size, and great mic skills. I remember as a kid seeing his and Bret’s traps. They were huge. I started working out after that.💯
I don’t think Sid has ever realized he is a 6”9 -300 pound beast , if he had a little bit of EGO , he would be in the top 5 of all time but he is a very humble nice guy and I hope he has made money in this business nonetheless
From what I heard he saved most of his money from his last WCW run. I think he was making 800-900k a year before WCW went under. Hannibal did a video on the WCW salaries a few weeks back
Admittedly, I was never a very big fan of Sid back when I was younger and he was a big time wrestler but, after listening to him shoot about his career, I have a completely new respect for him and his work.
Im kind of the same way. At the time, I thought he was just a clumsy dumbbell who was just a body guy. Im still not sure he was much more than that in the ring, but I like this guy.
Over here in Belfast . I saw him take on the undertaker. It was iconic seeing them doing their nose to nose spot in real life... #BIG SID HOF Anyway I was ringside and Sid and taker were outside the ring. Big Sid had a crappy fold up Irish wooden chair (no steel ones) lol And as Big Sid was pummelling him with it. Some fool threw something at Sid. Without missing a beat, Sid turns and with evil intensity and veins everywhere turns round and yells "cmon you effing bastit"... Always loved Sid . We used to get NWA/WCW late night on a Tuesday but was never in time until we got sky TV in 91. Where my first ppv was summerslam 91 Always sad when a hero dies. But in his body of work he will never grow old.. Best wishes to you his friends and family God bless🇮🇪 RIP BIG SID
Sid always got huge pops in NY and the NE in general. Whenever he was a heel in WWF he was in reality a babyface/tweener. A great wrestler and seems like an honest guy too
He got big pops in Memphis. He had a great run in Memphis in 1994 while in between WCW and WWF. He just showed up as a heel, destroyed Lawler, took the belt and totally dominated the territory like he always should have been booked in WCW or WWF. He turned face at the end when he left of the WWF, but still showed up in Memphis once a month or so as a face. He always got a huge pop and drew much bigger crowds than normal.
If you remember in the fall of 97 Sid wasn’t in WWF or WCW, I live in North Carolina and we didn’t get ECW On TV here until they got there nationwide deal with TNN the last year they were in business, so when I was watching the in your house PPV During the hell in a cell match between HBK and Undertaker And Cain walked out I thought for sure it was Sid with a mask and wig lol I mean back then if you saw a 7 foot guy built like that under a mask it could really only be a handful of people and and they never put Issac Yakim Over as a 7 foot guy. They talked about him being a big guy but they kind of just put them over as you’re bigger than average wrestler. Because he didn’t work like a big guy van. You would never see Bret Harte doing all the moves he did to Kane that he had with the evil Dentist. So for a few weeks there I was debating with friends if Kane was really Sid. lol
Newfound respect for Sid. Dude was fucking over everywhere. The WWF blew it with this guy during that first run. I always saw him as a chaotic babyface, would have been ahead of his time if they had him replace Hogan as a grey area good guy. Also, great shoot Hannibal.
always thought he should have stayed after Hogan left in 92, Vince would have made him a big star in his prime, possibly holding the title before he got it in 96
Sid was one of the nicest guys ever. As a junior in high school, myself and 4 friends went to the pyramid to watch WWF. On the way, I told the guys we were stopping by sid's house on the way. I walked up to his door, knocked , and his wife said no and slammed the door. He immediately opened the door, nothing but jeans, stepped out and took a picture with us. We probably shouldn't have stopped by, but he was so nice
This dude's theme music really scarred me back when I was really young but hell of a wrestler. This is one interview I listened to from start to finish without stopping it for any reason. Great job!
Sid has always been one of my favorites. A true Monster who was soooooo over!!! Back then there was always the thought of this guy might just go crazy at anytime. Love this guy 💪
"I took him out into the crowd and pummeled him"🤣🤣🤣 One of the best interviews I've ever seen. Sid seems like a very humble, straightforward type of guy.
Had Vince used Sid properly from 92 onwards, they would never have got into as much trouble as they did in the mid 90s, he was the man too replace Hulk
I *really* don't think so. The early/mid 90s was the infamous steroid trials, and Hogan testified against Vince. That's why Hogan disappeared for a while after WM8, and why his short lived return didn't work out. There wasn't much love lost there. I mean, I agree McMahon should've given Sid that shot, but his reasons for not doing it certainly weren't because he was too big a fanboy of the guy that was literally working to ruin him and his company.
Sid was was one of my favorite wrestlers. Even as a heel. His attitude and movement as a big guy was incredible. I saw when he broke his leg. I was like oh no. Thank you Sid for all that you have done and the memories.
I love hearing shoot interviews from guys that weren’t completely married to the restaurant business but still took it seriously like Sid and Sting, They don’t carry grudges and gossip like other wrestlers do.
I have to say this is the best interview i've ever seen. Sid seems like a stand up guy and a man of his word basically about as normal of a person as you'll find.
I came back here to say RIP Sid. You scared the living sht out of me as a kid and i thank you for the entertainment..also thanks Hannibal for these great interviews of him
That JUSTICE song was PERFECT for what that charecter was supposed to be, the new Hulk Hogan. Fucking Zahorian. THINK ABOUT IT: If Dr.dipshit doesn't get indicated, Vince doesn't go w workers on top in 92' he goes w steroided up freaks still... Where would the business have gone??.
It was perfect for the closing of PPVs MONSOON: "Your looking brain at the most impressive wwf champion and in my opinion greatest athlete in sports today, SID JUSTICE. BRAIN: Monsoon, he's the man that rules the world! (Ending of WRESTLEMANIA 8 beating FLAIR clean via the Powerbomb) Da Da Da dum ..dum..dum ..
Such a humble guy. Hearing how he was hesitant to suggest doing his spots with the Four Horsemen is evidence of that. He probably could have wiped the floor with any of them in a real fight, but he was respectful and paid his dues.
Awesome vid. I'm even a bigger fan now. Listening to other wrestlers I thought Sid was a souless douce behind the scenes. After this interview, I now know this guy was grounded the whole time.
Sid seems like one of the "good" guys in Pro wrestling. A lot of shoot interviews it is hard to determine how real the stories are, Sid sounds genuine.
Lol when i was a kid my dad's fav wrestler was Sid. Dad always said "Son when you grow up i want you to have a body of steel like this man!" super inspiring guy a total badass!
I just paid 99p to rent this for 72 hours, Sid is great & doesn't do many interviews. Loved when him and goldberg fought in wcw and he was covered in blood and had 2 be taken away by rick steiner and he was still trying 2 go back. So awesome.
Many nights my friends and I would see Sid and his buddies at various nightclubs in Memphis..he was always chill and talkative and gracious to any fans that approached him..
Love Sid. Was so happy to see him when the titles back in 96. His best matches were against Hart, Michaels. I remember watching the end of Survivor Series where he won his first title and some fan reached out to hug him and he seems surprised and shocked, LOL. Big man with a big heart.. one of my favorite wrestlers...
I like Sid so much more after watching this interview. Very well spoken and dude looks good. Thank you for this great content. You have a new subscriber.
"I am the man! I am the master! and I am the ruler of the world!" Sid is my all time favorite wrestler met him once upon a time in Sturgis, SD at one of the Road Wild PPVs there awesome dude. Might not have been the greatest worker in the business but I marked out for him lol. Always had to be Sid when my buddies and i would wrestle groing up

The fact that he keeps referring to you by your first name...is a sign of a true gentleman
The stabbing incident between him and arn sounded crazy and I could imagine being there while seeing this and Leon vader's interview on it , I stuck my thumb in sids stab wound and held it there what a legend
hey, dude, thank you for posting this for free and sharing it with us
I love watching both interviews. Can you do a part 3? Be great to see Sid interview again
I like Sid but Kevin Owens can wrestle his ass off!
I don't care what anyone says about Sid, I always found him great to watch.
Ian Totten He sucked
Ian Totten, I saw him live /in person (1992 & 1997) & he was F'n AWESOME!!!!
Ian Totten Especially in ECW. I still remember Judge Jeff Jone's classic Line at Hardcore Heaven 99, "You're not getting the chair, you're getting executed by the MAN!" Then Sid came out to a huge pop. And then kicked Justin Credible's ass. It was very fun to watch. Even Jeff Jones himself got beat lol Sid is not as bad as everybody clams.

Terrific story .A true "heart warmer". Thank you for sharing
Good to know all the boys can be decent human beings. This made me happy

Sid was one of the few wrestlers that convinced me as a kid watching him that he was really that psycho. It's strange to now see how cool, calm, and collected he is IRL. Respect.
Very true
He doesn't get enough credit for being the first most over "unhinged" monster heel during his Wcw and Wwf run
Same here, I was 11 year's old when he came in and his look n promo's were awesome intense
On Hogan: “It wasn’t that I was any better than him, it’s just that I was a new face…and I was better than him.” 😆😆😆 I love Sid.
RIP Sid. I watched this interview when it first came out but I had to come back to it after Sid passed.
I watched it a couple years ago now I'm watching it again he was one of my favorites when I was a kid

Broke his neck, broke his leg, got stabbed multiple times. This is a tough dude.
And he actually won that fight where he was stabbed multiple times everyone seems to forget and they were Arn's scissors
Yes, indeed
@@TheHannibalTV he was stabbed 4 times and he stabbed Arn Anderson 20 times, nevertheless there’s no doubting his toughness.
When you stab a guy that big and crazy you better get the job done on the first attempt because if he's still standing and mobile you are in big trouble..

Funny how the guys who play the craziest characters in the ring are often the most cool, collected and down to earth in real life.
And a good parent and financially stable person as well.

Big Sid is Truly up There at The Top.🙏
Best shoot interview I've seen to date. He tells the truth both good and bad about his entire life in the business.
Sid was the man. I believe what he says, he comes off as very humble
i just remember how Sid stayed in character during The Shockmaster’s disastrous debut. now thats a true professional 🤣
The Collector , I remember seeing it on TV and thinking that the Shockmaster was going to be a new angle ... a bumbling monster.
😂😂😂😂
"ee's fell on 'is fookin arse!"
Poor Uncle Fred... He went from Ready to Save the Faces to Trying to Save His Face in a blink of an eye
😂😂😂😂
Sadly!..Sid is underrated!..Not just as a big man..As a dominant Force in wrestling
I know what you mean. I first saw him in wcw, his size was fucking shocking. The first time I saw him I was like, you've got to be kidding how's anyone gonna stop this beast.

I was at the 92 rumble with my brothers and my dad. We were 10, 11, 12 years old cheering for Sid. He was so freaking cool.
One lovely to talk to, tough old bas***d. Love his honesty. He sounded like a real hard working guy. Thanks to the both Sid Eudy and the interviewer. Like most of us on here I want to say thanks for entertaining us as kids and giving us memorable moments. These guys were hero's to us when we were young. Thanks Sid !
Sid was one of my heroes growing up, I remember sitting up late on school nights in ireland to watch wcw just for Sid. Great upload of a great sportsman and personality!
Rest in power big man. Thank you for the awesome childhood memories!
this is one if not the greatest interview done. we need more folks like sid in this wrestling business. i learned alot from this interview.
Great interview! Still remember one of the greatest promo's ever with sid at wm 8. Boy was he jacked! Just recently passed away 8/26/24 RIP much missed and yea you still Rule the World!
Awesome big man; I might still watch wrestling if Sid was there
I love Sid. One of my childhood favourites. He should have held the title long. He had charisma, size, and great mic skills.
I remember as a kid seeing his and Bret’s traps. They were huge. I started working out after that.💯
I don’t think Sid has ever realized he is a 6”9 -300 pound beast , if he had a little bit of EGO , he would be in the top 5 of all time but he is a very humble nice guy and I hope he has made money in this business nonetheless
Top 5 not even close. Maybe the top 50.
From what I heard he saved most of his money from his last WCW run. I think he was making 800-900k a year before WCW went under. Hannibal did a video on the WCW salaries a few weeks back
Hes too humble....
Of course he saved his money. Just look at his shirt and the way he presents himself in this video.
Example is Hogan. He is rich, egoist, racist and banned by any companies everywhere...
Admittedly, I was never a very big fan of Sid back when I was younger and he was a big time wrestler but, after listening to him shoot about his career, I have a completely new respect for him and his work.
Im kind of the same way. At the time, I thought he was just a clumsy dumbbell who was just a body guy. Im still not sure he was much more than that in the ring, but I like this guy.
Over here in Belfast . I saw him take on the undertaker. It was iconic seeing them doing their nose to nose spot in real life...
#BIG SID HOF
Anyway I was ringside and Sid and taker were outside the ring.
Big Sid had a crappy fold up Irish wooden chair (no steel ones) lol
And as Big Sid was pummelling him with it.
Some fool threw something at Sid.
Without missing a beat, Sid turns and with evil intensity and veins everywhere turns round and yells "cmon you effing bastit"...
Always loved Sid .
We used to get NWA/WCW late night on a Tuesday but was never in time until we got sky TV in 91. Where my first ppv was summerslam 91
Always sad when a hero dies. But in his body of work he will never grow old..
Best wishes to you his friends and family
God bless🇮🇪
RIP BIG SID
im 42 ..and still huge fan of Sid Vicious
Same here
55 here huge fan of Sid The Master & Ruler Of The World
Sid always got huge pops in NY and the NE in general. Whenever he was a heel in WWF he was in reality a babyface/tweener.
A great wrestler and seems like an honest guy too
He got big pops in Memphis. He had a great run in Memphis in 1994 while in between WCW and WWF. He just showed up as a heel, destroyed Lawler, took the belt and totally dominated the territory like he always should have been booked in WCW or WWF. He turned face at the end when he left of the WWF, but still showed up in Memphis once a month or so as a face. He always got a huge pop and drew much bigger crowds than normal.
Look at you, with your wrestling terms!
Those crowds could see that he wasn't hiding behind some bs gimmick. He was gritty, raw and straight-up without being too southern for the North.
This interview has such perfect flow - there's so much history covered - one of Devon's BEST outings as an interviewer for sure.
Sid's one of those guys who look 35 forever! Thanks for uploading Hannibal
Come on bro. That is not what a 35 year old looks like. Maybe to an 8 year old
A Sid/Kane feud would have been good
That would had been epic!!
If you remember in the fall of 97 Sid wasn’t in WWF or WCW, I live in North Carolina and we didn’t get ECW On TV here until they got there nationwide deal with TNN the last year they were in business, so when I was watching the in your house PPV During the hell in a cell match between HBK and Undertaker And Cain walked out I thought for sure it was Sid with a mask and wig lol I mean back then if you saw a 7 foot guy built like that under a mask it could really only be a handful of people and and they never put Issac Yakim Over as a 7 foot guy. They talked about him being a big guy but they kind of just put them over as you’re bigger than average wrestler. Because he didn’t work like a big guy van. You would never see Bret Harte doing all the moves he did to Kane that he had with the evil Dentist. So for a few weeks there I was debating with friends if Kane was really Sid. lol
Facts.....
I would’ve loved to have seen a Sid/Mankind feud
Kane would literally run circles around this guy.
Sid puts on a great shoot interview
I love this shoot interview with Sid. He makes a fellow Arkansan proud.
Newfound respect for Sid. Dude was fucking over everywhere. The WWF blew it with this guy during that first run. I always saw him as a chaotic babyface, would have been ahead of his time if they had him replace Hogan as a grey area good guy. Also, great shoot Hannibal.
always thought he should have stayed after Hogan left in 92, Vince would have made him a big star in his prime, possibly holding the title before he got it in 96
Sid was one of the nicest guys ever. As a junior in high school, myself and 4 friends went to the pyramid to watch WWF. On the way, I told the guys we were stopping by sid's house on the way. I walked up to his door, knocked , and his wife said no and slammed the door. He immediately opened the door, nothing but jeans, stepped out and took a picture with us. We probably shouldn't have stopped by, but he was so nice
Really enjoyed that. He was engrossing. Thanks Hannibal.
This dude's theme music really scarred me back when I was really young but hell of a wrestler. This is one interview I listened to from start to finish without stopping it for any reason. Great job!
Sid has always been one of my favorites.
A true Monster who was soooooo over!!!
Back then there was always the thought of this guy might just go crazy at anytime.
Love this guy 💪
Sid is a compassionate cool guy with a straight mind and quite intelligent. One of my favorites and appreciate the interview. thank you
When Sid broke his leg that was so brutal!
"I took him out into the crowd and pummeled him"🤣🤣🤣
One of the best interviews I've ever seen. Sid seems like a very humble, straightforward type of guy.
Best shoot interview I have ever seen. Prototypical monster heel.
Sid is a very down to earth guy and I like when he says thank you to the fans
One of my favorite wrestlers.
Had Vince used Sid properly from 92 onwards, they would never have got into as much trouble as they did in the mid 90s, he was the man too replace Hulk
Vince was too much of a hulk a maniac back then
Maybe... Sadly we will never know.
I was 12-13 years old in 92 and Wrestling was my Joy and Happiness .
I was Definitely on the Sid Wagon
To replace Hulks Spot in the early 90s.
I *really* don't think so. The early/mid 90s was the infamous steroid trials, and Hogan testified against Vince. That's why Hogan disappeared for a while after WM8, and why his short lived return didn't work out. There wasn't much love lost there.
I mean, I agree McMahon should've given Sid that shot, but his reasons for not doing it certainly weren't because he was too big a fanboy of the guy that was literally working to ruin him and his company.
A lot of Vince's decisions were just idiotic. Like giving the title to Ultimate Warrior (who as you know couldn't wrestle a bit).
Sid was was one of my favorite wrestlers. Even as a heel. His attitude and movement as a big guy was incredible. I saw when he broke his leg. I was like oh no. Thank you Sid for all that you have done and the memories.
I kind of think he was better as a heel.
Best shoot interview I've seen possible ever !!
Hannibal does the greatest interviews. Brilliant
Marc Young That’s a true story lol
Best in the wrestling game.
these interviews from Hannibal, ... Sid is now top of the heap!!
Outstanding, honest. Seems like a great guy, a normal guy.
Facts.....very honest.....
A true lovely gentle giant, god bless you 🙏 sid 😊😊awesome 🎉😊😊.
I love hearing shoot interviews from guys that weren’t completely married to the restaurant business but still took it seriously like Sid and Sting, They don’t carry grudges and gossip like other wrestlers do.
Restaurant business?
Great interview, Sid is still one of the best. Sid said "it is a joke". But I think he has earned a spot in the WWE HOF.
I have to say this is the best interview i've ever seen. Sid seems like a stand up guy and a man of his word basically about as normal of a person as you'll find.
I came back here to say RIP Sid. You scared the living sht out of me as a kid and i thank you for the entertainment..also thanks Hannibal for these great interviews of him
I was always thought his Side Justice WWF Theme music was one of the Greatest themes ever...
Reyzor Saint it was. That music was bad ass!
Kona Crush's theme, shortly after that, was basically the same with more reverb/delay.
That JUSTICE song was PERFECT for what that charecter was supposed to be, the new Hulk Hogan.
Fucking Zahorian.
THINK ABOUT IT: If Dr.dipshit doesn't get indicated, Vince doesn't go w workers on top in 92' he goes w steroided up freaks still... Where would the business have gone??.
It was perfect for the closing of PPVs
MONSOON: "Your looking brain at the most impressive wwf champion and in my opinion greatest athlete in sports today, SID JUSTICE.
BRAIN: Monsoon, he's the man that rules the world!
(Ending of WRESTLEMANIA 8 beating FLAIR clean via the Powerbomb)
Da Da Da dum ..dum..dum ..
Who the fuck is side justice? Its sid get it right or I'll powerbomb your ass straight to hell! Who's the man?
The master and RULER OF THE WORLD!!!
Frater Oculus Ever seen Sid break his leg gross,. One of the most sick things I have ever seen look it up.Gross
Frater Oculus Undertaker kicked his ass. Overrated as fuck.
Kylo Ren...It's predetermined...fake as fuck😂🤣
Steve Borowsky Who's the man? Powerbomb!
Steve Borowsky Who's the man? Powerbomb!
Wow, didn't expect him to be so well spoken. And it was cool how he kept saying to interviewer's name to keep it more of a two-way conversation.
Such a humble guy. Hearing how he was hesitant to suggest doing his spots with the Four Horsemen is evidence of that. He probably could have wiped the floor with any of them in a real fight, but he was respectful and paid his dues.
Awesome vid. I'm even a bigger fan now. Listening to other wrestlers I thought Sid was a souless douce behind the scenes. After this interview, I now know this guy was grounded the whole time.
Sid seems like one of the "good" guys in Pro wrestling. A lot of shoot interviews it is hard to determine how real the stories are, Sid sounds genuine.
dude this is awesome thanks for the upload. Sid is cool as hell down to earth good guy.
Lol when i was a kid my dad's fav wrestler was Sid. Dad always said "Son when you grow up i want you to have a body of steel like this man!" super inspiring guy a total badass!
He seems so genuine and honest great to see
This was a very good interview. He really did not say anything bad about anyone.
Best wrestling shoot interview I've ever seen and heard...man I could keep listening to sid and the wrestling stories all day..salute
Sid is a legend !!
Sid is a great soul. He's the kind of guy you want fighting alongside you in the trenches. Dude scared the shit outta me when I was a kid.
I just paid 99p to rent this for 72 hours, Sid is great & doesn't do many interviews. Loved when him and goldberg fought in wcw and he was covered in blood and had 2 be taken away by rick steiner and he was still trying 2 go back. So awesome.
Classy Guy. One of the best Shoots I've seen.
This Interview Filled in a lot of gaps for me as far as his career. Thanks
Great interview.Sid is very articulate and i wish him well in his future endeavours.
Appreciate the upload. Great job by both Sid and the interviewer.
Many nights my friends and I would see Sid and his buddies at various nightclubs in Memphis..he was always chill and talkative and gracious to any fans that approached him..
Thanks for posting for free! You're a damn saint.
Dude always got a huge pop in New York and New Jersey. Those matches made me a fan
Love Sid. Was so happy to see him when the titles back in 96. His best matches were against Hart, Michaels. I remember watching the end of Survivor Series where he won his first title and some fan reached out to hug him and he seems surprised and shocked, LOL. Big man with a big heart.. one of my favorite wrestlers...
That was Vladimir the Superfan!
The ruler of universe who's the Man!!!!! Psycho Sid is !!!!! awesome interview! Thank you hannibal!!!!👊
I like Sid so much more after watching this interview. Very well spoken and dude looks good. Thank you for this great content. You have a new subscriber.
"I am the man! I am the master! and I am the ruler of the world!" Sid is my all time favorite wrestler met him once upon a time in Sturgis, SD at one of the Road Wild PPVs there awesome dude. Might not have been the greatest worker in the business but I marked out for him lol. Always had to be Sid when my buddies and i would wrestle groing up
