Psycho sid was over asf during that 1996-1997 period that entrance he made at ss 96 and winning the belt was one of the best moments and reactions in wrestling history kind of gives you goosebumps
I liked Sid better than Diesel. Sid was the shit. But I take Taker over Sid, everytime Sid got hot, he left and did something else. I loved Sid. Sid did have it, but he just never took it serious
@@Cre8Lounge they treated Sid like a Attraction person. Because he didn't take it too serious. He got over really well in the wwe. All of his theme music was good. He always scared the shit out of me, because I thought he was really the ruler of the world. He didn't wrestle much but he did pretty darn good. Vader was nice as well.
People who often didn't live during the time forget Sid was super over in '96. One of my favorite WWF PPVs is '96 Survivor Series. Sid was the heel, Shawn was the babyface. The crowd outside of women & children were solidly with Sid for the most part. Great times man.
I only noticed pro wrestling cause of sycho sid in 96, otherwise my dad had been watching it regularly, didnt interest me, but the reactions sid got, his cool entrances, his sycho gimmick, the fist bumps, the powerbombs and chokeslams, that got me hooked just in time to see him beat shawn,bret, hhh, mankind, etc.
I can only imagine being on the opposing softball team and underhanded pitching to the ruler of the world. I would to watch Sid destroy softballs in a "rage."
Who remembers that raw in 1997 weeks after wrestlemania where sid was scheduled to face mankind but didnt show up and austin replaced him in the mainevent match. its like im the only one who saw that raw. That was the night he was in a real life car accident with flash funk, since then he didnt recover much from his injury and was eventually let go.taker was give a clean win at raw cause it was known sid wasnt 100 percent ready to be full time involved due to injury issues still lingering.
He was a major star. Almost his entire career he was a main eventer. Walked into each company and was spotted right in the main spot working with the top guys. Only a star can do that
Sid definitely had It but it felt like he did not want it which was sad. He was a once in a lifetime talent but something always kept him from going all in.
@Greg Bailey yeah there not magic pill give muscles there quiet dumb.You have put in the work they try taking them sitting ass just mess there body up.it’s like boxing and MMA people think you can take steroids fight.You still hard hard on steroids if got bad diet not work to well.1995 sid looks natural
Sid was awesome..and he could have become even bigger..91/92 he should have become the man (Hogans spot)..i think the Steroid Investigation was the biggest problem...
It's been documented that Jim Ross hating ass didn't want to push SID yet he was "over" with the crowd. Remember Jim Ross did this with RVD. JR cant blame Vince you was his right hand man 🤔
Intensity, agility, athleticism, sold-well for his opponents, great-look, always in shape, and........his promos. The few times when he was _on_ he was a good-promo. The numerous-times he was _off_ was also a good-promo just from the comedy-standpoint. He also had that "it" factor. He was believable. His promos in 1992 made you believe that he was a legit KILLER. He was a bigger, stronger, faster, and more athletic-version of Hulk Hogan. That's what I think Vince saw in him, and in my opinion THAT'S why Sid was popular.
@@D2Kprime nah all he had was looks and a little promo skills but he had no agility, athleticism or speed whatsover unlike Taker and he was not that strong either compared to the likes of Nash, Kane and Taker
I actually thought when that happened when stone cold did that angle with him, austin breaking into his house in all that, it put so much stress and anxiety on Brian Pullman, that’s what lead to his death, but no it wasn’t.
Nothing to bad about playing softball to rehab an injury. All he was DH'ing and he smashed the ball almost everytime he swung so he wasn't stealing bases or sliding into second for doubles.
