Sycho Sid Tells a Dean Malenko Story  

When I was a kid I thought he was one of the scariest dudes in wrestling

Sid should be in the hall of fame, should have been done years ago, way over due.

This is why 90s was so much better

Sid & Dean need to be in the HOF

That is what is wrong with Aew. Someone Sids size would have a very competitive, back & forth match with 15 finishers with someone Malenkos size and maybe even lose.

Sid hit him with a "that's not gonna work for me, brother" 😂

Even though Sid wasn't the greatest. I think he's still a hall of famer

This is one of my favorite shoot moments. It really sums up everything about pro wrestling. Dean and Sid could have a creative, entertaining match but it would be so phony.

RIP Sid

Rip my guy

RIP Sid Justice

Regardless of size difference, Chris Benoit could’ve held his own against Sid. And they definitely could’ve had a believable back and forth wrestling match. Could Dean? No.

Dean malenko a great technical wrestler but cmon . sid is 6'9 malenko was basically a midget compared to him lol

God Sid ruled!

Thing is even though dean is around 5ft 5 to 5ft 6, he would stretch the shit outta SID, yeah size means something but a man who knows how to use what hes got will kick the shit outta any man bigger than him

World's Greatest Softball Player

Sid Vicious should do a return as a guest in Wrestlemania, SummerSlam etc.

Benoit would out work and out skill any big man on any given night. 💥 Boom flying headbutt 1-2-3

Sid was a big monster

He put Benoit over in the end tho.

I remember watching the match live on TV when he jumped from the top rope and his shin snapped in two! It looked so weird because his big rubber boot was hiding the injury so it looked like a floppy fake leg.

His leg break will be remembered for generations

A tall man could get caught in a drop toehold...

I guess nobody saw the value of an underdog; David and Goliath, type of story in the ring back then?

As a Kid was really scared every time i saw Sid on TV and thinked, damn if i was a wrestler, i would be so scared to step into the ring with him 🤣

Sycho sid does have a 1980s psycho look

Size don't mean shit in the real world. Yall just make louder noises when you slam on the floor 😂

Malenko was a junior heavyweight. Drop toe hold? Really?

Legend

HE'S RIGHT

Should be in the HoF years ago, deserves it

Lord Humungous tells it like it is.

After seeing this I feel like his leg break was karmic 😅

Find me one person on this PLANET that has a Sid Vicious match in the their Top 50. Hell, Top 100 matches of all time. Literally couldn't do it.

Im around 5'10 legit and an amateur wrestler currently about 210 lean. I would have gone into business for myself and made Sid regret his words. I guess id be billed as 6 and 230. Met him once in 96, he is not 6'9 at a stretch he was 6'6 max 6'7.

That's why sid never got as big as he could have. He was afraid of wrestling skill. Only wanted brute matches.

Sid was over everywhere he went. He is criminally under rated.

I love when sid powerbombs jobbers! It looks like it kills them!

Probably why Dean was a much better wrestler than Sid

Facts but damn my guy really did him like that … 4foot😂

And Dean or Chris would of ruined him in real life 🎉

You've got $20 and want to see wrestling. One side of town has Dean Malenko in the main event, and the other side has Sid. 99/100 are going to see Sid every time.

That’s unrealistic, the big guy don’t always win in real life.

That's like when Mysterio beat Nash.. made no sense!!

Benoit ended up beating Sid for the WCW title right before he left for WWF 😂

Business. Treat it like one AEW ffs

But Malenko and Beniot would have taken Sid apart by taking out his legs

Nobody speaks highly of Sid.... except Sid.

Honestly this sounds great but in reality you can push absolutely anybody and the fans will get onboard and it can be great. Sid is literally just opening up on exactly what was wrong with WCW back then - big guys only at the top and such a dog eat dog vicious working environment, with steroid abuse rampant and all kinds of bad shit going on between wrestlers. Tell me Daniel Bryan or CM Punk or Shawn Michaels or Kurt Angle or Eddie Guerrero or Ric Flair don't deserve to beat this giant loon just because he's taller. Who's a better worker? Who can go 365 for years without an injury? Who can go for a multiple falls Iron man match over 60 minutes? Sid has his place but he's like a lot of those big guys from that era - an overconfident asshole and a bully who felt entitled to be top of the pile just because they were bigger physically. The smaller, more talented workers aren't just there to be fed to oversized monstrosities any more.

Dean Malenko is considered a very good technical wrestler. There would be some justification against the powerhouse Sid.

Reminds me of flipping through the channels several years ago and seeing Daniel Bryan vs Batista on like Smackdown I think it was. I love both wrestlers, who was booking that shit? It looked like a grown man wrestling his 5 year old son. You cannot suspend your disbelief to that visual, it looked ridiculous. Someone who was checking it out trying to get into it is going to see that and be like, wtf? It's like Jim Cornette says, the people that know wrestling don't have the money and the people that don't know how have the money to do it.

This is what i mean!!!!! Wrestling is not believable anymore!! Like Malenko would really hit the dropped toe hold on Sid lmao😂😂😂😂,a 300 ,7ft guy

Dean makenko was a midcard, sid was a multiple time main title holder, a main eventer all theoughtout the 90s, dean was never a main eventer, hope i angered all the "technical" wrestling fans,the only technical wrestler i ever enjoyed was bret hart

He got his ass handed to him by a little guy

Dean could prob beat Sid if they were to play out a long story. Dean being technical he could’ve tricked Sid at one point 🤷🏻‍♂️ David vs Goliath

Sid over Malenko & Benoit every day of the week, and twice on Sunday!

Back when wrestling was good.

4ft . 😂

If he ever said that to me, I’d monkey flip him, do a drop toehold and when he got up I’d hurricanrama him. I’m 5ft 7 so I can see him arguing with me.

This whatever 😅like mens

Never liked dean malenko.waste of tv time.

I love when marks says things like "Sid is way bigger than Malenko so why would he sell anything to someone so small?" Maybe because pro wrestling is storyline-driven, choreographed fight scenes performed live, the whole point is the spectacle, knowing anything can happen because it's planned and rehearsed. If you want realistic fights, go watch real combat sports 😂

I thought his name wad Sud vicious !?!

Boy it's so funny How Chris and Dean went on to work for the real big show in WWE, and Chris won the title and Sisd Worked his last shows in a emptied out Highschool gym...Sid was a garbage wrestler with a decent look for the latex"80's"

This is why certain wrestlers shouldn't be working together
