They should have given Sid a better push and stuck with it. Some booed him, and some cheered him..but in the end the fans truly did love him, and we miss him.
late 96 and early 97 even mid 97 he was getting one of the biggest pops out of all the faces on the wwf roster I don't know how he didn't get a long run with the belt around that time but it all worked out in the end
As others have stated. This man could take time off and do what he truly loved playing softball. But then come back as a surprise in some territory whether it be a mainstream company or the indy's. And make a HUGE impact. That's the kind of drawing power he had. He's no longer with us and it's a damn shame. He kicked out to cancer i lost my mom to pancreatic cancer 2yrs ago. So it's a tough battle in whatever form it takes. I want to thank him for all the great memories he left me with. After watching and being a part of this business for the past 35yrs. I followed his career since his debut as Lord Humongous back in CWA in '84. And i knew then he was going to be something very special. RIP Sid and hopefully your reunited with two of your close friends in Leon "Vader" White and Scott Bam Bam Bigelow.

Extremely quick and strong powerful athlete who was very lean to be that big!! Sid you are one hell of a man and thank you for your contribution to professional wrestling around the world!!!!
Sid Vicious had awesome charisma. The 1991 Summer Slam event was indiction of that. If life is fair, which it's not. Sid Vicious would've been "The Guy" in the World Wrestling Federation.
you ever heard the story Nash told? Vince tried to give sid the keys in 92 but sid didn't want to be a face he wanted to be a big monster heel. this is according to Nash
Sid shudda been the biggest star Pro Wrestling ever had. With that height, body, look, everything...just total pkg. He reminded me alot of Dr. D David Schultz who was my personal favorite bk in the day. I like the REAL badasses
I think it was just Sid himself who held himself back from being at least one of the biggest to ever do it. Wrestling wasn’t his main passion, which honestly makes it that much more awesome that he was so great at it. And it’s really cool that as mean as he was in character to other wrestlers, he never trash talked the fans as far as I can remember. Always interacted with the crowd. He was a heel only in the ring. Miss him greatly.
@@chocolatetownforever7537 Agreed. Him n Sid same...not the best promos so I shudnt have said total pkg but both of em just chillin at home? Very intelligent cool dudes. Overplayed the heel angle a bit
From what I've heard Sid is a super nice guy. Alot of fans dislike him because he was never passionate about the business like a Bret Hart or Eddie Guerrero or Mick Foley.
I’ve met him several times, he was always super nice. I know one of the guys you mentioned and hung out back in the locker room and talk to the boys. Sid remembered my name, was always super nice and he was huge! Him, Undertaker and Kane were huge!
To me, being passionate about your fans is even more important to me than being passionate about the business. It’s really cool to me that he always showed appreciation to the fans even as a heel. Great guy.
How do the fans know if he wasn't passionate about the business? To me he always came across as a legit big man. It's the other wrestlers that are pissed at him because he wasn't a typical wrestling lifer. He wanted to get paid and said what he felt and that pissed people off.
what people do not appreciate: Without the very few Sid types there is NO professional wrestling!!!.. You remove the big athletic bad ass guys from pro wrestling and the credibility of the sport evaporates and you have nothing !!!... no one is going to watch an average 6ft 200lb pretty boy talk trash.
Sid didn't get the push he deserved, but a lot of people don't know that he was seriously injured during important parts of his push. He broke his ribs and punctured a lung against the Steiner Brothers, broke his leg in half on another account, and I believe he he tore his bicep against Jake "the snake" Roberts; which caused him to miss Summerslam. Great wrestler with bad luck.
Actually that was the 1991 Survivor Series that canceled Sid s attempt to be in an elimination Survivor Series Match then Macho Man Randy Savage gets re instated then he has to miss out too because Jake Roberts puts his snake to bite Randy s arm. After 1991 Survivor Series it got personal between Randy and Jake
I was a big Sid fan. Him Mick Foley and Kane the WWE didn’t use him properly in SIDS first run there. The story goes that the people were cheering louder for him than Hogan when they wrestled each other. Sid said Hogan was furious and went off on Vince and blamed him because of that. We all know Hogan didn’t like any competition, especially from guys bigger than him. We all also know Hogan tried to bury anyone like that.
You know always liked big wrestler although I am 5.8-5.9 myself but I loved Kevin Nash and loved more phsycho Sid, the Superman t-shirt he has this weird aura that I don't get from any other wrestler. He looks legit too. (And of course Undertaker is living legend)
Cool shit for two reasons ! 1. I just re watched this match the other day for probably the third time actually , two times after watching it live in my youth . and 2. This was posted on my bday ! LOL ! I loved the Skyscrapers though ! Both incarnations !
Sometimes they did, other times they didn't. Either way people are going to give me hell for it on here but on the shirt I had of his as a kid it was ph
Is Tank Abbott BLUE these days or is it me? He looks like one of those Kentucky Hill people that turn blue because Uncle Daddy and Granny Momma fell in love with each other and had ... Blue Kentucky Hill people for kids.
Making a move on another guy's wife is bad enough in my books but when you do it in front of him and the guy is 6'9 and 350 lbs that's beyond insane..
Dude had a death wish
Then he s asking for trouble thenit gets personal
They should have given Sid a better push and stuck with it. Some booed him, and some cheered him..but in the end the fans truly did love him, and we miss him.
late 96 and early 97 even mid 97 he was getting one of the biggest pops out of all the faces on the wwf roster I don't know how he didn't get a long run with the belt around that time but it all worked out in the end
Because the kliq was running things then.
@@noyb12345 yeah but only Hunter and Shawn were there and the kliq had no issues with Sid.
The kliq didn't have any issues with Sid your right, as long as he wasn't champ
Amen to that...I wish they never gave him the Lord Humongous gimmick cuz he didn't need it

Sid was the goat of heels
He was the last true heel
Current wrestlers could make wwe watchable if they studied his old tapes
His promos were awesome
Blame Vince. He doesn't allow anything unless he approves
I met Sid a few times. I couldn’t believe how big he was. He was huge and very nice to the fans.
As Sid Justice, he impressed me more as the Undertaker or Hogan.
His Promos made me fear

thanks man
Thx so much for the breakdown man
Of all the versions I've heard from all involved in the hotel incident, Sid sounds like he's telling the most truth
I was hoping they would interview The Shockmaster, he always knew how to make Sid laugh.
R.I.P. Sid and Kevin Sullivan
Sid always had some of the best interviews. hope you do more of those with him.
Sid has a podcast too
Extremely quick and strong powerful athlete who was very lean to be that big!!
Sid you are one hell of a man and thank you for your contribution to professional wrestling around the world!!!!
Imagine Pyscho Sid going nuts on you w a pair of scissors....holy shit that's nightmare stuff lol
Honestly I always enjoyed watching big Sid in the ring.

As soon as softball season comes around dudes gone lol
Rest in power brother sid and Kevin Sullivan
Sid was never used correctly. He had the look. Size and he understood the biz

Dr. D was such a badass. Kind of a moron though.

@@victorcook4530 Right on man. Sid was more worried about his softball league lol

The magic of this life . Rip to Vader who did what he could to save Sid . And Sid still alive

I’m still a Sid mark.
I'd say you're more of a skid mark
Big Van Vader seems such a great bloke!, rip Sid, loved him as a heel or face
Sid was the MOST INTIMIDATING BIG MAN EVER 💪😊
I was a big Sid fan. Him Mick Foley and Kane the WWE didn’t use him properly in SIDS first run there. The story goes that the people were cheering louder for him than Hogan when they wrestled each other. Sid said Hogan was furious and went off on Vince and blamed him because of that.

Rip sid and kevin Sullivan
RIP SID 🙏 thank you for the memories
I was at the show in Indianapolis when he broke his leg. NASTY INJUARY
I never want to see that again I remember watching that one
Sid was and always be my favorite time for the power bomb!
Yessss Hannibal!👍
#RIPSid The Ruler and The Master of the world 🌍
One of my favorite wrestlers
2 cold scorpio got some ears on him. 🤣🤣🤣
On camera, Vader wasa monster, in reality, he was an Angel! Both Sid and Arn literally owe him their lives!
You know always liked big wrestler although I am 5.8-5.9 myself but I loved Kevin Nash and loved more phsycho Sid, the Superman t-shirt he has this weird aura that I don't get from any other wrestler. He looks legit too.
(And of course Undertaker is living legend)
Sid was greatest of all time ❤
He could've been the new HULK HOGAN
Only Tank Abbott left of those on the photo. RIP to all. Only met Tracey and he was an awesome guy.
Cool shit for two reasons ! 1. I just re watched this match the other day for probably the third time actually , two times after watching it live in my youth . and 2. This was posted on my bday ! LOL ! I loved the Skyscrapers though ! Both incarnations !
Could you interview someone I can understand?
I thought it was Mike Graham, not Pillman
I Feel Sid Could Make Anything A Weapon Though.
Kevin Sullivan looks like Canadian serial killer Bruce McArthur nowadays.
It's like, "Tire Iron.. or Squeegee!?" 😯
i cant understand the first question.
@Have u heard about Sid and...?"
Sid is a natural baby face an heel. He can be either one. He's better as a heel. Love the Psycho Sid gimmick. Who's the man?. Powerbomb!.
Much better heel in my opinion.
Nevermind I finally heard the full story.. it is funny
Sid Vicious was a very good wrestler in his prime.
I hate I can't name him , but who is the guy in the barn ?
Tracy Smothers aka Freddy Joe Floyd
I was wondering this too, thanks Hannibal!
@@TheHannibalTV Thanks brother !
@@TheHannibalTV who is the "BILL" he was referring too?
Sid is cool
They spelled it sycho Sid without the p when he wrestled
Sometimes they did, other times they didn't. Either way people are going to give me hell for it on here but on the shirt I had of his as a kid it was ph
Who’s the guy at 8:47? Looks like Sid’s Father
Ironically he's younger than Sid
Yupp that's what I thought too😂
softball legend sid
They both stab each other both are guilty.
True, but no stabbing happens without Arn starting with them.
Bill who? He never said what Bill did Sid have heat with?
Scissors? Why, when you could go get the squeegee?
Is Tank Abbott BLUE these days or is it me? He looks like one of those Kentucky Hill people that turn blue because Uncle Daddy and Granny Momma fell in love with each other and had ... Blue Kentucky Hill people for kids.
RIP
French Rivera spa
Jerry Jerrett sounds nothing like how Bruce Prichard impersonates... That makes me angry 😡😡
Stone cold at the bar 😎🥳
S.uddenly I.m D.ominant
I see old 2-gay Scorpio on here
I didn't know he was gay.
Too waht😂
🤣😂
Lmaoo at 2 cold 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can someone tell me why the squige story is so funny?
They tought he went outside to his car to grab his gun to shot them instead he came back to the Bar with a squegee wich made evey leaugh .
Also sid just had surgery so sid had 1 arm
Sid should have refused to lose to chris the murderer
Sid said "I have half the brain" when doing a promo on Kevin Nash. So he's not that 🌞.
“Doing a Promo”
Sid wasn’t a physco
I thought Tracey smothers was a jobber 🤔
500g of protein . .
Why me why me why md
