I LOVED Sid. There was just a believability factor about him. Huge, muscular, weird ass but just screaming promos. To me he was always money, even as a kid watching
Vader actually contacted the company about 3 or 4 times. He informed them about his condition of Congestive Heart Failure, and if they were to put him into the WWE HOF, to do it soon, while he was still alive. WWE never got back to him.
"The Ruler Of The World".. Psycho Sid voice.... Loved his WWF entrances giving everyone a fist bump on his way to the ring even tho he was supposed to be the bad guy
Yeah, he is on a short list of people to have held the WWF and WCW title. Also a short list of people with multiple WrestleMania main events, which by the way he was only at two WrestleMania and main events both.
HBK as Thor, Ken Shamrock as Wolverine, Bret Hart as Cyclops, The Rock as Gladiator, Kurt Angle as Captain America, Hogan as Thanos, Sid as Sabertooth, Vader as Juggernaut, Yokozuna as The Blob, Austin as Red Skull, Mankind as Mr. Sinister, Boris Malenko as Omega Red, Ultimate Warrior as The Hulk, Vince McMahon as Dr. Doom, Triple H as Iron Man, Ric Flair as Magneto, Andre The Giant as Galactus, Kane as Master Mold, Undertaker as Apocalypse.
Sid was clearly eclipsing Hulk Hogan in every way during his first WWF run.. but they decided to turn him heel the WM8 match Hogan could be the babyface..
Man your comment brought back memories..i start watching wrestling in 97 because my grandma was sick and i had to stay with her in the house and sid vs shawn was the arc i started..sid looked like he was gonna kill shawn
@@loscoolarrows5903 I'm so sure they would simply ''dog walk them'' you never really hear about Kevin and Sid getting into a fight and that might be a good thing for the other party. I would probably safely say that Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley would dismantle Meng and Orndorff because that is another level of skill, not to mention the genetic qualities of those two. I hear stories about Meng but he it's always against drunks in a bar. Not saying he isn't some superhuman combat machine but back then Brock and Bobby weren't around.
@@loscoolarrows5903 LOL Meng is the biggest fake shit in the history of the industry. Same with Orndorff. Neither of those guys were anywhere near as tough as the stories made them out to be.
R.I.P Sid, but Sid was right he was more over as a heel. He was the original babyface heel, he paved the way for Stone Colds brutish bad guy hero bravado. That aside imagine pulling over a car and asking the people to step out of the vehicle to see Kevin Nash and Sid Eudy step out of the vehicle...
In person, when I bumped into him while living in Marion, Arkansas, Sid was a nice enough guy. Not the most outgoing human being on the planet, but fairly pleasant.
Sid had a great look, and fans always connected with him, but a legend tells it he liked playing softball more than wrestling. He had all the tools to be a wrestler except for the desire.
I get the impression HBK tries to sabotage the first powerbomb from Sid like he did with Diesel, so on the 2nd one, Sid just grabbed the tights and planted him lol
I always thought HBK fed Sid too much on the first powerbomb, and that Sid picked him up with too much momentum. Either way, it definitely looked cool on TV at the time. We were less cynical about botches back then.
@@BigBlack81 I could definitely see him do it too. I just hope they get the character right one day. Less mindless brute more cold blooded serial killer
I remember meeting you and Scott Hall after a Nitro in Charleston, West Virginia. By far, you are the coolest, most down to earth wrestler I've ever met. It was truly an honor.
It was Giant idea for the Powerbomb finish....Nash didn't want to do it because he knew Giant gained alot of weight. Last time Nash Powerbomb the Giant he 475 ish. And. buy Sold Out 98 he was over 550. Big difference, especially for a move like that. It was Nash idea to hit Giant with a low blow and the coffee to the face. And Nash & Giant practice that spot earlier that day and Nash said let's leave the Powerbomb out tonight. And Nash also said his back was killing him the later on that night after Sold Out ended.
@@l.d.1724 1) according to Show himself, he barely glanced 5-bills and that wasn’t until he was several years in at Titan Tower… when he came back for the Rumble and looked like an egg with legs, arms and no neck… When he was The Giant he was likely never over 400 even near the end 2) Hogan had Paul thinking that Nash did it on purpose but fatigue and sweat were the likeliest of culprits. Nash’s tank wasn’t always known to be deep depending on the tempo of the match, plus most of his career he was dealing with a messed up leg. Wights weight may have played ~a~ role, but there’s no chance that he was 500+ at the time, just like he isn’t actually 7’3 (7’) Andre wasn’t 7’4 or 7’6 (7’1) and Kane, Taker and Nash aren’t 7’ (6’9, 6’8 and 6’10 respectively from each of their own mouths) It was a bad accident but thankfully it didn’t end worse than it did for anyone, especially Big Show And Hogan was the same guy that told a young Undertaker that he dropped him on his head when there was a mile of open space even at normal speed, so I can see him trying to stir the pot with Nash and Show
Sid is definitely one of my all time favorites. His powerbomb was the best. Back in 2012 I was hoping he would get signed for one last run before he retired. He deserved that.
Was just gonna comment this! I watched Norton powerbombing Chavo on Nitro in 1997 just this morning. Norton is by far the most underrated and underutilized nWo member of all time; he was the ultimate enforcer- intimidating and loyal #4Life.
@@jaydubya1488 oh man I remember that one. Dude got whipped down at like 100mph lol. Poor Chavo. I think Norton shoulda been the one to end the streak. They gave him a little push that summer or the following summer against cruiser weighs, Hugh Morris and Ernest The Cat Miller. Hilarious stuff and he was so believable. He has 2 good matches against Goldberg. Really brought it to him and if Norton was on a hot streak he coulda been a very entertaining champ. He was 1 of the only 3 Americans to win the IWGP Heavyweight championship.
THANK YOU, Scott Norton never gets any talk, memory or respect it seems. That man in WCW / NWO was a BEAST. That dude looked like he could have broke you in half by looking at you. Totally never got the push he should have. Big, bad and mean af
Only real problem with sid was his stiffness and no-sell most of the time. He also made it too obvious when waiting for a spot. That always bothers me watching his matches - everything else was great. The entrance, the way sid took everybody up with ez for the powerbomb, lovely stuff.
Sid said he was trying to hurt Pilman because previously Pilman had refused to take the powerbomb, i.e. claims it wasn't an accidental botch. Although, if a dude is suspicious that you're gonna hurt him with a powerbomb, I think you're really just confirming his suspicions if you hurt him with a powerbomb. In Survivor Series 96, Sid gave HBK the most absurdly gentle powerbomb ever on the outside. Got his hands underneath Shawn's back and basically guided him slowly to the ground.
I don't know how accurate this is, but I heard that Sid's wife comes from a very wealthy family so Sid will sign up for these shows/appearances and then up and decide he just doesn't want to do it because he doesn't need the cash
Let's just say it this way. Sid Eudy was MONEY period...!!! He had the look, size, personality, everything going for him. And Kevin nailed it he was his own worse enemy. Would rather play softball then take the business and the position he could have had within it more seriously. Damn shame because i ALWAYS liked him. One of the better big man wrestlers. I thought he matched up well with Kevin when they went against each other.
Great look, size, played his character perfectly, loud pops, solid wrestler for a big man etc... Only weakness was lack of Mic skills, but the fact he had everything else. I think it can be overlooked. Still shocking he's not in the hall of fame. Especially when guys like the bushwackers and the barber beefcake are in. Him and Luger should be in. I get why Lex isn't, but never heard of Vince having beef with Sid.
Ironically the best powerbomb I think I saw Sid give was the one with Heath Slater on that raw YEARS after he was retired lmao Still Sid was great, showed my friends his match with Shawn at Survivor Series '96 and they were in love with him instantly hoping he'd win the match, and luckily for them that was his night haha
I've said numerous times online... When marvel was casting the sabertooth character ... Sid would have perfectly fit the character on sooo many levels !!
I was front row at a match back in 1990, Sid came out, the guy was MASSIVE!! I also got to play on an opposing football team to Paul Wright (Big Show). Thank God he didn't want to hurt anyone.
Nash and Sid are both 7 footers who made a lot of money in the business but who had some bad injuries. With Nash it was the quad issues and I remember that gruesome leg injury that Sid had when he came off the top rope toward the end of WCW.
I was months idle in 97 and Sid did the fist bump thing with me. I saw him in 92 at Sheffield Vs Taker. He was a massive guy back then. Met him a few years ago and he was a lovely guy as well. Still tall but definitely lost some since his 6’6 peak.
Ill tell ya something bruhther....you replace anything with softball, it doesn't matter, if you love doing it and you make it a priority, despite millions and potential superstardom....thats living brother good for him
I'd love to hear Kev's perspective on what it feels like from a mental standpoint or like what goes through your mind when you are taking a move like that but you are somebody who doesn't usually take such things because big guys don't typically get powerbombed night after night on a regular basis, it's a rarity. or like , you're the Giant and you're 500lbs and you never leave the ground and then someone like Goldberg comes along and hits you with the jackhammer and hold you up in midair for a second...i feel like something would trigger in your brain if you're 3-4-500lbs and all of a sudden you just get picked up and thrown around and you're like "what the FUCK! that ain't supposed to be possible"
The jackhammer was a joint effort of Goldberg being a freak and Wight at the time having the core strength and stability to go up in that position and hold it in place
Sid's powerbomb to Pilman was capital 'N' for nasty! I can sympathise with Shawn's reservations, despite the fact it's what they're paid to do! It's not an easy move to execute properly, or if the opponent is sand-bagging. For all of wrestling's kayfabe, it still looks a legit nasty move to take, on the receiving end of
What cheek to talk about Sid’s powerbomb when he botched one against the giant which looked ugly and brutal and the one to rey mysterio was not really taking care of colleague either
Sid was a tremendous heel for a long time. A type of heel that's lacking. Everyone goes ric flair heel. But near the end of WCW Sid was not the Steve Austin they wanted him to be
Physically perfect for the era. Wasn't best on the mic but could cut a 80s promo. Was a bigman who knew how to work as a big man. I get what he's saying but it's the same issue you deal with. Whenever expectations are not met. Who is really at fault? The one not meeting those expectations. Or those setting the expectations. I tend to give guys like him and Luger a pass. Also shows how special those guys are that can handle being "the man" for a company. Wait....he isn't in the HOF? So still haven't run out of job guys from the attitude era, I guess.
Marion, Indiana is m,y my old basically hometown. Really surprised Kevin even remembers that town. They used to have WWF in that town for really small shows a long time ago. Marion and Muncie.
Sid was getting cheered over Hogan in 91 and then Sid getting cheered over HBK in 1996. He was always destined to be a huge star, he just didn't want it.
My cousin was teaching karate in Indianapolis and he and some fellow instructors met the Nasty Boys and Sid at a bar. They jokingly challenged them to come to a karate session and they showed up! My cousin said the Nasty Boys were having fun with the lessons but Sid stayed kayfabe heel the entire time and scoffed at the karate instructors; my cousin challenged him, "why don't you try this?" But Sid scoffed again and walked off. That's how dedicated heel Sid was to this art, the guy is a legend!
Power bombs are the coolest move. Used to always make my signature move in those 90’s video games when I played with my little brother (RIP) the power bomb or super kick- sometimes the stunner (I changed it up). My little brother always was a Nash fan and did the big boot the the face or the power bomb. I was born in 89 and my brother 92 and we pretty much stopped watching wrestling around 2000 or 2001 but we really enjoyed those N64 games back then. I know when my brother was in the marines as infantry a lot of the kids were still into the stuff and he often rolled his eyes but we were pretty into the whole shibang as kids and so he chimed in at times.
I LOVED Sid. There was just a believability factor about him. Huge, muscular, weird ass but just screaming promos. To me he was always money, even as a kid watching
Damn right
WHO’S THE MAN?
Truly the embodiment of what a professional wrestler should be; huge, intense, great ring presence.
As a kid, he was the one wrestler I got scared listening to lol like I truly believed whatever he was angry about 😂
@Steve M especially when he said "because I rule the world!" Lol.
Sid was the perfect package just as mentioned, the sheer size, the traps, the intro music, intensity, the crowds ate it up
Legit, the traps, the height, the tall black boots meeting right up to the black kneepads.. the dude looked like a super villain.
Especially 92 Sid. From a package point of view Sid had “it”.
Sid during his initial WWF run though was insane looking, he probably had the best tone to his muscles in the attitude era but he was a real monster.
Especially when he turned on Hogan when they were fighting Flair and Undertaker
RIP Sid. Inexcusable that they didn’t induct him into the HoF while he was still alive.
Im sure he'll get in now.
Vader actually contacted the company about 3 or 4 times. He informed them about his condition of Congestive Heart Failure, and if they were to put him into the WWE HOF, to do it soon, while he was still alive. WWE never got back to him.
@@alanguages Damn.
Sid is easily HOF worthy. I always saw Sid as a star. His injury from wcw was the most brutal injury I remember seeing throughout my childhood.
"The Ruler Of The World".. Psycho Sid voice.... Loved his WWF entrances giving everyone a fist bump on his way to the ring even tho he was supposed to be the bad guy
It's laughable that he isn't in the Hall. Especially looking at some of the other "top stars" that are already in.
Yeah, he's easily a HOF'er... Bet he'll be inducted soon
He’s going into the Softball Hall of Fame
Yeah, he is on a short list of people to have held the WWF and WCW title. Also a short list of people with multiple WrestleMania main events, which by the way he was only at two WrestleMania and main events both.
As a kid, Sid was easily one of my favourites. So believable.
Are you serious? I must have half the brain that you do.
True... he was a monster
Very
Sid would have been perfect to play Sabertooth in an X-Men or Wolverine movie.
Said that exact thing for years. ESP from mid 90s Texiera Wolverine
Ironically the guy that played Sabretooth in the first X-Men was Nash's old partner Tyler Mane.
@@rl318 I used to think that was Test from the WWE until I found out later who really played Sabertooth.
HBK as Thor, Ken Shamrock as Wolverine, Bret Hart as Cyclops, The Rock as Gladiator, Kurt Angle as Captain America, Hogan as Thanos, Sid as Sabertooth, Vader as Juggernaut, Yokozuna as The Blob, Austin as Red Skull, Mankind as Mr. Sinister, Boris Malenko as Omega Red, Ultimate Warrior as The Hulk, Vince McMahon as Dr. Doom, Triple H as Iron Man, Ric Flair as Magneto, Andre The Giant as Galactus, Kane as Master Mold, Undertaker as Apocalypse.
@ R L always thought he was great when I saw him in the first X-Men movie.
Sid for the hall of fame for sure
Sid admitted that he has a half of a brain that takes stones to admit it
Sid is in my top five of all time. People are too hard on him. Shawn vs Sid rivalry is epic from 1997
Sid was clearly eclipsing Hulk Hogan in every way during his first WWF run.. but they decided to turn him heel the WM8 match Hogan could be the babyface..
Not the greatest worker but a perpetual star and multiple world title holder
Man your comment brought back memories..i start watching wrestling in 97 because my grandma was sick and i had to stay with her in the house and sid vs shawn was the arc i started..sid looked like he was gonna kill shawn
While I am surprised at someone saying Sid is top 5 all time, I always really liked Sid so with a 2nd thought I don't question it :)
Preach
Can you imagine seeing Kevin and Sid in their prime getting out a car? Holy crap.
Had to have been a truck or van!
And a guy like meng or orndorff would dogwalk em in a fight. May be scripted but some of those wrestlers are tough tough

I ran into Sid at an ECW show during his cup of coffee there, just a massive man. Like walking next to a moving statue from antiquity. Huge and solid.
The Sid/HBK feud was some of my favorite televison as a kid.
I get the impression HBK tries to sabotage the first powerbomb from Sid like he did with Diesel, so on the 2nd one, Sid just grabbed the tights and planted him lol
That second powerbomb on HBK was picture perfect.

@roccoz2231 that's what *really* happened of you look closely. Shawn clearly went up with too mich momentum
Sid looked amazing with the Jerry curl, and square chin.
Sid should be in the HOF..
He should have been a top 10 heel of all time
Sid legit scared the shit outta me as a child. I remember i couldn't sleep one night after Raw thinking he might show up and kill my family 😂
🤣🤣
Yep, I was scared shitless

Apt comparison.

I remember meeting you and Scott Hall after a Nitro in Charleston, West Virginia. By far, you are the coolest, most down to earth wrestler I've ever met. It was truly an honor.
Sid is my favorite softball player
Worst power bomb you gave was against the giant. When he accidentally landed on his neck. Im glad for both of you he wasn't seriously injured.
The Giant gained like 50 pounds. Kevin didn't have a problem executing the move before
500lbs about and could barely wrap his arms around him
Giant’s belly at the time prevented the Giant from fully rotating
It was Giant idea for the Powerbomb finish....Nash didn't want to do it because he knew Giant gained alot of weight. Last time Nash Powerbomb the Giant he 475 ish.

I have never popped harder for a wrestling return than when Sid randomly showed up and killed Heath Slater in like 2012. Been a fan since '87.
The Giant gained a lot of weight Nash was very gentle and safe with his jackknife powerbomb
Sid is still my favorite wrestler after all these years!
Only real problem with sid was his stiffness and no-sell most of the time. He also made it too obvious when waiting for a spot. That always bothers me watching his matches - everything else was great. The entrance, the way sid took everybody up with ez for the powerbomb, lovely stuff.
He may have been the worst at telegraghing his spots but outside of that he was without much doubt the man.
I had never heard the Chris Sabin story before. Very interesting.
If everyone knows the story behind Brian Pillman , Sid did that on purpose
Some people call him justice...others call him vicious...I just calll him Sid! - Shawn Michaels
I liked those powerbombs Sid did on HBK, I remember thinking it was brutal as a kid.
I agree. No idea what the emailer is talking about. They looked better than the WM11 one.
Sid to me was the true Master and ruler of the world 🌎
I cheered for sid in 91-92 and 96. Loved sid

There is nobody who went through late 80's and 90's wrestling who didn't think Sid was the best heel. He had the pure aggression expected.

What cheek to talk about Sid’s powerbomb when he botched one against the giant which looked ugly and brutal and the one to rey mysterio was not really taking care of colleague either
RIP TO THE LEGENDARY SID VICIOUS!!!!
Sid was a tremendous heel for a long time. A type of heel that's lacking. Everyone goes ric flair heel. But near the end of WCW Sid was not the Steve Austin they wanted him to be
If they'd made an X-Men movie in the late 80's or early 90's, Sid would've made an awesome Sabretooth.
Physically perfect for the era. Wasn't best on the mic but could cut a 80s promo. Was a bigman who knew how to work as a big man. I get what he's saying but it's the same issue you deal with. Whenever expectations are not met. Who is really at fault? The one not meeting those expectations. Or those setting the expectations. I tend to give guys like him and Luger a pass. Also shows how special those guys are that can handle being "the man" for a company.
Wait....he isn't in the HOF? So still haven't run out of job guys from the attitude era, I guess.
Hi Kevin and Sean. Power bombs ohhhhh
he was amazing in the ring to watch he made the people in the arena and on the screen captivated and glued legit seemed crazy scary
Sid was one of the few bad guys who was actually scary
Marion, Indiana is m,y my old basically hometown. Really surprised Kevin even remembers that town. They used to have WWF in that town for really small shows a long time ago. Marion and Muncie.
Sid was getting cheered over Hogan in 91 and then Sid getting cheered over HBK in 1996. He was always destined to be a huge star, he just didn't want it.
LoL I remember watching that when Sid turned on Shawn Michaels and I remember thinking back then that 2 of the 3 powerbombs were Awful 😄
RIP Sid
Sid should have been in the HoF ten years ago. Vader should have been in earlier as well.
My cousin was teaching karate in Indianapolis and he and some fellow instructors met the Nasty Boys and Sid at a bar. They jokingly challenged them to come to a karate session and they showed up! My cousin said the Nasty Boys were having fun with the lessons but Sid stayed kayfabe heel the entire time and scoffed at the karate instructors; my cousin challenged him, "why don't you try this?" But Sid scoffed again and walked off. That's how dedicated heel Sid was to this art, the guy is a legend!
Fair play to Kevin saying he gave the worse power bomb and not passing it on
Power bombs are the coolest move. Used to always make my signature move in those 90’s video games when I played with my little brother (RIP) the power bomb or super kick- sometimes the stunner (I changed it up).
My little brother always was a Nash fan and did the big boot the the face or the power bomb.
I was born in 89 and my brother 92 and we pretty much stopped watching wrestling around 2000 or 2001 but we really enjoyed those N64 games back then.
I know when my brother was in the marines as infantry a lot of the kids were still into the stuff and he often rolled his eyes but we were pretty into the whole shibang as kids and so he chimed in at times.
I always had a soft spot for Sid. Man what a look
Sid was always one of my favorites
I had to dig that Wargames powerbomb up on youtube ... jfc how'd that not kill Pillman? 😮😂😂🤣
Sid was so dope when i was a kid. Also met Nash years ago. COOLEST wrestler I’ve ever met.
Sid was a family man, he put his family before wrestling unlike so many others and good for him.
Nash’s STTB (stoned to the Bone) stories are hilarious!
Sid is THE HALL OF FAME!
Greatest HEEL EVER!
Hillbilly Voice: I think you need a Big Vicious Heel.
He was legit one of the first tweeners , was a heel that everyone loved
Shawn Sandbagged SIDS power bomb
Love Nash straight up real mfer
I loved Sid with the 4 Horsemen. Him and Flair complimented each others persona so well.
he had the best powerbomb in the business. Sid was the master of the powerbomb
SID JUST NEEDED THE RIGHT PEOPLE AROUND Him to get him where he needed to be ⚡💥
