It's weird to see Sid look like a grandfather. He was a comic book monster back in the day.
@Kapiche' 😂🤣
True that, Mr. Borelli😂😂
Perfect Sabretooth.
That’s life huh… it’s crazy
Thats life
I think Sid comes off as a nice and honest guy, whenever I see his interviews.
Aside Friday when he tried to purposely injure Pillman during War Games
From what I’ve heard Sullivan had Benoit get the title as an olive branch towards the radicals, but it didn’t work so they had the insurance policy of Sid putting his foot under the ropes.
I think sid is a class act!
Some people who have met him say he's one of the nicest guys in the business
@@albreal He really appears to be; I consider myself a pretty good judge of character, and from what I've seen, he's a pretty good dude.
Sid handled that like a class act. Sid was quite the gentleman and spoke very eloquently and honestly on the subject of depression. He's one cool guy.
misterpackratia
Yes, I agree. He does an excellent interview.
I agree, even though he has half the brain that you do.
So why is he being interviewed in a tweeker’s basement? Lol.
I kind of don't think Benoit would have lost a job in WWE, I think they would have kept him for a backstage role or a coach or something.
I mean your right if he would cross face his own kid... I ain't bout to fire him and get that toothless aggression on me I'd call jericho and get him to let me borrow ralphus for security
But is that something
As nice as Sid looks and talks, I’m still scared he’s going to rip me in half 😂
Crack a joke as he laughs then kick to the mid section and powerbomb.
Wow I always thought that Sid was just a hyped up A* Hole with not a lot going on upstairs. However after watching all your videos on this interview and this segment in particular instantly changed my mind. He seems to understand and recognize a lot more emotional type stuff then I would have thought. He recognized depression and seems to be sympathetic twords it. I have battled depression most of my adult life and Sid just showed me that he can be a good guy. It instantly made me a fan and admirer of his.
Yeah, Sid is a cool guy. He could work too. He was never a superstar but he had a few good runs.
sid's cerebral type imo. quiet/loner, southerner
Sid rules
They drafted him to ECW to enhance the brand and make him the champion there.They wanted him to work with the guys there to make them better.I can see why people see going to that brand as a demotion.He really needed to be better utilized on the other shows.Besides his in ring years were slowly coming to a cross road and that was a small part of what happened.And the group of guys quit the company and were let out of their contracts in WCW.Sid might of heard Benoit was fired but that was not the case,he knew going into that match he was probably going to leave.He had no faith in Sullivan who he had personal issues with who promised he would push him and Chris just did not buy it.
Sid was an absolute machine back in the day. Its quite refreshing seeing him so humble and polite. Definitely one of the greats.
people dont see the other side of wrestling it burns you out in so many ways this why you must only do it if you truely love it just like Chris did. RIP to Chris
Sid is right. Even Benoit himself thought he was done being sent to WWECW. He was worried about his spot in the company.
it was a ritual sacrifice. watch Benoits entrance video.
He definitely thought he was done being a main event guy. Going to ECW acting as champion then putting guys over.
Regardless, Chris Benoit was an over achiever in this business anyway. He was 5'8 220 lb technical wrestler that couldn't carry a story on the mic. He might have been successful on the Indy's or in Japan but he was never going to draw money long term in the WWE in the presence of casual wrestling fans who want character based entertainment.
@@1981CrueHead Damm good comment! 💯
Sid belongs on king of the hill
Actually no, Chris was offered a job as a producer for WWE in late 2006.Vince knew that Chris was almost ready to hang up his boots, but wanted to keep him around. This was confirmed by his son David, in an interview with chris Van Vilet. Chris refused it, as he wan't ready to retire. Also Chris was actually supposed to win the World heavyweight championship in 2006 after batista's injury, however he didn't take it, as he wanted Chavo Guerreo to win it, due to the passing of his uncle Eddie. Chavo ending up giving the push to Rey instead. Also Chris was set to Win the ECW championship at vengeance, Vince wanted to make ECW a big brand, which they would have accomplished with Benoit, had he not passed. So no, Vince had nothing but respect for Chris Benoit.
He and Nancy were also setting up a wrestling School under his name. They had all the funds and were ready to go. The doctor that prescribed him medication was locked up after the fact, for selling steroids. He also overprescribed the Benoits with Xanax, a drug known to make you numb. And now catch this: The Benoits had a platter of food gifted to them the day that Benoit was supposed to show up. Daniel was supposedly throwing up from it, so he wanted to get him to the hospital, which he told Chavo on the phone, who said Chris sounded groggy. The indication is, that the food was laced with drugs, probably rohybnol, which would completely explain why no traces of it were found anywhere.
Going to ECW the 3rd and least watched brand was definitely a demotion.
chet michael More money than Big Daddy V? Whoopty doo. Did Mundo or Punk get more dough?
chet michael Nobody in the mainstream ever heard of Benoit til he killed his family. Being ECW champ was about like being the NBA G League champion.
chet michael Not it didn't.
Henry Robles Would've been fucked up if he showed up at the ppv with his wife/child in his house decomposing
HarleyFace He tried to show up. He called WWE about a plane ticket and even made up an alibi.
Fantastic thanks for the great videos great to watch ⌚️ and listen 👂 too
Sid's battle against Benoit was excellent. They both worked pretty well together.
Chilling words to note here from Sid are;
'He was a gentleman, on a second thought.. no he was a monster as well.'
chris didnt kill his family!!! he was set up!!!
Superb interview
Thanks for these uploads! I love Sid to death and it's cool to hear him speak his mind out about all this random stuff. He said it like it is: depression can lead a man to do the unthinkable! I'm the sort of guy to say it, hands down, cause i've been there. Depression has taken me to Hell and back, and made me take decisions i wouldn't otherwise take. But mostly, if i ever hurt anyone while at it, it was just *myself!* Never did it cross my mind to force others to pay for my own agony. Again, though, i'm not one to judge. A man's mind is like Humpty Dumpty and can fall either side sometimes. Only Chris would know what made him do what he did, and that answer he took to the grave.
This guy has fought at WrestleMania twice and both matches were in the main event.
I've always liked Sid so I might be biased, but I think he comes across really well in this interview - down to earth, honest, and laid back.
People need to go watch Sid's run in the WWF from 1995- 97. Go watch his match with Shawn Michaels from the '96 Survivor Series for the Strap. I know shawn Michaels can have a match with anybody but im not just talking about the match and its a great match Sid does his part, but literally he is so freaking over with that crowd! People loved him everybody was fist bumping him and he got a huge pop! He was so popular as a babyface around this time I think if Bret would have accepted his role and the fact it was time to let others hold the WWF title and not just him dominate that Sid could have had alot longer more meaningful title runs well into the Attitude Era. Sid could work he knew his character and yes he could cut a promo and he was so freaking over man dont listen to the stupid smart marks who havent even done the research go back and watch he was so over with the fans people loved him! People love to play over and over again Sid's promo that he messes up with kevin nash on nitro and the one where he didnt know it was live and him breaking his leg in 2001. People go back and watch this mans great career and you will see one of the truly great athletic big man ever! Also recommend his two WWF Title matches in 1995 when he challenged Diesel at two of the In Your Houses that year. Also people need to get off kevin nashs back I mean Nash could work with anybody he knew what he could do and did it well. No more rambling go check out Sid you wont regret it!
jpdesertrunner dam right! Imagine him fueding with austin, rock,Sid was the original over heal (maybe Vader a lil bit to
jpdesertrunner well said sir.
Sid was great!
Sid was definitely super over at that time. I watched all that stuff recently and he definitely was. Crowd popped for him a lot and like you say they were all fist bumping him. He fit his gimmick perfectly really, really had that big psycho look with his intense eyes.
👍👍👍
Why do I get the feeling tjatost of the stuff people say about Sid is not true. He seems super honest and you know people were jealous of his look and natural intensity. He never really buries anyone maliciously or over hypes himself.
Central Illinois Morel Hunters John Asbury try to watch some more of his interviews. He is very passive-aggressive. This is a guy who has done more harm than good in wrestling. From no-showing events, to butchering promos to the point where the other people involved in the promo are laughing at him, to trying to make Arn Anderson even more manly by giving him some more scars through stabbing him multiple times...this guy is a train wreck. Good riddance.
Justino Buscapé Absolutely...I think a lot of his fans that are on these boards defending Sid regardless of the horrible shit he's saying aren't being able to look beyond their fond childhood memories of him, Sid's got a horrible track record, he's a piece of shit, if you want to enjoy and appreciate the entertainment value he brought you that's fine, but get over yourselves making excuses for him, Sid's an asshole
chet michael You go around posting on Benoit vid's "I love you Chris Benoit RIP". Being obsessed with and admitting you love some big muscle bound guy's in spandex you've never met is really gay.
Its funny you guys are calling him passive aggressive (which he may be) but you obviously didn't catch what he was saying about what the business does to people and how a guy who looks so polite and together did the things he did.
I remember as a kid, I was legit scared that Sid might accidentally rip somebody's head off when he started using the Crippler Crossface
could listen to sid all day long
Benoit was not losing his job. He was getting paid more in 07 than ever
No he was. WWE actually had heard rumors of his home life and and starting to get cold feet. Sid is correct
wow after watching this guy in my youth my outlook on Sid has changed dramatically after watching this clip.
about to lose his job?! They were putting the ECW belt on Benoit that night...
That is the equivalent of a tootsieroll pop ring to any oftheeaw smackdown belts
The truth is: we are all monsters waiting to snap. Figure it out before you do.
I still remember when Sid broke his leg while in WCW. That was one of the most upsetting and horrible things I saw when I watched wrestling.
The last WWE event I went to was a Smackdown in 2003, main event was Chris Benoit vs Kurt Angle.. It doesn't bother me that I haven't been to a live event since..The best years to be a Wrestling fan was 1996-2003. Coincidentally the same exact years a Stone Cold Steve Austin was active
Talks honest. Sid is genuine
He is! 💯
Any word on the Crossface movie? Last I heard anything about it was a year ago when Lexi Alexander was signed to direct. Nothing since then.
apparently it will rls next year, but u know it will prob be a stv (straight to video).
I'm not defending Benoit in any way, BUT do you think after performing SO MANY something Diving Headbutts...missing them a lot too, could that have helped caused it?
Yeah really,that would fuck anybody's head up.He tried that of the top of the cage on angle and missed.Of course he had brain damage
Plenty of people have brain damage they don't kill their wife and kid
@@paulramon5891 Yeah but brain damage wasn't all there was to it.Benoit had been on steroids since he first started wrestling.Harley Race tried warning wrestlers not to use the diving headbutt because it messes up your spine.Listen to MVP interviews about how Benoit like to use ectsay almost every night.Plus he hit on Nancy and she claimed Sullivan hit on her and that's why she left him.Who the hell knows honestly,losing his two best friends Eddie Guerrero and Johnny Grunge didn't help matters.
@@shaunsmith7928 You learned all that on the Vice documentry so stop trying to talk like you know what's going on🙄!
@@lmuriilo5803 No that's just common sense idiot
I always wondered why suddenly WCW had Sid regularly doing the crippler crossface in matches after a brief period where Sid and Benoit were fellow babyfaces!!!!!
I doubt Benoit was about to get fired.Vince wanted certain guys there.He sent Kurt there.
Chris Benoit along with other wrestlers knew that WWE's future plans were to go PG. If he hadn't done what he did, he would have been released or quit shorter after and most likely would've went to TNA, wrestling with Kurt Angle and AJ Styles... Fuck that would've been good!
SID VICIOUS SHOULD RETURN POWERBOMBER THESE PG ERA CANDY ASS ???
Andrew Flood he came back for one night in 2012
Chris was never getting fired by been put in ECW. He was probably the most respected wrestler in the locker room with undertaker. Even if Vince did fire him, he would be in huge problems with the other wrestlers, there would of been likely a huge revolt
Stop they didn't fire him, his contract was up lol
He said chris was about to be fired even though the night he was found dead he was supposed to win the ECW title
Yeah I don’t think he was going to be fired, he was supposed to face cm punk and win the ECW championship, he was sent to ECW to help build the brand
Sid is a cool cat!!!
I take back all ignorant prejudices I had toward this man.
Nothing but respect for Sid
Sid Vicious was a Problem back in the day. Damn near 300 lbs of Muscle at 6’10”. Crazy.
wow i never would have thought Sid had this ammount of intellect! very nice! real genuine down to earth guy! thanks! for uploading! the vid! : )
I thought the same thing when he killed himself and his family. The writing was on the wall and I think they were getting ready to fire Chris Benoit. On top of everything else that was going on in his personal life he just snapped. It's still hard to talk about Chris Benoit.
Why would they fire him though? He was so over.
Shiver not really. He was kinda boring. He was a good midcard guy. But his time at the top was over. He was getting old they had to make room for new wrestlers. Gotta remember this was before WWE was heavily relying on part timers. If Benoit was still around they would have brought him back.
Orlando Daniel Perez Doubt it or at least not when he died. He was pretty much about to retire and he had plans for it. He was going to have one last run with the ECW title along with being the face of the WWE’s ECW for awhile and putting over the new stars. WWE’s plan for ECW was to have Benoit and Punk leading it which sounds pretty great but yeah, it couldn’t happen. He wasn’t boring at all but I think his time was almost up as a wrestler. Then of course, he’d most likely come back during the part time era where people would be asking him to be in some dream matches.
V intelligent comments from Sidney there xx
All ways liked big sid man that was the good old days.
Sids a class act
It looks like Sid can still knock the TF out of someone
As opposed to Sid Justice or Psycho Sid, here he comes across as very matter of fact, well spoken and very polite about himself as well as the entire Chris Benoit deal. It's refreshing to hear an interview like this.
I like Sid. Seems like a good guy
Good point.
Now that I think about Sid’s view of size and pro wrestling it’s funny to me. I’ve always agreed to the notion of pro wrestlers having to be “larger than life” but in real life combatants and competitors come in all sizes and weight classes.
I'm used to seeing Sid whisper or yell, and do nothing inbetween. This is different for me.
Sid is a class act!
Pretty sure Benoit was gonna win the ECW championship... don't think he was getting fired
That's The Rifleman
This didn’t age well Chris and Eddie was definitely bigger stars than Sid ever was.
Awesome interview
Benoit was supposedly going to ECW to help build up the newer guys like he had done with smackdown in 02 because the ECW originals had all been fired pretty much. I think only Van Dam was left and Big show had taken time off. I don't think it had been a demotion.
Fuera bueno que lo traduscan al español en subtitulo
I've never heard any of this. I though the consensus was WCW put the title on Chris as a last ditch effort to keep him and he still left. There was no firing
Internet Tough Guy well it just so happens that sid is full of shit.
@@Laura-pi1gv sounds like someone bullshitted sid and he believed it haha, what does he gain from lying in this interview? :\
@@themightychinful idk, they liked bullying the "vanilla midgets" anyway. Lied their way to the top so i'm sure he won't mind making stuff up for an interview.
Getting his notice? Dude he had a fucking ecw championship match at the upcoming ppv
Why would WWE at that time want to fire or terminate Chris Benoits contract? He was still over and having great matches. The one thing was he was struggling because of Eddie Guerrero's death which is totally normal since they were best friends.
Sid was scary back then he was believable as a Psycho Sid irl he is even tempered and very respectable
See a lot of hate thrown Sids way but he does come across as pretty genuine, i get the impression he isnt the same man he was 20 years ago. Like someone else said, he seems like he has matured with age and is able to reflect with honesty. Always hard to tell though, dont know the guy and was not involved in anything he talks about.
I never heard that that once they Shuffle you around from business-to-business Company the company that mean they're about to get rid of you I thought they was just trying to use you and every brand because you was a good commodity but this is the first time I ever had that it was a possibility that he was about to get fired and he will be one of the main ones that I would never think we'll get fired because to me he was the best wrestler that was out there's a lot of good wrestlers but he was very stoic on to his business
Abdullah the butcher and Sid are that only wrestlers that scared me .....
Sid seems like a simple fella.
so... whodathunk it? psycho sid... all things considered, pretty level headed guy
Brock married Sable didn't he, and she was married to Marc Mero, same with Karen Jarrett who was married to Kurt Angle prior to Jeff Jarrett, taboo much ?
lol brock does whatever he wants, karen angle was just a slag
When he said that Benoit has a couple tryouts before making it is not true. He had one tryout in the mid 90s and they offered him a contract but he wanted to wrestle in Japan part time and wwf but Vince didn’t allow it. So he turned down the contract
I honestly don't think neither you nor Sid know of every detail in Benoit's career. So if the details are a little off, it doesn't take away from what he was saying.
I never forget when he snapped his leg 😳
Yeah that shit was crazy 😜
Not so psycho. He is great. Always have been...
Wow a petition to get rid of Sullivan. This is the 2nd shoot where I've heard this about K Sullivan in relation to him being a bad booker/story writer.
Sid has always been one of my favorites since I started watching wrestling! He said it perfect about what benoit did. Gee I wonder how he has that kind of insight? Because he was a wrestler and knows how the business works!
"He was always nice to me" say the guys that outweighed him by 80 pounds.
That's not true, Chris was set to get a major push and win the ecw title. But he did believe that going to ecw was a downgrade and it made him mad
The ECW belt was a joke. And they'd only put the belt on him so that he could drop it to a CM Punk or a John Morrison and get them over. He knew his time there was limited.
another view of what went down with Chris Benoit from someone so soft spoken, nobody will ever really know
I don’t think Chris was about to get his notice but I do think he was about to get phased out. Personally, I found Chris boring. He couldn’t draw on his own- he needed guys like Eddie, Angle and Jericho to do them drawing. He was great in the ring but it depended who he was working with. He definitely wasn’t on the level of Eddie, Angle, Jericho, HBK etc
Psycho Sid had the best botched promos!
This puts it into a lot more context, a lot of ppl are saying steroids this and he snapped or whatever, I think if he was going to get released, and he went from world champ to a mockery of ecw, for a guy who lived and breathed the business that couldnt have gone well, esp considering eddie and everything else, if nancy threatened to leave him then maybe he figured it would be better off being gone than being a shell of himself, I cant say it forgives what he did or that it excuses him from it, I'll always be of heymans sentiment, he still had a choice, and he killed 2 innocent ppl rather than just himself
Sid was always cool with me. but I can tell you the boys riled him up too about pay they were getting and even lying just to work him up. IMO Sid, like Luger, Warrior, Goldberg, Brock Lesnar saw wrestling as a way to easy money and were never fans of the business as kids. That passion to perform is missing in all of them.
I always thought syd was just a big dummy, but he makes a lot of sense here
I like physics wrestler like him,Sean o'haire,test,Young Hogan tall and strong...Plus Goldberg nearly perfect
He talks well now i wonder about that promo i got half the brain that u do lol
Everything sid said was wrong. Benoit has a tryout in the early 90s when he was wrestling in Japan and he was offered a contract but turned it down cause he wanted to keep wrestling in Japan and Vince said he couldn’t
Very trivial tidbit considering they were discussing why a guy would kill his wife and child. But thanks for sharing.
Chris was definitely not going anywhere, after WWE went PG in 08 they had a drought of new talent and a lot of talent leave for a short while, I think he easily would've stayed in the main event/upper mid-card for a few years before retiring or being let go. Considering they put the world title on guys like Khali, Mark Henry and Christian I think Christ would've probably held the world title at least once more.
I wouldnt see it as demotion but I get what he means. I reckon benoit was send down to ecw to do what kurt angle should of done back 06. Be world champion and help put over the younger talent, which he did with mvp, lashley and punk. Plus give the ecw brand a legit accomplish star that's why I think kurt and benoit was sent there but going there didnt help them either.
I think Sid provides a kind take on this here but his facts are off. Chris and the rest of those guys got their releases. Sullivan booked Benoit to beat Sid as a show of good faith and to try and alleviate his paranoia that he’d be treated unfairly with Sullivan as the booker. They had Sid put his foot under the rope because they weren’t sure if it would work out so they made sure they had some kind of out if the conflict continued anyways. While his career in ring was naturally coming to its end in the near future, which probably was hard for a guy who had never held any job other than being a wrestler and had been an active wrestler for 22 years, his son and Nancy’s sister spoke on the transition plan post wrestling that was starting to be put into motion as he was going to open a wrestling school and they’d even made some merch for it. But the move to ECW wasn’t him getting his walking papers at all. He was transitioning to ECW after a long title run with the US Title that he dropped to a young star in MVP, and this was at the time where the WWE US title wasn’t meaningless like it became and was held by solid guys still, and was slated to win the ECW world title at that PPV that weekend which has been confirmed by multiple people in the WWE and was going to help elevate those guys. Who knows how much longer there truly was left but with how respected he was in the industry he wasn’t out of a job.
Benoit wasn’t fired. He won the belt that night and he went to the back and threw it in the garbage and quit
Why would he even bother winning the belt?
Does this guys fucking leg still work... Yikes
Sid is human 😊
Zip zip
Wasn’t brain damage or steroids…it was a man who was backed into a corner by his wife and employer…he did this shit over a 3 day period…it wasn’t like Benoit didn’t know what he was doing…there’s mfs killing their spouses every single day out here and the loss of the only guy he talked too in Eddie didn’t help either…his kid is where it gets tricky and confusing…my only explanation with that is that he didn’t want his kid to grow up hating him so he took him with him too…Benoit was a freak show and he showed it on the last weekend of his life…not to mention the career choice he chose didn’t help his cause with the constant traveling and the constant pressure…he felt like nobody was on his side his wife hated him his boss was about to fire him and his best friend died years before…he just snapped end of story
He wasn't getting his notice? Him going to ECW was a sign of respect of him teaching the newer guys
Sid needs to be Hof 1 of the greatest!
even if he had half the brain that i do he seems legit
i got that lol
