Sid was the only person to seriously sell The Shockmaster fiasco live. He's a pro in my book
Greatest promo ever😅😅😅
His recovering from his fall was very pro. He went right back into character
💯
Damn. Wtf. I literally typed the same analogy 😅
@@tomadjarm3302THATS your fav CId moment? Seriously??
Sid’s entrance at Survivor Series 96 at MSG is legendary. “Who’s the man!?”
“You the man!” 👊
One of the best!
His best match and moment
That was great..well,I liked Wm 8 entrance too...
Shawn's reaction to the MSG crowd was priceless 😂 Sid was soooo over it was unreal.The Alpha Wolf in the WWF.
Rip Sid
Who's here after sid Passed away 🙏🏽
Me too
Sid is the only wrestler I ever met face to face. First of all,,, he is a monster, but that monster was one of the most gracious, soft spoken, funniest people I have ever met. That night he was to wrestle Vader. Someone asked how much Vader weighed?,, and Sid replied 460 pounds. The same person asked Sid what was the most he ever lifted? Sid replied,,,, 460 Pounds!
Classic!
I got to say hi to Sid mid workout at Patera's Fitness Emporium, I have met a fair amount of wrestlers and had great seats to be near them, I use to hang out at the same bars as the Kansas City Chiefs. I have never seen a person like Sid, as tall as a basketball player and built like a linebacker, absolute monster.
I agree. Met many wrestlers and Sid is right at the top of the list in terms of how friendly he was.
Yea when I met him he was very friendly. Even pulled out a bigger picture to sign than the ones on the desk.
@Stingray 1975 That reminds me of the line in Rocky III when Rocky asks Mickey how much he thought Thunderlips(Hogan) ate. Mickey says "About 202 pounds". Then the ring announcer(LeRoy Niemann) announces Rocky's weight as 202 pounds. Rocky stares at Mickey who has this devilish grin. So funny!!

That was a good one. Ol Mick always had good ribs.
I’m just glad there’s other Sid fans in this comment section. He was so damn charismatic. His world title wins at Survivor Series 1996 is one of my favorite moments ever.
Most people would agree he deserved the push over Vader to get a run with HBK's title for awhile.
@@fmthebaron Vader wasn’t the same in WWE, even before the awful booking.
He saved the Shock Master entrance.
He was legit scary AF too. Top 5 legitimately scary wrestlers imho.
Sid was more over than Hogan and HBK when he feuded with them. If he politicked like those guys did he would have been one of the biggest stars of all time.
Sid is a legend.
Ya a softball legend
@@MikeWrecka99what’re you talking about?
duh. And?
Should be in the hof
Absolutely 💯
Sid was great. The fans loved him 95-97 in WWF.
He was popular but wasn’t the best wrestler and neither was nash hogan warrior etc
@@dantecarroll2435hulk is the GOAT
@@marcbasil no he's not in order to be considered a goat you have to be a great wrestler which he wasn't all he knew how to do was pose
@@dantecarroll2435 No one was more over in the WWF than Sid when he won his first title from Shawn Michaels in '96
@@johnnybeefum when will marks stop using wrestling terms like being over why can’t you say that he was very popular
Sid looked legit monstrous. Loved that guy.
Exactly, immediately believeable
I cannot imagine having to fight that guy.
6'9 for christs sake
6'9 and JACKED with very little body fat... a monster.
After finding out of Sid's passing I came here right away to say much love and respect to Kevin and my condolences to Sid's family and friends. Thank you so much sid for all the great memories ❤ God bless 🙏
I love Kevin's take because that's how I always felt. Who is to tell a dude that knew his value, and knew he could make his money AND have a life outside the ring, that he wasn't ALLOWED, and it was OWED that he take bumps over 300 days a year?
I love Sid! He was unique!
Everyone does. And?
Same I find him hilarious
Don’t…call me…psycho.
@@Brhoward31 "ah shit i fucked up can we do it again?" "Sid we're live!"
I remember a story which made me love Sid and really reminded me of Nash and Hall.
Sid said he was being punished for something in wcw, they said you are on first and will be squashed by Steiner in 2 minutes, he said great i get paid as much as if its a 30 min title match and got to go home early.
Steiner was insanely over & is the GOAT heel
I saw a video for Sid talked about this and it was Lex Luger and not Steiner.
He got over everywhere he went. When he returned to WCW and had that undefeated run as a monster heel, then feuded with Goldberg, people were invested in all that. I still remember the night after their big PPV match, when he suddenly turned face and teamed up with Goldberg...huge pop from the crowd!
He wanted time off to enjoy his activities. Everyone knows it’s softball for Sid. Respect to him.
The “ half the brain you do” promo is the greatest thing ever….especially Kev an Scott laughing in the ring…….I watch it often…..it’s the best thing on Al Gores internet.
Sid's random maniacal laughs were legendary
you are legendary as well
I can't believe Sid isn't in the hall of fame
Me too so not fair
He's too busy playing softball
But booker t wife and Bellas are in there
And now he passed away
When I was a young 10 year old boy, I read the WWF Magazine. He was asked his favorite fast food. He said: McDonalds Quarter Pounder W/cheese. Love Sid…
Sid was one of my favorite wrestlers of all time. The scariest looking big man to ever do it. I don't mean scary as in a scary gimmick. I mean as in, if you lined up all the big men in the industry he looks like the meanest nastiest sumbeech in the group.
RIP Sidney Raymond Eudy aka "Sycho Sid"
(1960-2024)
I was a fan of Sid. Man had presence, and his promo style made you thing he was actually psycho. The way he would speak through his teeth, with a more hushed tone, only to fully explode when he got to a certain point before rounding back to the clenched jaw when he'd proclaim himself the ruler of the world got me every time.
dude did what he needed to do to get over. his shit looked good and he could have a decent match with the right guy and if he put his mind to it. and as you said, his promos were good stuff and then in top of that you find out the guy rather played softball, i man cant help but admire a guy who does whatever he wants if he can.
The interview where Sid talks about Dean Malenko wanting to have a 50/50 competitive match with him is hilarious. "No, Dean, I'm gonna cut you off and powerbomb you, 1-2-3"
The soy boy fans today would be crying if Sid squashed someone like Malenko…
Malenko was such a shitbomb in every capacity. Sid is the man.
@@jaydubya1488no dean was an amazing technical wrestler was a cruiserweight chain wrestler can't even honestly put them in the same category. Sid is a main eventer dean was just mid card two different players and wrestling styles all together.
I always loved Sid....as a big vicious heel. Lol
Man, I LOVE, and have the utmost respect for the fact that Kev doesn't take every opportunity to shit on other people. He rarely (if ever) takes pot-shots at other guys. Class.
Sid seemed like a good character, seems like he is underrated
Good to see Nash doing this during a difficult time in his life. Idk if he's doing this already but I'd like to see him go put a few wrestlers under his wing. Good for them and good for him to keep moving through this
Is he ok?
@@Prince_humperdink he had a lot of deaths recently in his life
A lot of people in the business say nothing but negative about Sid. Let it be known the fans loved him. Legendary.
Sid made people look. End of Story. He played every role great. even the ShockMaster segment 😂 he killed it! Lol. I love it. Legend
Softball Sid could have been his New Generation Era gimmick
Right he could have worn a softball fit with the high socks too and baseball cap lol
😂
Why not SCISSORS Sid, or Sid SCISSORS?
A lil dark, yes, but a natural.
Sid was awesome. Rooted for him no matter heel, face, or crazy. Lol loved his run in ECW too. His reaction to the Shocker is classic.
Sid is still a legend. One of the scary big guys for sure. I remember being a kid in the 90s and people talking about seeing him at airports and how he was one of the wrestler's that actually looked bigger in person.
From the time I seen Sid in the early 90s WWF, I always felt a sense of intimidation. Huge, tall loud guy with a blonde almost mullet. Strong, he could move well for a big guy. He just had a sense of danger to him. 2nd run, returning in 1996, I knew Shawn was going to lose the title to him.
From many standpoints, he was a great choice to dethrone Shawn. Yeah, I also knew Shawn would regain. I was disheartened that Shawn vacated, happy that Bret won it, conflicted that Sid won it from Bret as I'm a fan of both.
Every time I seen Sid on TV I knew we'd be in for some craziness. I felt his feud with Goldberg was too short and hated that Sid kept jobbing to him. Another case where Sid, from many standpoints, should've been a great threat to Goldberg. If he were shown to be the threat that he could be and capable of beating Goldberg, the rest of the wcw roster were in for some shit at point.
What should have been.
Sid was multiple time WCW and WWF champion during the monday night wars, and he damn near had the ECW belt too if he wanted it. If that doesn't constitute one of the biggest stars in wrestling history then I don't know what does
That being said, disappointing that they're glossing over his problems with Arn Anderson, Brian Pillman, Benoit, Malenko, Russo etc
he flopped in main events
@@markant9534 He was no Macho but he was up there. More of a formulaic big man but with a good character
Sid would have made a great Sabretooth in the Wolverine movies.
😂😂😂 Nah, he would have just no-showed.
Bro at the time I was hoping they would have casted him as Sabertooth!!! Glad I'm not the only one that thought that lol. Tyler Mane who did play sabertooth was big enough but Sid definitely had that wild persona that would have been perfect for sabertooth.
Dude at the time the first X-Men movie was being filmed, I was hoping they would cast Sid as Sabertooth! He would have been perfect!
Always been a HUGE Psycho Sid Fan. Love the guy, his character, his work. I know he didn't have heart for it since he's admitted many times, he'd rather do softball, but man, Sid was definitely a force in professional wrestling. Under rated for a top guy, easily. A star! When Sid replaced Ultimate Warrior during that time for the People Posee story line with HBK and Ahmed, I thought, pretty damn good replacement!
Nash is such a baller with that last analogy
In my opinion Sid would have made the most terrifying Terminator ever if James Cameron could have ever cast him.
I met Sid at the airport one time while I was traveling for business. Seemed like a good dude.
Best powerbomb in the business.
Sid or Nash? Lol
@@zlinedavidSid, nash blew his quads doing a powerbomb.
Arguably one of the attitude era pioneers
No matter how hard they tried pushing Sid as a heel, his natural charisma made you cheer for him.
Nash sounds like a high school history teacher. Real dude, always been a fan of Nash.
I started watching wrestling back in around 1990. 4 years old. 37 now. I lost interest around 2000. That’s not to say that wrestling was terrible in 2001. Just it wasn’t the same for me. No more charachters. Everyone was the same. Now I watch these shoots and I realise, anyone who had hear with Sid was jealous they could never be him
Arn? Flair?
When he got the belt off shawn that was one of my favorite wwf moments of all time. Shame they didn't let him have a good run with it. Many of us young fans were all in on Sid at that exact point in time.
I was so wrong about Kevin Nash; he is really a cool guy who is fair when telling people about the business. Great video.
Sid's intensity was something special
@Generic Name man's promos are amazingly bad "half the man that I am and I have half the brain the you do" top tier stuff
“I’m coming for you Sid. Hahahahaha!!”
Shockmaster
Uncle Fred 😂
Sid didn't put Hogan over, he did what he wanted, mad respect.
Sid was a good dude. Although he wasn't the smartest guy in the business, every wrestler I've heard talk about in interviews says he was one of the nicest guys they've ever met. He always made time for the fans whenever they would ask for pictures and autographs.
He's a total pro with more passion in one butt cheek then most guys put together and he knew it.
They have heat with Sid because they're half the man he is, but have twice the brains he does
R.I.P Sid one of the best looking powerful intimidating wrestlers ever ik Nash was such a good friend to Sid and always gave him his props!
Sid should be in the hall of fame, the man was one biggest heels in the buisness and he was so underrated
I love Sid..he was awesome..he was a heel in about 95 and i cheered for him in a pretty empty arena..everybody around me looked at me (like huh..?) including him than..i think he liked it...
Sid was a monster in the ring, very professional but a gentleman out of it. Very intelligent, hard working and lovely.
Thank you Sid for letting me see my first broken bone. I'm working in the field of orthopedic & casualty surgery now.
RIP SID!
Sid had heart--who else went out there and literally broke their leg for TV????
I think Nash simply meant Sid's haeart wasn't in the business, not that he didn't give his all in the ring or love performing. He just was never interested enough in the industry to care if he became the next Hogan or not, which is fair enough imo! I don't think Nash's intention in this interview is to known Sid in any way, just to point out that Sid simply didn't want to be the main man in the industry, and that's why he never became the man.
Pac/Neville?
Sid rules the world👊🏾the Madison garden entrance was legendary
Arn Andersson might disagree with Sid being harmless
Arn was a fake tough guy and Sid showed him his limits
Supposedly they buried the hatchet.
People had heat with Sid cuz he was over and didn’t give a fuck. All these guys had huge egos and Sid with no ego was more over than most of em; that pisses people off.
Sid Vicious was The Godzilla of my Generation X
Enjoy listening to Kevin and love his views and stories. Thanks.
sid was one of the best big men wrestling has ever seen...paul e dangerously booked him the best, as a huge meanacing powermonster
Sid and Randy Savage were two of the wrestlers I respected the most.
Sid was a smart businessman, if I was booking and he said he wanted to take the summer off to play softball? Fine, let’s do an injury angle and give you some time off TV.
Randy Savage was another smart businessman who always took care of his family, and I admire the fuck out of that so much. I gained so much respect for Randy when Vince called him and he asked Jerry Jarrett how many weeks he needed him before he left.
I would give some credit to Bill Dundee for being a semi smart businessman…kind of, he tried to do the Letterman thing with his son on Jerry Springer
Rest peacefully Sid
When he was posing with Hogan to close out Summer Slam 1991, I thought we were witnessing the passing of the torch.
that was plan. Vince wanted make Sid the New Hulk Hogan but it failed
Good to hear. Always liked Sid. Did the twitchy pyscho routine really well. And he never pandered when talking about wrestling as a business for him more than a passion.
I usually enjoy technical wrestlers, but there was just SOMETHING with Sid. He was just built like a monster and had a presence to him that I haven’t seen before or since.
Sid's one of my all-time favorites. I was genuinely scared of that dude when I was younger.
Nash's Sid impression he did in October / November 1999 - LMAO! I highly recommend to watch it if you can.
RIP Sid 🙏🙏
I am really enjoying these podcasts. I've only read bits about Sid being difficult. I am with Kevin on this, great guy and did what was asked. It's always been known he only did it for the money. No shame in that, how many of us these days get a job we absolutely love and stick at it for life?
Even he laughed about how serious he was during the while Shock Master thing lol at least he laughed with me about it 😂
0:57…Sean totally misses the sarcasm and Kevin waits until the penny drops 😂😂😂😂
''go tear that ass up in 8 to 10 minutes'' - Kevin nash
I know Sid was supposed to do the job for Hogan at Mania, but i'm glad he didn't.
Hey guys, thanks for the podcast. Kevin, you were always entertaining, and I always wanted to meet you Scott and Randy. Kevin, I can't imagine going through all the shit you have in the last couple of years. Are you making it ok? Please take care maybe one day I can shake your hand. God bless
Lol at Nash no selling Sean’s “I could bring it home in a few seconds”
The night Vince created Mr. McMahon character when Bret Hart snapped on Vince, Stone Cold snapped on Bret, Sid was coming down cursing, Undertaker came in kicking ass and Shawn Michaels wanting attention. Was a great moment.
Sid had the ultimate wrastler look . Size body and crazy mullet
Not just a mullet, a mullet perm!
As a kid, Sid looked like Sabertooth to me 😂.
Sid playing softball in the Summer and got quality time with his family, wife, and kids. Smart dude.
Sid was always my favorite
RIP Sid
Met big Sid years back. He was a really nice guy. RIP.
Kevin Nash was always one of my favorite wrestlers. I started watching in the mid 90's
R.I.P SID
Sid was scariest/coolest/realest heel ever. When i was a kid i almost cried when he turned on my boy Shawn 😂
Hey Big man and Mr Oliver rock on! Just watched the WCW Championship Match Caged Heat! Excellent and thank you! Nash you Ron Harris played the perfect heels ... gave Sid over with respect to show off the tenaciousness nature of Sid Vicious but done for Sid as an under dog baby face sooo well done 👏 thank you! 🤘 I sid note when friends can disagree and debate it Too Sweet ! Much respect to you both and well that was not an easy episode for Big Kev ... sorry for your loss man😢
SID was a fan favorite in any promotion he worked in, heel or babyface. There's not too many guys you can say that about.
Turning Sid heel in 92 against Hogan didn’t make much sense to me
Agreed. Sid was getting heavily cheered over Hogan because audiences were getting tired of the Hulkamania shtick. Sid was a fresh face who also happened to be a giant man who could work fairly decently. WWF did a great job of presenting his psycho character and he stood out in a sea of stereotypes and cartoon characters. It's a damn shame he didn't end his career in the WWF and instead broke his leg in WCW and had his career taken from him.
I love the Sid Justice theme.. WWE should have used that theme when he came back
The booking team had heat with him because he did his own thing.
Earliest memories of Sid for me were the Skyscrapers with Mean Mark Calloway. Sid was a giant believable monster with intense promos. WCW and WWF champion and loved his ECW run. Psycho Sid is a legend esp the epic story of him and arn.
Sid was the worst live injury I've ever seen
"I never really had a problem with Sid". ( Kevin Nash)
Sid was always over and had the best look for a monster heel I've ever seen.
Man had natural charisma. The crowd loved him - he was so over especially during his second wwf run
Best look in wrestling
