Who do you think was the best choice to take the WWF Title from HBK at Survivor Series 1996 - Sycho Sid or Vader? Let us know in the comments!
IMO it should of been Vader , he got a bad deal in his wwf run never really got a fair shake
Sid!
Sid. Easy
He just had something special that fans gravitated towards no matter the year
Definitely Sid. Vader, by that point, was very out of shape.
@@Erlewyn vader was actually in decent shape he had lost a lot of weight during this time period he said in a shoot interview he was around 350-360
Sid's entrance at Survivor Series '96 is one of the best ever. That narrow Garden entrance way, fist bumping fans, and yelling "Who's the man?!" So iconic. Seeing him so over that night was great. He was always underrated, so seeing him get his due was such a cool moment.
My favorite entrance of all time & I'm a diehard HBK fan... Honorable mention goes to Goldberg at Halloween Havoc.
If this was cool try to lookup Sid vs Bradshaw it'll give you a treat
Vladimir helped make that entrance (and exit) special.
I agree it still gives me chills. "Who's the Man??"
@@michaeldepinto3562 💯
I didn't appreciate Sid when I was a kid, but watching it back now, he's everything that's missing from wrestling. You believe he could kick anyone's ass, and you believe he's totally insane.
Well, we're very different bc I loved the fuk out of Sid when I was little. Very believable
Dude you NAILED it. Sycho Sid was awesome. The SUPER PREDATOR!!!
RIP in Sid … thanks for the memories… growing up and watching you was a pleasure… the best time in wrestling
His entrance at Survivor Series 96 was amazing. One of my favorites.
WHOS THE MAN
“Suddenly I’m dominant “
Sid knocked it out of the park every time he was given the ball. He was pretty good as a pro wrestler too.
a Sid hall of fame speech would be fn epic AF.
A shame it's never happening... 😭
@Tranceplant82
This...😢😢😢
Triple H please put this man in the HALL OF FAME.
I thought he was suppose to go in last year! What happened ?
@@freighttrainsahpassing9790 might not be true but because Vader got inducted they didn’t wanna put both in so Vader could get his last shining moment since he died, if Sid doesn’t get inducted this year I’m gonna be very pissed.
They can’t because it happens during softball season!
@@TheYetiLee bruh
He won't until Vince is dead
I was there that night and it was weird how the MSG crowd were booing Shawn and cheering Sid. The best part though was after Sid won and the PPV went off the air and everyone was filing out, they kept playing Sid's music. It was like an afterglow moment where you're sharing in Sid's victory as you left.
What people forget about that match sycho sid was a babyface going into the match at survivor series he turned heel during the match but the fans loved him and they refused to boo him
@@dantecarroll2435 no he wasn’t, he was a heel going into that match. The New York crowd just didn’t like Michaels, and rightly so.
@@garethcullen9604 I think he was a 'tweener, didnt he beat a heel Vader on the ppv leading up to it?
@@user-li3fr8jl3b he more or less was a tweener throughout both his title runs. Showed a lot of face and heel tendencies.
@@user-li3fr8jl3b He woulda beat him to become number one contender, so yeah he did.
I will never forget seeing this man's leg SNAP on live television. Even as a kid my heart went out to him. Anyone else who saw that knows what I mean
Sid was 100% correct...
He was more over than Shawn when they were working together.
Sid was over everywhere he went even ECW lol 👏
This man and hulk hogan made my childhood really exciting and fun. A lot of memories comes before my eyes when i see this big guy here - just like it was yesterday. Sid, i told you once and telling you again - thank you big man! Really hope to see him in hof next time!
Same here, his presence was believable
Sid is such an underrated talent. Not the best in the ring, or on promos, but I always enjoyed his matches, he was always intimidating and believable in a way
Good to see Sid looking healthy compared to most wrestlers from his era. Absolute monster of a man, I think they billed him at 6'9 but I know he was at least a legit 6'6 monster.
He was taller than Taker who was 6 foot 8.
@animallover8610 Taker was 6’7” and was a little taller than Sid
Damn
"Do to the man, as the man would do to you, but do it first
~Sid Vicious~
The most underrated heel in wrestling history
@ENT Broadcast Corporation he’s not even in the Hall of Fame. That proves my point!!
@ENT Broadcast Corporation 🤡🤡🤡
Not underrated at all Sid was one of the most believable intimidating legitimate heels in professional wrestling history and being in the WWE hall means 💩 Sid doesn't need it
There's not even a hall of fame building.
Go look up the 1994 induction.
That was actually cool.
Loved Sid back in the day. Love him just as much now.
Sid needs to get an adult size hat😂
It guess it is, might just be his massive head.
I think it is. haha
Ol 8 and 3/8ths
He still has a full head of hair! Lol. Kudos to him. Probably because he got out of wrestling early.
@@txmetalhead82xkAnd good for him. Sid gets a bad rap from a lot of people just because he wasn’t head over heels in love with pro wrestling like so many others in the business, but he viewed wrestling as a way to make a decent living and I don’t see anything wrong with that. He wasn’t gonna push himself beyond his limits and still be wrestling in his late 40s, he was aware of the shady business practices of McMahon and other promoters, and how they’d make promises that they wouldn’t keep, so he always kept one foot out of the business and was smart enough to know when to get out for his own benefit.
Sid is looking good, Looks healthy
The video was 4 years ago
@@Optimus7519
And?
Psycho Sid hanging on with the weeeeed
RIP
I loved his reaction to the ShockMaster falling on the ground through the wall
Strange hearing him talk normally. In his promos he was so intense.
Sid's entrance at that event was pretty wicked
Sid Should be in the wwe Hall of Fame next year
That entrance changed me as a fan and got me ready for Austin
When you have a XXL head, but they only sell XL caps
Sid rocking the Sid Justice hair ....
The man, and ruler of the WORLD!!!!!!!!!!
R I.P. Sid.
Sid was awesome.. i was a huge bret hart fan and in my 10 year old brain, sid was the only guy i couldn’t imagine brett beating. Vader should have been pushed more also.. i remember really loving vader.
Crazy to think that this guy isn't in the WWE Hall of fame yet. 2024 is the year dammit, we can't wait for any longer. Do it right, WWE!
Brian Pillman should have been in years ago as well.
Why isn't he
He is one of the greatest of all time he deserves to be in the hall of Fame long time ago
Sid did always have that farmer look lol
This guy main-evented Wrestlemania twice within a few years, not many people can say that.
And was also involved in a 3rd essentially main event match between the two at 11, being at ringside for Michaels and Diesel. So 92, 95 and 97 he was either one of the top guys, or involved with them. Not bad at all. Then if not for the Arn Anderson scissors incident in 93....he woulda won the World Title at Starrcade (ironically enough beating Vader, the guy he replaced 3 years later in 96), WCW's biggest show. So he was on top really for BOTH companies for better part of 5 years, that's pretty impressive.
Sid should be in the hall of fame because he has Half the Brain that we do
RIP TO THE LEGENDARY SYCHO SID!!!
Greatest early 90's Heel
Gotta say million dollar man everybody hated his azz
Definitely deserves to be in the HOF
His "Look" is unmatched. In this category he goes down as the greatest in my opinion. The scowl, the eyes, dripping in sweat with the leather vest. Man imagine him walking in to a 7-11. He can go to the front of the line!
Sid is honestly a veteran I'd love to talk to at a bar.
I have actually did that once.
or......at the softball games lol.
Sid was a two time WWF Champion. During his run there he should have had all the belts, Tag Team and Intercontinental TItle. Maybe even the Royal Rumble.
That damn hogan man..
He's one of those guys I'm more interested in listening to then the regulars you normally get in these kind of interviews.
Because you rarely hear from him. It's not like Jericho and Cornette where they are in demand because of their ability to tell stories and their inability to NOT be a cartoon respectively
Rest in Power 🤜🤛
RIP Sid. 🙏🏼
Being a fellow Arkansan Sid has always been one of my favorites! Get to meet him at an independent show in December and so excited! One of my favorite Sid memories is an episode of Raw where he wrestled Scott Hall and when he did his Razor Ramon pyro pose Sid ran THROUGH the pyro like a monster in a movie and drilled Hall from behind and hit a powerbomb for a quick win. It was such an incredible moment
RIP Sid ❤
To say that he looks astoundingly ridicolous with that cap would be far by the biggest understatenent in the history of the human species.
Oh man, is this full interview available somewhere? Always love a Sid shoot!
I really enjoyed the match Sid and Shawn had at Survivor Series 96
Sid is the only guy I ever recall catching lightning twice in the same bottle.
Sid was NUTS over at survivor series 96 insane support for Sid but when the dust settles Shawn was ridiculously talented which we’re supposed to boo him but you simply can’t because he really is phenomenal in that ring, I couldn’t believe my eyes watching HBK to be honest it was just poetry
BRET same level by the way possibly better but it’s hard
RIP Sycho Sid🙏
He seem like a down to earth person rip sid
I loved Sid and the Psycho character was the sh1t. It was cool to see crazy Sid unload on HBK. Loved it when he hit HBK with the camera.
He wasn’t used to his/WWF full potential. His first run was the best with that entrance music eliminating Hogan from the Rumble.
Shame he got injured in WCW because he might have been able to have another run.
Vince might have not liked sid the person but sids look was all vince wanted in a wrestler.
RIP big man.
How is he not in the HOF
I noticed that even when I was a kid, everyone loved this man, and character, but wasn’t getting his opportunities, as a kid I’m like wth 🤦♂️ rip sid
He is one of many WCW guys who turned the WWF system around in the late 90s. I can list them for you. One was Big Van Vader, undertaker, one was Steve Austin, one was Brian pillman, Cactus jack, the only real homegrown star they had was Dwayne Johnson
Sid is massive!!
ultimate warrior would had turned heel at ss96 if he didnt leave but sid was so popular even a strong heel move at ss96 didnt turn him heels.
1996 wwf was struggling but the main eventers were even better than today s stable , it felt like competition everybody wanted top spot hungry
The og psycho sid very underrated wrestler had the look and size loved his promos as well good heel from the 1990s he looks good to doesn't really age as all.❤
Sid loves his button down shirts.
Sycho Sid is from West Memphis, Arkansas. So, like The Undertaker, Stone Cold Steve Austin abd Shawn Michaels, he does have the western culture. Infact, once upon a time during the New Generation Era, Sycho Sid did dominate the roster once. At 6 ft 9in, he did crush his opponents. Now, Triple H is thd COO, but i still remember in 1996/97, that he got beat up by Sycho Sid, even before he could walk to the ring.
The match with Shawn at SS 96 was Sid's best IMO !!!
Didn't know sid was a cowboys fan 👍.I knew I liked him for a reason.
I miss the Masters of the Powerbomb. They were a great tag team.
Sid's _Survivor Series_ entrance was one of the best moments of his entire wrestling career. The other one was where he tried to do a backstage promo with _JR_ , he forgot his lines and JR said, "We're Live Pal". The last one was his legendary promo in WCW when he said to _The Outsiders_ , "You're only half the man that I am - and I have half the brain that you do". 😂😂😂😂
I love Sid
Sid vicious was awesome, if it wasn't for hogan and his bs politics a lot of guys would've been much bigger. I always used sid in wrestling games as a kid and I always hammered on any game I played that had hulk specially with andre the giant too 😂always booted hulks ass with andre
I remember being genuinely horrified as a kid when he hit Jose lothario with the camera at SS ‘96 😂
That hat looks silly sittin on top of them curls, but I wont tell him.😂
i enjoyed how it went down. but to go back and roll with the original plans, it surely would have made sense for Vader to destroy HBK at Summerslam. Climb the mountain again, only to come up short in the Garden for Survivor Series against Vader, and then finally topple Vader in the Alamodome. It definitely 'could' have worked.
But again, Im with Sid. Im glad it played out how it did. He worked himself and earned it........twice.
Sid reminds me of merle from walking dead
Great discussion, but I never got the sense that Vince didn't like Sid. Vince praised Sid regularly while calling his matches, paid him while he was away, and gave him opportunity after opportunity.
Loved Sid!!!
RIP SID
Original plans were for Warrior to work a program with the Bulldog culminating at SummerSlam in a powerhouse match. He was then going to be booked at the Survivor Series in an elimination tag match. It was going to be Wildman, Bart Gunn, The Stalker and Ultimate Warrior vs Hunter, Goldust, Fake Diesel and Fake Razor. Warrior’s entire team would be eliminated one by one then he’d be left against 4 men and he’d single handedly eliminate all 4 opponents clean. At that same PPV, originally Vader was going to go over HBK for the belt. Following night on Raw and because of Warrior’s performance at the SS, Vince would announce Gorilla has made the Warrior the number one contender to challenge Vader at IYH: It’s Time were plan was for Warrior to put over Vader clean to hype the Vader vs HBK rubber match at the RR 97. That’s as far as plans were for in 1996.
This is Michael Rooker and I dont care what you say!!
Sid probably requested that the interviewer phrase it as “ Pitched “
Sid was vastly underrated not the best at promos but a big intimidating presence the powerbomb instisienty and charisma and that leather vest was cool as fuck, in a way he was able to capitalize on being in the right place in the Right time sucks he left after WrestleMania 13,.would of been interesting to see what he could of done in the attitude era he was great very underrated lill never forget when he beat Shawn for the belt at survivor series 96 he was over as fuck raw power and all RIP TO THE MASTER AND RULER OF THE WORLD AND THE POWERBOMB!
I heard HBK didn’t want to put over Vader as champion hence why Vince made the switch to have Sid as champion.
It wasn't so much that Shawn didn't to put Vader over as champ so much as the matches just weren't there and Shawn also didn't like taking the Vader potatoes hence why Vince called the audible to Sid.
HBK and the Kliq always liked Sid anyway so it wasn't a problem for HBK to work the back and forth title switch with him.
Sid in ecw was the best❤
I almost thought sycho sid was bill belichick for a sec
Sid’s the Man
Legend RIP
Were they actually chanting Sid's name during the Shawn/Diesel match at Wrestlemania?
Everyone complaining about him not being in the hall of fame lol. Who cares? It's meaningless anyway. This isn't likes other sports with stats. Let him live in our hearts and RUclips where new generations can watch his matches.
Vince McMahon is a HELL of a boss if he strikes fear in his employees 25+ years later, especially those guys who are 6'9"+...
I'm not saying what he did was right, but he did 'win' the Attitude Era and turned the WWF into a household name for years to come...
To this day that interviewer is still asking about Sids memories from survivor series.
"His wife said to me. When i called her. Sid would be more happy if he could just go and play softball. I said. So would we" - Jim Cornette
Funny but Sid always got a pop. The man was over and despite his workrate, he put butts in seats.
WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR?! GOLDBERG WHERE ARE YOU!?!?
The wittle hat is hilarious!
The Vader story at Survivor Series is intriguing, but old news.
Dude that is the greatest entrance that is one of the best matches of all time. People talk about that stupid Hulk Hogan match that's garbage with the Rock, by far Shawn Michaels vs Sycho Sid, the heel being the Babyface, that match kills it because that Madison Square Garden crowd was so smart, they hated Shawn Michaels and love psycho Sid and it's apparent from the time he comes out
Gavin says : Vader was supposed to be World Champion but as usual Shawn had a hissy fit and refused to do the right thing so it ended up being Sid!!!!
That little hat on his huge head 😂
Sycho Sid!
