      Ian Totten Especially in ECW. I still remember Judge Jeff Jone's classic Line at Hardcore Heaven 99, "You're not getting the chair, you're getting executed by the MAN!" Then Sid came out to a huge pop. And then kicked Justin Credible's ass. It was very fun to watch. Even Jeff Jones himself got beat lol Sid is not as bad as everybody clams. He's like Goldberg, just don't put him on a mic then it'll be fine. Tho personally I prefer Sid over Goldberg, mainly because he had alot of matches longer then 5 mins

    Many years ago I knew a woman (sister of my dad’s girlfriend at the time) who drove the limo for a lot of the WWF wrestlers when came to the area (mostly for Brett hart). She had a disabled son (deaf and movement issues, good kid) who was a big wrestling fan. She told me a story how she got to go backstage at a WWF event in Allentown, PA with her son. Sid saw the kid and basically made sure the kid met all the wrestlers. Sid even carried him around to make sure he got everyone’s autograph. Not one wrestler turned him down. She said it seemed like Sid was more excited then her son. When it came to children, especially disabled kids, Sid was as nice and as accommodating as anyone.
    I’ll always remember that story (and I saw all the pictures with the kid and the wrestlers, heel and baby face). The only one he didn’t get a picture with was the undertaker. But the kid was standing there in the hallway and saw the undertaker walking out for a match. The Undertaker was well known for staying in full character when he was in the arena, but when Taker saw the kid, he nodded to him, which coming from the undertaker was a huge sign of respect and a big deal. It really raised my opinion of Sid. Sid was and is a great guy, especially when it came to his younger fans. That incident made me a fan of Sid.

My son is a huge wrestling fan since the age of 1, (this kid eats, sleeps, and breathes wrestling, he's an all state wrestler currently at the age of 16) he was 6 or 7 at the time. Anyway we go to the show and there are probably 25 people sitting around the ring, sure enough Sid and some local guy was the main event, we couldn't believe such a one time HUGE star was at this little show. Well here's the thing about Sid after his match he went around and shook hands, took pictures, signed autographs, and thanked every single person that was attending. It was the thrill of my young son's life to meet such a big time wrestler. Just another story of how nice a guy Sid really is

I don't know if anyone actually did go for the refund, i stayed. Owen came out and there was a long pause after the announcer said "and his opponent".

    Sid was one of the nicest guys ever. As a junior in high school, myself and 4 friends went to the pyramid to watch WWF. On the way, I told the guys we were stopping by sid's house on the way. I walked up to his door, knocked , and his wife said no and slammed the door. He immediately opened the door, nothing but jeans, stepped out and took a picture with us. We probably shouldn't have stopped by, but he was so nice

      I know what you mean. I first saw him in wcw, his size was fucking shocking. The first time I saw him I was like, you've got to be kidding how's anyone gonna stop this beast. Everyone else seemed like midgets next to him and we're talking about some big guys. How dudes didn't get their backs broken with those powerbombs I'll never know but he made them look so convincing I would wince on the victims behalf. One of the most memorable characters ever in any promotion, and should be hof'd just based on size to anger ratio alone. Royally scared the shit out of me every weekend - you had to love Sid. Sid's exploding eyeballs ruled the world.

    Newfound respect for Sid. Dude was fucking over everywhere. The WWF blew it with this guy during that first run. I always saw him as a chaotic babyface, would have been ahead of his time if they had him replace Hogan as a grey area good guy. Also, great shoot Hannibal.

      He got big pops in Memphis. He had a great run in Memphis in 1994 while in between WCW and WWF. He just showed up as a heel, destroyed Lawler, took the belt and totally dominated the territory like he always should have been booked in WCW or WWF. He turned face at the end when he left of the WWF, but still showed up in Memphis once a month or so as a face. He always got a huge pop and drew much bigger crowds than normal.
