Sid was a genuinely good guy. I remember being outside a small town arena with my best friend and we were watching the talent show up because we didn't have money to get in. A lot of guys walked past. Most were cool. Smiled and talked, goofed around with my buddy who was a real character. Sid came by nodded and went in. A few minutes later he came back out, now dressed in his gear. He saw we were still outside and he asked why we weren't in the arena. When we told him we were broke he got us in. I was 13 years old and that made me a Sid fan for life.

The fact he was just as successful in both companies is proof of his staying power & the fact that HE started the end of Hulkamania in WWF by being the first heel that was truly loved is quite the footnote. Even though Hulkamania would continue to live on for another 15 years, Sid was the guy that forced the NWO to form.

I'll never forget the intimidating presence and intensity captured in those WCW cards from 1991. Next time I learned about Sid was from the WWF Music Volume 2 CD, so that's how I knew a variation of his "Sycho" theme music, but I didn't really start to see his work until I saw him in WCW the 2nd time around in '99 (loved his updated "China White" Sky Scrapers theme and his world title run). His WWF promos weren't so great all the time, but he stayed intense. His 2nd WWF Run before that (where he built up from the Money Inc group, then snapped and bodied Shawn and Bret for world championship gold) was pretty good and I didn't get to see that until I was an adult. of course, you got the legendary "half the brain" gaffe, and the spot that Bischoff forced him into, but I was glad to see him bounce back later on in his life to have that legends spot with Heath Slater (who didn't have kids yet--if you know you know). There's no Brock Lesnar without Sid (and Goldberg). His intensity will never be forgotten.

Sid was definitely one of my favorite wrestlers hands down. Should have been in the HOF years ago.

Booker T was one of the greatest and along with his brother, they were the ultimate tag-team even over the Road Warriors, whom I was not a fan of. RIP SID
