Met him while driving thru West Memphis back in the late 90s I believe? He was walking out of a gas station and there was never a question in my mind that was Sid Vicious. Ok so I didn't meet him as in get to talk to him or get an autograph but it sure was crazy seeing a dude that damn big that I've only seen on TV. I kick myself for not saying hey but I think I was so intimidated by him that I chose to just keep walking.

[@PiCheZvara]

Arn Anderson suffered 20 stab wounds, Sid suffered 4. No matter what happened, it was at best wrong on both sides. And IMO if Arn truly chugged a beer at Sid and then threatened him with a broken bottle, Sid should have just stayed in his room. Not break a fucking leg off a chair and go knocking on Arn's door.

[@willdavies2003]

He seems reliable.

Sid is a scary dude, so glad he finally got to tell his side of the story. How long was Arn out of action for?

[@mgb4692]

He was feuding with Regal in early '94 so it was no more than 2-3 months, but I'm pretty sure that he did the pre-Starrcade tapings (debut of the robot intro/Mean Gene) and it wasn't edited in footage cause he looked a bit lighter and like he'd been through war compared to the pre-Havoc tapings

[@thorboysen3318]

I have always liked Sid....! I am from Germany and in 1991 WWE was in Kiel (a small town near Hamburg) with the main event "The Undertaker vs. Sid Justice"...!!! What a match that was...! It was my very first live event! And it was sooo cool...!!! One of my sweetest and greatest memories...!!! Thank you Sid and also "Taker" for that great moment...!!!

" Sid looked at him and said you need to mind your fucking business, with a Jack Lambert stare. I said to myself, dude you better leave well enough alone before Sid put something on your ass.
