Sid Vicious Shoots on Sting and Ric Flair

[@davidatkinson8515]

RIP Sid. You were a phenomenal wrestler. You'll be greatly missed.

[@jtp5919]

One of the Greatest ever frightening characters in wrestling - thanks Sid for the memories , and the nightmares .

[@ericcarvelli9773]

I have to admit as a kid this guy scared the crap out of me, it surprises me how humble he seems outside the ring, seems like he'd be a really cool person to meet and hang out with, I think he deserves to be in the WWE Hall of Fame, I don't understand why he's not already.. he was one of those heels that was sort of like Stone Cold, he was so bad that eventually the fans started cheering for him...

[@SimpleManGuitars1973]

I was a DEVOUUUUUUT little Stinger and was 8 years old during that Halloween Havoc and believed that wrestling was totally real. So I still remember, to this very day, the exact moment and exact place where I was at when watching that Halloween Havoc and when I thought Sting had lost I was literally crying out loud and my dad realized that it wasn't really Sting in the ring and told me to just keep watching and then Sting came back out and won the match and my sorrows were turned to joy. Ahhhh 90's wrestling.... LOL!

[@sethherrington350]

Yeah I was huge sting fan and my mom took me to see him face sid at road wild in sturgis and did won clean I was so sad but had a great time

[@creeksider248]

No wonder Flair doesn't like him! I saw him when he first got to WCW in Springfield MA. He was in a battle royal and used his finisher, the Power Bomb! Never saw the move before! I was like, who is this guy? What the heck was THAT move?? I've been a Sid fan ever since, and am so glad he's been HW Champ because SID RULES THE WORLD! :) Oh, and Thumbs Up on the video!

[@kmacksmcdonald6475]

Proof every wrestler likes Sting. Undertaker and sting are the 2 who nobody speaks bad about

[@dewayneperry8395]

Correction. QGary Hart & Al Perez Buried sting in their interviews

[@BURN1NGx1NS1D3]

@@dewayneperry8395 like anybody cares what those jobbers think

[@drflexenstein3537]

Vampire seemed like a jerk when talking about Sting. But the majority definitely speaks positively of Stinger.

[@PhilAndersonOutside]

Ricky Steamboat is someone everyone loved to wrestle. Never said anything bad about the guy.

[@mrsain19]

I could sit and have beers and listen to Sid tell me wrestling stories all week.

[@ike0G]

When i was a kid watching sid vicious i could never imagine seeing him sitting there all calm and talking like a normal person. The characters were real to me back then.

[@tearuhapimarika759]

Me too bro, it's actually really cool to listen too him and his perspective on things

[@mikemeeky6459]

he seems like a cool guy

[@timothyalston9171]

He's really well spoken considering his reputation for messing up his promos.

[@bellytorelli]

The half a brain promo was late WCW, so I'm pretty sure that's the way it was scripted. The IYH fuckup with Ross "we're live, pal"... well, shit happens. That are the only instances I remember Sid looking like an idiot on the mic

[@PatkaBoy831]

I believe the 'I don't know shit' thing was in regards to Bret's growing paranoia before turning heel and saying something to which Sid replied 'I don't know shit'.

[@MGSBigBoss77]

Big difference between cutting promos on live TV before going out to wrestle, Vs private interviews where you have time to prepare and not feel rushed or flustered when talking to somebody in a more relaxing environment!

[@abc_12333]

Bernd Berndner HUH??? How could "half a brain" be scripted?? That makes no sense.

[@saveus228]

123abc lots of shit in wcw didn’t make sense then

[@memorydrain7806]

Sid should of been cast as Sabretooth in X-Men back in the days.

[@jasonkendrick2256]

Memory Drain Geez! He's the PERFECT Victor Creed

[@GaeasBlessing]

He'd have made a good Eddie Brock/Venom in Spider-Man 3.

[@gigan4prez648]

My brother and I used to say that all the time back in the 90s.

[@MrBargill]

Ditto

[@mikethomas5231]

Memory Drain : Absolutely!!!

[@WhereMyChicken]

Sid appears to be one heckuva truthful, straight guy.

[@williamestes629]

Over the last few months I've gotten to see more Sid Justice and realize how great he was. I'm glad he's still in good health.

[@skohermanextraordinaire7624]

Sid is as real as it gets....thx for the memories big guy

[@yankee4424]

In all of the shoot interviews that I’ve listened to over the years, I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say anything negative about Sting.

[@The_Notorious_CRG]

Can you imagine Prime Sid versus Prime Brock Lesnar?

[@Bookgirlfan]

exactly . or prime Vader vs prime lesnar

[@hoodeanie1591]

I love listening to Sid talk. The stories are great

[@JohnSmith-je3jj]

Sid's cool as fuck! He use to freak me out when I was young with that "psycho" look he gave and I was instantly a fan.

[@whtevr84]

John Smith He was fuckin cool at Survivor Series 1996, that MSG reaction was crazy, they loved the guy, with everybody fist bumping him and booing everything babyface Shawn did while cheering even the shittiest things that heel Sid was doing, it's like Sid could do no wrong, just a surreal atmosphere I can't think of many wrestlers who could do something like that, maybe Flair or Austin

[@whtevr84]

chet michael Uh....I was complimenting Sid here, not critiquing his matches, the point is that I know what I like about him and at what points of time I liked Sid and when I didn't Why am I supposed to like everything about Sid? What about him was supposed to be so good in the ring? Vader's a better big man, as is Undertaker, as is Barry Windham, as are several other big power wrestlers....Sid looks like he gets lost sometimes in his matches, he can be clumsy, one dimensional, boring and unimaginative especially when he's in control, he's got some of the worst chair shots I've ever seen....he seems like he's probably harder to carry than Kevin Nash or Goldberg or any number of not great wrestlers, and Sid is definitely not carrying shit Sid's charismatic and his character is insane that's what his appeal is to me...and he makes me unintentionally laugh at times so I find him entertaining Shawn vs Sid at Survivor Series is the best Sid match more for the atmosphere than the ringwork, the work is good, but the atmosphere makes that match and that has mostly to do with Sid I hate revisionist smarks who try to push the idea that visibly bad in ring workers are actually great workers...i imagine most of them look like Sloth from The Goonies...which is probably reflective of Sid's overall intelligence level

[@whtevr84]

chet michael Oh I don't care if you read my "paragraphs", I don't see the point of typing out 2 short sentences when all it takes is a few seconds to read a full thought...but I understand, you're probably just a slow reader so you probably don't have the time for that, after all you are a Sid mark, you probably don't understand the big words And yes I can compliment somebody while also criticizing them...it's called a critique, see you'd understand that if you weren't simple minded...I'm making observations not campaigning to get Sid elected for President ya douche

[@whtevr84]

chet michael You think you're actually making a point? What point? Where's your point? You can't even understand what you read or what you hear, and I don't think you even understand your own thoughts No you're just a guy pretending to know who and what I am without knowing me in any capacity...you're a special kind of idiot, you start with nonsense and follow it by descending into a troll You know what kind of douche tries to randomly throw out beta male as an insult? Castrated sissies and simple minded sheep

[@whtevr84]

chet michael Tsk tsk tsk...forever a dummy, I guess that's what happens in a society without strong male role models...you're truly lost

[@johndoez9618]

Sid u were awesome loved your work as a teen you scared me lol

[@borednow5838]

Don't buy that Sid was meant to win the belt at Havoc 90. Sting had only been champion since July. Back then world title reigns typically lasted longer than 3 months. Its possible than Flair might not have been honest with him about the finish.

[@theteddy1487]

Love how he got stiffed but instead of getting mad he saw the humor in it.

[@markula_4040]

Sting was in the middle of the Black Scorpion angle (as bad as it might have been) which culminated at Starrcade. Why would he drop the title to Sid at Halloween Havoc?

[@STEJTHEGREATEST]

Personally, Sid facially always reminded me of "the sandman" from JCVD's death warrant film!!!!! ;*(

"Sid, I'm not an idealist like you" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!

[@Nobody-br1rq]

I wish Sid took wrestling serious he could have been bigger than he was

[@LittleBigKid707b]

I mean the guy main evented everywhere he went and make a shit ton of money. Don't know what else he could have done....

[@whtevr84]

Cock He was about as big as he could've been, he lived up to his potential....Sid has his talents, but Sid's also dumb, that will always hinder your progress, you can't do much with dumb...Sid did good with what he had

[@whtevr84]

chet michael Dumb people can make a lot of money, you don't have to be intelligent to make money if you're blessed with what Sid had from the outset, but looking at Sid's career and all the places he fucked up and how he fucked up...you're being very generous with your assessment of Sid's mental capacity Supermodels, actors, pornstars, reality TV people, even some politicians, there are many success stories in those fields of categorically dumb people, Sid doesn't seem like he's very bright All I'm saying is that he did very good for his capacity, talent wise and intelligence wise, no reason to feel that anything was lacking in his career, there are more talented people than Sid who deserved more and got far less than he did in their careers

[@whtevr84]

chet michael No...he's not...he might not even be as smart as you...maybe And you did say that a person who makes $ couldn't possibly be dumb, so I don't think you understood yourself what you were implying Sid's a dope, I'm sorry, I know you love him, even I enjoy Sid for what he is, but dude's not a smart guy

[@whtevr84]

chet michael And you get an F for that little brain fart...in my original post I stated that there is no reason for Sid marks to bemoan his career because based on popular opinion from those who have dealt with him Sid is infamous for being dumb, he did have a modicum level of talent, a very specific type of appeal, and for his limited capacity and career bumblings he did well....as usual you're confusing yourself because you never even understand what you're thinking much less what anybody else is saying...I actually never said anything in particular about his matches and how the fuck is one supposed to prove superior intelligence....lets say I know I'm smarter just by the mere fact that I'm not Sid Eudy What the fuck have you proved, for that matter, since you bring it up, you haven't done anything to prove that Sid has great matches, is extremely talented, and is incredibly intelligent All you do is make up excuses and lie for Sid out of some unexplained fanboy obsession with him

[@ironkong26]

When i was a kid iw as genuinely frightened of sid lol

[@MrHoover77]

"iw"?

[@djvn-bb1fv]

Guys like Flair and Hogan were always overly jealous of who could be better than them.

[@QuentinDude]

I was hoping Sid was going to win at Halloween Havoc but Windham coming out as a fake Sting was pretty awesome. I'm glad Sid did eventually get a world title run in WWE

[@mrsain19]

QuentinDude and in late WCW.

[@bernie7044]

Sid was the freaking man.

[@STEJTHEGREATEST]

Were you ever scared while you were around him, Hannibal??????? When I saw him in the ring in the Utah retirement show he did with you, I still thought he looked like a giant serial killer in the ring, as old as he is!!!!!!

[@drphot6050]

Injuries, anger issues, and streaks of bad luck kept Sid from easily being Top 10 all-time instead he became underrated and underappreciated.

[@markryan5104]

Sids worst match was against Kevin Nash at the 1999 Starcade ppv.Power bomb match in which the winner was the one who powerbombed his opponent.But although Nash won he did'nt even powerbomb Sid as the ref was 'hurt' but this was WCW so the fact that Sid was down,and the ref was to,Nash stil won as he just literally pointed at Sid on the floor and held his back as if to say 'look ref my back hurts as ijust powerbombed Sid' and the ref believed Nash and declared Nash the winner?!?! They could have made Sid the top guy in WCW but this was the Vince Russo era so most things in WCW Russo failed pretty quickly..

[@1985HotRod]

sid and KEVIN NASH? thats not hard to believe. thats a disaster!

[@georgetaylor1468]

Thank you for sharing

[@markryan5104]

Sids best match ever was against HBK at Survivor Series 1996.Thats the Sid who should have legit ruled the world of pro wrestling but he just could'nt have that kind of 5star match with anyone else(his matches against the Undertaker in early 1997 came very close though)

[@Nobody-br1rq]

chet michael and guys who could work

[@Nobody-br1rq]

Mark Ryan agree Completely, great match, sure as hell my favorite sid match

[@whtevr84]

Thomas Zerbst Sid is the reason that Survivor Series match was great not Shawn, and Shawn's part of the reason why their Rumble match a few months later sucked

[@whtevr84]

Thomas Zerbst I agree, but that match based on the work alone is simply pretty good, it's the atmosphere at MSG, everybody going crazy over Sid and booing Shawn in such an organic way that nobody anticipated is what elevated the match from pretty good to pretty great Everything Sid is doing whether it's babyface stuff like him kipping up and smacking Shawn in response to Shawn smacking him or heel stuff like Sid taking cheapshots and trying to kill Jose Lothario with a tv camera, the crowd pops every single time...so it's clearly Sid making that match what it is

[@whtevr84]

chet michael It's not hypocrisy, it's called not being a simple minded imbecile...you wouldn't know anything about it because your idea of defending your thoughts is to start calling people misspelled insults You have a lot of growing up to do kid

[@144church]

In this same interview Sid talk's about beating the shit out of Brian Pillman at WCW Wrestlewar 91 in the ring and purposely trying to injure Brian when he powerbombed him on his head. It takes a really heartless pos to do that.

[@mrbobevans]

I think I am listening to the greatest softball hitter of all time.

[@fullmetal1766]

The real life sabertooth

[@DrB81]

Sid is looking more like a bagel every day.

[@DrB81]

Mystic Mac fat american. Your cuntry is finished. 🖕

[@1985HotRod]

hahahahaha SHUT THE FUCK UP MAN HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@marc80s]

England's a shithole.

[@takeonparis]

That's how you're SUPPOSED to handle Ric Flair. That's what Scott Steiner should've done. Sid was way greener than Scott was when he wrestled Flair. Scott should've realized what was happening and beat the fuck out of Flair like Vader did. By the time Vader came around people were smartened-up to how Flair would manipulate you in the ring if he felt you were a threat.

[@STEJTHEGREATEST]

3:07 Sounded like Flair was being humble, I think!!!!!!

[@JuniorLewingKoo]

One of my best heel. O like Sid as the heel. He's a natural. He should of destroyed Sting numerous times.

[@tomwalker389]

Sid didn't know beforehand that fellow Horsemen, 6' 6" Barry Windham was gonna be the fake Sting? What.

[@magdy8821]

لقد كان قويا مفتول العضلات ولكنه كان مغرورا ويستعرض كلما طبق حركة مما يعطي فرصة لخصومه من التمكن منه أحيانا ..وهذا أحد أهم أخطائه الغرور والتباطؤ والأستعراض مما يعطي فرصة ذهبية لخصومه من الافلات من حركاته او تطبيق حركة مضادة

[@gohantanaka]

He seems a far cry from the man that terrorized the WCW.

[@TheHannibalTV]

That was over 20 years ago

[@mox19380]

sid was not going to win the title. if he was told this it had to be a lie. they were in the middle of that shitty black scorpion angle so they couldn't take the belt off sting until.

[@davestair3562]

I liked Sid. My sense is that Talent felt threatened by him and bookers didn't know what to do with him. No doubt he brought some demons and short comings to the table but I bet chiefly he just failed to make the right friends and kiss the right asses.

[@hchise22]

I was at that match and thought he had won

[@brianlanceabramson8652]

Him and Stan was the biggest Aryan alive separately speaking they both were. They would have had to change it to make money on other faces.

It’s to bad he didn’t wrestle longer in wwe/ wcw

Sid is disconnected from reality.

[@duddelove9229]

Sid looks like Holly Holm without makeup. Do a side by side if you dont believe me.

[@1985HotRod]

HOW DOES A GUY NOT KNOW THW FINISH OF A QWORLD TITLE MATCH BEFORE OR DURING THE PAY PER VIEW?

[@CavemanJesus4Life]

Well it was WCW.

[@drexlspivey5828]

Is Sid saying he didn't recognise it was actually Barry Windham? Nonsense!

[@josephdelledonne2098]

This guy lies, he didn't know the finish, bull. Also, they weren't ready for Sting to drop the title. They wanted him as the guy, and tried until it was obvious he wasn't drawing. Plus, listen to this guy's ego, Sting said he's got great ideas, he beat the shit out of Flair. In this interview he said he was better than Hogan, and they fired Benoit after he won the world title. They didn't fire Benoit, he quit.

[@martinszoke8558]

Now, I remember Ric Flair, hell everybody remembers Ric Flair, love him or hate him he IS wrestling ...Who the hell are you again????

[@jack0609]

Am I the only one who thought this was Sid Vicious the bassist from Sex Pistols on Sting the lead singer of The Police and idk who the flair guy is i don’t follow wrestling

[@chiefryback7906]

LMAO!!! Glad he beat the shit out of sorry azz Flair.

[@jamesmacgregor3911]

Sid wasn't that big a star. He seems like quite a marmite performer. He didn't have anything special going. You could say his size by you had guys like The Undertaker and Dan Spivey the same size. Dan was the same. Sid would screw up lines, forget what he had to say during promos and he looked so uncomfortable all the time. Watching the matches and segments back - he's cringeworthy. I guess he wasn't that invested in his character.

[@coolguy298]

Sid was awesome. His promos were great and he had a great connection with fans. Taker was more for gimmick. His loyalty and gimmick is what makes him. Taker had many crap matches in the 90s. The matches that stood out were the ones with Michaels and Austin. Taker was below average on mic. Sid did screw in a few interviews. He was a below average worker but did good for his size. But not all. And people remember him for those. It's a pity that people just go through blogs or videos on the net and make perceptions.
