The First WWF run of SID - Sid Justice

Yes. Multi time world champion in both wwe & wcw, main evented wrestlemania twice One of the coolest wrestlers ever, he was over everywhere he went. Hopefully they induct him in 2025

Cool story that RVD told recently as tribute to Sid. He mentioned this squash match and how Sid was very appreciative after the match for helping to make him look good. He gave both RVD and the other guy $20 as a thank you, saying it wasn't much but it'd get them a bit further down the road. RIP to one of the best big men ever in wrestling.

[@leonarddillon256]

The most ignored multi-promotion World Champion of all time!! The body of work of the man that rules the world lasted from the peak of the Hulkamania era to the tail end of the Monday Night Wars. Sid's been a draw and main eventer in two of WWF's Wrestlemanias and WCW's final Starrcade. He's the first wrestler that made a world title change against Bret Hart before Wrestlemania 13 on an non-PPV episode of RAW, encouraged the Shock Master to break through a paper-thin wall, first person to eliminate Hogan in a Royal Rumble, had the second longest undefeated streak behind Goldberg in his final run in WCW, ECW's only undefeated wrestler, and for crying out loud he broke he fibula and tibula doing a top rope big boot that killed any drawing power WCW had. It pisses me off how this man contributed so much for WWF and WCW and I was singing high praises about him months before he passed away. Now those same haters of Sid that discredit his body of work are now praising him, similar to how people made fun of Michael Jackson before his death are now saying MJ's the greatest of all time, pretending what they said against them never really happened. I'm glad that I didn't let what WWE's propaganda machine or internet wrestling community says about Sid as truth. I know he's every bit of an unsung hero of American pro wrestling, up there with Big Van Vader, Ravishing Rick Rude, and so many more. RIP Sid! You're one of my favorite giant badass heels of all time and you'll be forever missed!

[@arostwocents]

Sid was never a big draw for WCW. He was on the level of Steiner/Booker but below Flair and above Jarrett. Set to be a top guy moving forward but then he had the injury and WCW ended. In the 90s people thought his matches were boring, there were MANY slow big guys at the time - thats how the injury came about as he was pressured to do something more interesting and memorable 😢 Without the injury, would he have been in TNA? 😮

I'd like to know why he thought it was a title match. Hogan didn't come down with a belt. The announcers would never say anything to indicate it's a title match. Every decent wrestling fan with any knowledge back then knows who was WWF champion when and where. How do you make a mistake like this?

[@ItsAVolcano]

Sid getting bigger pops and being cheered over Hogan at the Rumble would be edited by the WWE in replays to hide how over he was.😑

[@NJ973201]

Yup, it was only in replays on their TV shows that they dubbed over it with fake boos and redone commentary but they left it alone on all home videos (not counting Invasion 92 which had the TV version during a Flair segment). Funny enough, the Anthology DVD/Network version is probably the best presentation since they kept both live PPV & Coliseum Video VHS promos (see why Hogan & Flair had two on that show).

[@punkem733]

They did that a lot. Jake the snake was getting bigger pops at house shows. They cut their feud short, and never went through with a storyline. They didn't want to make their cash cow look bad.

[@kevenrules]

I always like how sid how 2 or 3 different kinda powerbombs. He had a normal but devastating looking one with the way he puts extra force into them on the way down. He had a jackknife one where you get them up and just let go and let gravity do its thing. And then that falling with them one

[@theghostreckon316]

I’ve said it many times already in other videos, but Sid should’ve won the 92 royal rumble, Hulk Hogan is a man-baby that doesn’t know when to lose and he refused to give Sid the glory, at the end of the day Sid got him back when he kicked out in the botched leg drop.

People should have been kicking out of that sad excuse for a finisher long before that. The leg drop as a finisher should have stopped being a thing in the late 70s the latest. Im aware of the People's Elbow but at least that finish usually followed a more impactful move.

@@jonbourgoin182 Agreed, and wrestlers' would actually sell the People's Elbow, since you were able to.

[@Trustme77]

In his Mania match against Hogan, what happened was that Hogan hit the leg drop and the plan was for Papa Shango to break it up for the DQ. Except Shango missed his cue and didn't get to the ring in time, so Sid decided the best thing for him to do was kick out instead of letting the ref count three. I think that's when Harvey climbed in the ring and the match got thrown out because it was supposed to end in a DQ anyway.
