Adam Turner Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I still wonder what that 2007 run he was petitioning for would have looked like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeRobertsParoleOfficer Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 In one of his shoots from around that period he was saying he had this 'god' kinda gimmick like the ancient pharaohs thing he was working on. He wasn't keen on returning as the same 'Sid' again. From what I remember the gimmick sounded like bad 1995 wwe if I'm honest. Sid was/is best doing what he does best: Being huge Loozing like a psycho Squashing guys Anything else is just a waste really. Must admit have a soft spot for guys like Sid/Vader etc and mark out like a b***h when they re-appear. Always loves the promos where he'd jus spontaneously piss himself laughing. Guy played lunatic very well (maybe too well as he's not exactly Pacino is he). Always had that convincing 'in the eyes' thing going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannibal Man Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 According to a Kevin Owens shoot from before he split for NXT he talks about how Sid wrestled in Canada for IWS as part of a tag rumble, must have been around the same time he was proposing that mental God/time travel gimmick because after winning the rumble he apparently decided to take out about half an hour of everybody's time to explain how he was in possession of a 'cosmic key' that would unlock the secret to inter dimensional travel, and what he brought out to represent it, again going by what Owens said, was two water jugs from an office style water cooler sellotaped together at the holes. He waved it about and spoke about it and basically wouldn't shut up for a period of time long enough to see him go from the most over guy of the night to people just wanting rid of him as fast as possible The footage has never been released, but I asked on Twitter years ago and it does exist somewhere. Half an hour of that mental bastard talking about a fucking cosmic water jug is up there with Hart/Magee in terms of most wanted wrestling footage.

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted August 25, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted August 25, 2017 He would have gone from the master and ruler of the world to master of time and space. That would have been quite the expansion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnybgoode82 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 He's just buried Owens and Shinsuke in a shoot interview. Kept referring to him Owens as 'the fat guy in a t-shirt'. Quote I see people like Kevin Owens and this Yakamora guy, and these other people like this. When I see that, I’m going, ‘Business has gotta be bad, or they’re at a point where they don’t care.’ That’s all I know.” But he's got a soft spot for the old Roman Empire Quote “I think he’s one of the better talents they’ve got. He looks credible, he looks good, [he’s] a good interview. And if we’re gonna compare him to anybody, let’s just compare him to the last guy you said, the fat guy in the T-shirt, Kevin Owens. There’s no comparison. I think he’s light years ahead of that guy.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members garynysmon Posted August 31, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted August 31, 2017 To be honest, his comments about Kevin Owens are what I'd expect from most anyone who used to like wrestling but don't watch WWE nowadays. I think his look is pretty odd myself. Too out of shape to be a wrestler's wrestler, but not enough in stature to be a big man, or even fat ala Typhoon.

David Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Yeah, you need to remember that Sid is old school when it comes to wrestling. He still buys into the classic idea of what a wrestler should look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
