Paid Members gmoney Posted November 1, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted November 1, 2018 I would put Sid in a category all alone. He is peerless. No one had a more badass, nutcase aura, all the while not being very good at punching. I could watch him ramble bollocks and destroy jobbers all day, every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm being honest, Sid was always a big favourite of mines. He was limited, yes, but what he did he did very fucking well. Was very believable as an unhinged monster in his day.

The King Of Swing Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 JBL ripping on AJ Lee for her tattoo was hilarious. As was her complete lack of self awareness during that shitty "pipe bomb" imitation. AJ Lee was garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know the ECW show he turned up in and the fans went batshit? Always wanted to see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Factotum Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Sid was great. He also got away with looking tough as with such an awful haircut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be thinking of a different Sid. He had a fine barnet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 He was just a legit looking dude with a terrific gimmick. He was perfectly suited to it. I recall him being touted for the role as CM Punk's bodyguard during the Straight Edge Society deal, and they eventually went with Gallows. Sid would have been awesome in that role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted November 1, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted November 1, 2018 That ECW PPV where Sid comes out and murders Spike Dudley is an odd one. You'd think the ECW faithful would have booed the non work rate giant out the building, but they loved the bastard. Screams of joy and jubilance as LSD is hurled around the ring. Probably says more about them than him, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted November 1, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted November 1, 2018 Early 90s Sid is one of the best looks in the history of wrestling. If it wasn't for that last WCW run, I think I'd be sky high on Sid. Always enjoyed him smashing jobbers. Loved him chucking that heel Hogan out of the 92 Rumble. Had a poster of "Sycho" on my bedroom wall. He was the man. Until 99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, ECW wasn't really about 'workrate' - the biggest baby face was Tommy Dreamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work rate really isn't the right descriptor. I'm looking at it from the point that Sid was this cartoony monster figure from the WWF where the Dustmen and Pig Farmers played. Still, that's probably how I just had him pegged at that point. As Cartoony as the WWF was at the time, Sid could slot in during any era and not look out of place. Which in itself is a huge plus and testament to the great man.  Edited November 1, 2018 by Silky Kisser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only just hit me why his finisher was called the "Acid Drop", and that "Little Spike Dudley" was "LSD". I knew the Dudleys' ECW gimmick was that they were basically a gang of pillheads, but I didn't notice the Spike thing until you posted that abbreviation.
