Loki Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 What a roster WCW had in the early 90s, quite amazing.   Lex Luger and Sid are really the forgotten men of the 90s.  Huge draws, huge stars, over years and in both companies. As fun as modern wrestling and wrestlers are, can you imagine if WWE had access to a Sting, or a Vader, or a Sid now?  Wrestling seems to attract some big men still, but none of them have that spit and sawdust seasoning the old territories/WCW seemed to give their wrestlers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it was great to hear them really love Sid here, they were still very surprised that they did. The lack of love for Sid and Luger across wrestling astonishes me. Thank god for some havens like here that understand. Always enjoyed the two of 'em, right up until the end of days WCW when just about everyone was a fucking disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With hindsight, I love a bit of Lex (OW!!! OH!!!! OOOOAAAAH!!!) but I can see why people didn't like him. Also, I liked Psycho Sid, but in every other incarnation he just looked like someone with super noodle hair. Again, not cool in my opinion. Sid is obviously great looking back with adult eyes though.

Again, not cool in my opinion. Sid is obviously great looking back with adult eyes though. I thought Sid was always cool as fuck. Super Noodle Sid in early 90s WCW is no exception. The moment when he returned to WCW at Slamboree 93 always springs to mind for some reason. It was a nothing match where Col Robert Parker brought Sid back to squash Van Hammer in about 10 seconds but when Sid’s music hits and he walks out, even though he’s aligned with Parker and clearly supposed to be a heel, there’s a big cheer from the crowd and he just looks the absolute bollocks swanning out onto the ramp. Just look at him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
