Sid Eudy “Sycho Sid” / “Sid Justice” / “Sid Vicious”
Still one of my favourite wrestlers of all time — the dude was huge and you could really believe he was a proper psycho, especially when you read about him stabbing Arn Anderson with scissors twenty times in a real-life hotel room brawl. Ouch. He was a monster of a bloke that managed to top the industry in the days before the “You can’t wrestle” chant had been invented — lucky guy. (Please don’t stab me with scissors if you read this, Sid).
Dubya-C-Dubya was a crappy organisation run by egomaniac wrestlers — writers should write, wrestlers should wrestle. The same way actors should act and directors should direct, someone please tell Adam Sandler. The WCW management decided that Sid should perform some aerial moves, which isn’t an easy thing for a 6’9” 300lbs man — plus he really didn’t feel comfortable doing them. You can see where this is going.
January 2001 — Sid performs a big boot jumping off the second rope. That means his one leg is going to take all 300lbs of pressure upon landing. Result — obvious.
