Anyone have more info on this? that's pretty much it. It also lead to an infamous on screen promo that nobody got. During the "relaunch" of WCW when Bischoff stripped Sid of the belt... Sid was angry and glared at Bischoff and Eric responded "What's the matter Sid can't find your scissors?!" to which the crowd didn't react to at all... Assuming they didn't hear him he then replied again "WHAT'S THE MATTER SID CAN'T FIND YOUR SCISSORS?!" to which again the crowd were completely confused at.

They were getting hammered in England on tour and SID said something that Arn took offense with and if I’m not mistaken Arn introduced the scissors and then f***ed around and found out.

I'm guessing Arn forgot his glock that day. Otherwise Sid wouldn't be here today.

30 years ago through my Facebook feed. Sid stabbed Arn several times and Arn almost died, yet they forgave eachother and are on good terms now lol. Anyone have more info on this? It started out at the hotel bar, everybody was drunk and tired from a long flight and Arn and Flair were talking about what was wrong with the business and why they weren’t drawing, when Sid said the problem was they had an old man like Flair who refused to move out of the way and Arn threw beer in his face. Everybody went to there rooms and according to Sid, Arn threatened him with a broken beer bottle in the hallway while he was on his way to his room. So Sid’s temper gets the better of him and he rips the leg off a hotel chair and goes to Arn’s door telling him to come out and try and cut him now. Arn came out, scissors in hand and was actually the one who stabbed Sid first, Sid then got ahold of the scissors and stabbed and beat Arn in return. 2 Cold Scorpio and Vader then broke up the fight and Vader saved Sid’s life by plugging up the stab wound in his stomach. Also according to Scorpio, even though Arn’s room was right next to both Flair and Steamboat’s, neither of them came out to help.

I wonder how Sid felt not getting invited to the Acclaimed "National Scissors Day" celebration in AEW a few weeks ago.
Talk about a softball for a cameo...

Yeah, Sid got stabbed first, but stabbed Arn way more, which was part of why he got fired and not Arn, along with them probably not wanting to upset Flair. Also of note for the story was I remember Scorpio saying Vader was out of his room in just his underwear seeing what was up, and that kind of lending to the chaos to the non-wrestlers. Two bloody guys, a half-naked ginger giant, and all the commotion.

And considering that there's still people who are just learning about it NOW, goes to show how less clever that comment really was. /That or I'm really old and can't wrap my head about this being before a lot of people's times.

Why the f*** would you pick a fight with Sid? Because he has half the brain that you do. The altercation forced WCW to change plans for that year’s Starrcade, as Vader was supposed to defend the world title against Sid. WCW fired Sid after the incident and replaced him with Ric Flair. I often wonder what a match between the former Masters of the Power Bomb would have been like.

It's always weird when there's an incident that you consider such an infamous and integral part of the lore of pro wrestling, and then someone comes along saying "I've never heard of this, give me details". It's like someone saying "hey, I heard Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels had some issues back in 1997, anybody know what that was about?". Makes me feel really old.

Imagine the thread that would have happened if this forum was around back then. Muffins are one thing, but stabbing each other with scissors because Sid didn't like Ric Flair?

It was pre internet and pre Attitude Era BOOM and post Rock N Wrestling era so a down time in wrestling so less likely to hear about it. I only knew about it from an Observer that someone had let me read. I can't recall it being in any of the PWI type magazines. I can't remember if it was this site of Wrestlingfigs but someone made mention of how many PPVs Sid was scheduled for and never made with Starrcade 93 being one of them.

Good thing Arn travelled in the car that didn't have a glock in the glove department that day.
