In all fairness, the man did well in all three of his runs in two different companies, which is an uncommon achievement. Outside of the mega powers and the road warriors I can't think of anyone who did something like that (I am very much open to correction on that one). Even Ric Flair, the greatest wrestler in the sport, didn't have comparable sucess in his WWF run. However, Sid's not one of the icons of the sport by any means. A few years back, I compared him to Brock Lesner, as someone who had all of the tools and was sucessful, but never made an imprint on the sport, probably due to lack of tenure. He had 5 runs didn't he actually and did well in all. WCW late 80's till 91. WWF 91-92. Back to WCW 92-94. Back to WWF 95-97. Back to WCW 98-00. |

Ah, the yearly "Sid return" thread. Only this time in TNA instead of WWE. Has he had a WWE logo on his site for those previous occasions? Jericho also had the TNA logo on his website for a few weeks when he was out of the WWE. |

Maybe he could be hired to be Brock Samson.

Sid was awesome and had a strong presence back in the 90's.
Hopefully he makes an impact on, well, iMPACT.

I hope he shows up, and gets more than just a one-off appearance.

I was hoping he'd end up back in WWE.
*crosses fingers* I want a short productive run in TNA where he looks good and makes his opponents look good....then for him to jump to WWE. kinda like Jeff Hardy.

Sid = awesome. Multiple time world champ. He's the most credible legend that TNA could bring in right now for this program sans Hogan or Flair.
All Sid has to do is power bomb somebody to get a pop. Remember his run in ECW?! Pure awesome. The man is just instantly over for reasons of cosmic alignment. Might be dumb as a brick.. might have tried to kill Arn Anderson... and MAYBE had a squirrel bite his nuts... but over as hell.
Plus if he never broke his leg, he probably would've been in the WWE after the WCW buyout and had another big run.
