Highspots have compiled footage from the shoot interviews of the Nasty Boys, 2 Cold Scorpio, Vader and Sid himself explaining the scissor incident.

Watching it now. I like how Knobbs looks like a giant pig and Saggs looks exactly like he did in WCW.

Some questions I have for those who might remember. Because while I was 10 at the time this happened and regularly watched both the WWF and WCW, I don't remember hearing about this until years after it happened.
1. Did this story get a lot of exposure in the British press, especially the tabloids? And if so, did the press have a field day with another guy named "Sid Vicious" being involved in a hotel stabbing?
2. Did they explain away Sid's termination on TV? And if so, did they make up some bullshit storyline to write him off TV, or were they honest (or atleast somewhat honest) that Sid got fired for his role in the scissor fight?
3. I know Sid was filmed with the WCW syndicate TV tapings wearing the WCW World Title belt, but did they formally announce the Sid-Vader Starrcade main event before the stabbing?
4. How'd Flair get into the world title match? And was Flair's career being on the line Flair's idea to motivate himself to win, or Race/Vader's plan to avenge Race Starrcade loss to Flair/Vader wanting to retire Flair as yet another notch on his belt?

I was about 10 when it happened as well, and I remember one of the wrestling magazines of the day with a story about it, it wasn't PWI or anything it was one of the shadier magazines.

One of the shadier magazines. So something with photography by George Napolitano, apartment wrestling ads, and a night on the town with some wrestlers at Scores? |

I know the answer to #2, it was a tag match on Saturday Night right before Battlebowl 93, with Flair/Sid vs. Vader/Austin and Vader with the Colossal Kongs attacked Sid before the match, injuring him and he was helped out of the arena and never mentioned again after that.
Flair got into the title match by winning a previous title match with Vader a month earlier at the Clash by DQ, they had a press conference a week or so after where Flair put up his career vs. Vader's title.

So, Sid can remember everything in detail up until the point where he starts stabbing Arn, then suddenly things go way to fast to remember. carny bullshit.
Flair and Arn got into so many fights protecting each other's job/position through the years, the it is borderline adorable.

I always thought the story was that Sid is a smart guy and can learn from his mistakes. Namely, that bringing a squeegee to attack someone was a stupid idea and that scissors would work much better.

Actually many of the reports mention that he brought a chair and that Arn introduced the scissors to the fight. At some point, Sid either wrestled them away or Arn dropped them. Either way, they were both assaulted with the scissors. Also, there's many holes in the squeegee story, namely who he was going after. First it was supposed to be Brian Pillman, then other stories claim it was Mike Graham...so who knows what really happened. |

The story will ALWAYS be that Sid was so outraged by Pillman that he ran to his room, and then came back with a squeegee, but Pillman was already gone. |

Damn, and I remember four year old me wanting to see Sid/Vader badly. I did dig their Buried Alive match since Sid busted out some different offense.
