If Sid never left ECW to return to WCW

[psychokiller]

How do you think his ECW career would have went if he stayed in ECW for a lot longer than he did? Would he have become ECW champ & be unstoppable until someone like RVD beat him? I always wondered what would have happened if he stayed. I understand his reasoning for leaving though since WCW paid him high 6 figure money per year, but it would have been interesting to see what he would have done if he stayed in ECW.

He’d eventually no show and be fired. The end.

lol I knew someone would say that but around this time it seemed he wasn’t doing that at all. I can’t recall any reported incidents of him no showing or trying to get out of any shows in his 1999-2001 run with WCW.

I don't think Sid would've tolerated Heyman not paying him on time or having a check bounce.

If he stayed with ECW? Probably ending up working with/for WWF again in some capacity as quid pro quo for Vince helping Paul E. out, or to try to get ECW some buzz.

I think it would've been better for Sid's career long term, he would've been welcomed back in the wwf after his ecw stint.

He then never goes to wcw and gets his leg broken in a billion pieces in that match.

We would have gotten wrestlings first ever Softball to Hell match.

I would have liked to have seen him during that time. He would have been perfect as muscle for the Corporation, assuming that it didn't merge with the Ministry of Darkness at the time.

WCWs end would’ve been even sadder. He was one thing their crowds got to cheer for in the end. They were actually quite nuclear for him.

I don’t see a behemoth like Sid having very good matches with the comparatively smaller, heavy work rate ECW guys. Had he stuck around I think the fans would have soured on him quickly and he’d have left as soon as a comparable deal got offered elsewhere.

It's not like ECW was work rate city tho

You have Sid go in there and f*** shit up, talk shit to the fans and that's all you need

[lildude8218]

Paul would've asked him to job to Spike Dudley

[thegatewaydrug]

Paul: Here's what I'm paying you tonight for the show...

Sid: 22?!? Ahh man...!

[fw91]

he would've taken so many chair shots to the head, that he'd only have 1/4 the brain that we do.

"If I may good sir, the checks were sent on a wrong flight and that's why I don't have them with me."

Actually that was a real excuse Heyman once used, he never explained how it was possible that the checks went to the wrong airport. Paulie a real stand up guy...

Im bad with timelines but around that same period wouldn’t they have had Mike Awesome doing topes and letting himself get tossed around the ring by Tanaka? After that I don’t think the fans were going to pop for a power bomb with theatrics.

[chronocross]

I'd give him the World Title.

Sid was insanely over in the run he had. Awesome I think just gotten there at the same time. We are talking I think late 98 early 99 before he returned to WCW in the Summer. Sid for what lack of in ring talent he had was always massive over for whatever reason.

Where was Sid for most of 1998?

[2coldMack is even more baffled]

He did the Memphis company that sprouted up after USWA folded, and a couple of NWA shows, such as they were in 1998.
