Has Arn Anderson ever commented on the fight with Sid?

[psychokiller]

I can’t seem to find any comments from him about it but only from Sid & a bunch of other wrestlers. I just wanted to hear his own take about what happened.

[Kevin Dunn]

Is that the one that he used a squeegee ?

No that was the thing with Brian Pillman. The Sid/Anderson fight was with the scissors.

while looking for this I did find the PSA Arn did warning kids about steroids www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmmaBbFLMLk

Why would he? It was a one sided beat down and if it wasn't for 2 Cold Scorpio pushing Sid away, Arn would've died.

Are commented on it in one of his shoots. Both him and Sid have basically said it was a dumb thing they both regret immensely. I believe they've also apologized to one another since they had a working relationship later in WCW.

Both guys were seriously drunk. Sid either introduced a chair or a leg of a chair to the fight, Arn brought the scissors. Once Arn lost control of the scissors after stabbing Sid a couple times, then yeah it became one sided pretty fast.

Yeah, a lot of people don't realize that the narrative at the time that Sid "attacked Arn with scissors" and nearly stabbed him to death wasn't exactly the way things went down. Because people appreciated Arn as a good wrestler, and Sid was... Sid... Arn was portrayed as the babyface in the whole thing, when in fact it was Arn that first tried to attack Sid with scissors to begin with, and Sid was just defending himself.

That said, it says something about both men that, in a fight, they will both try to straight-up murder another person.

Which I guess is why they fired Sid but, not Arn.

Arn certainly did start it when he was throwing broken beer bottles at Sid, after Sid voiced his displeasure of the company because of Flair. Choice words were said, but Arn was the one who decided to get physical first.

That said, Sid didn't let things cool down. He did go to Arn's room with a weapon. I wouldn't be surprised if Arn didn't arm himself as a result, but he didn't need to answer his door. So many opportunities for things to cool down.

Apparently Sid put the chair leg down before Arn answered the door. I definitely hold more accountability on Arn because of how things went, but it doesn't absolve Sid of blame for going to his room afterward. I'm just thankful both guys made it out alive and regret it.

Yeah, it got seriously f***ed up. I know Vader and Scorpio chalk it up to the trip being utterly miserable and it taking its toll on both guys, along with being drunk as hell, but that doesn't change how terrifying that is that both had the capacity to kill that night.

I think it was because Arn had more clout politically in WCW. Ric and others threatened to walk if Sid remained in the company.

Apparently Mike Graham took the squeegee away from Sid and told him to leave because he was embarrassing himself.

Man Mike Graham would rather climb a tree and lie than stay on the ground and tell the truth.

I would normally say that exact same thing but Barry Windham and Meltzer corroborated that story.

I still don't believe that Mike came up with all the ideas to save wcw though lol.

Also Graham stated it wasn't a squeegee, it was an ice scraper, which makes a little more sense considering Sid just went out to his car. He didn't run over to a gas station or something.

[Ron Woodsman aka Shempaholic]

I remember once during a Mike Graham match Jim Ross referred to Graham as "Squeegee Man".

Broke 1000 squeegees, never drew a dime.

I think the bad blood actually started from the stupid squirrel bet.
