This guy use to get huge pops out of the crowd. His intensity on the mic was just gold. He was also humorous at the wrong times as well. Even when he's suppose to be a heel he gets cheers from the crowd.

I think Sid was having some health issues in 1997 that lead to him leaving, I remember a report going around that he lost a lot of weight at one point and passed out backstage.
This was around the time of the Patriot's feud with Bret Hart, and it's always been my belief that Sid was originally supposed to team with the Patriot instead of having Vader turn face to do it instead, but, I could be wrong. Just my own theory.

Man I use to like his promos. He encouraged me to stand up against kids back in my middle school days. I like the way when someone tells him something wrong and how he gets mad and disagrees with it. Something like I"M TELLING YOU!!! I"M NOT GOING TO SIT HERE AND LISTEN TO YOUR STUPID CRAP THAT YOU HAVE TO SAY!!!!!!

Yeah, I wouldn't call his promos great by any stretch of the imagination, but he had a certain "pissed off country boy" appeal that I just had to mark for. He didn't have to make up any fancy catch phrases (cause lets be honest, he'd forget or screw them up anyway), but he could just scream and rave and I loved it. |

WWF asked him to choose between wrestling and softball. Because, when I form a softball team, the guy I want is the absolutely huge, musclebound freak with the running speed of a tectonic plate. Jed Shaffer ~He is the MASTER! and the RULER! of the UNDERHAND PITCH! |

Something about budget cuts or was it too much red tape?

Well, I doubt they would've taken him back after that sick ankle injury he had.

It really must have been hilarious waching a 6'9" or so muscle bound guy stand in the box at a softball game, his curly blonde mullet sticking out from his helmet.

It's incredible to think about but I am pretty sure officially at one point he was considered ready. But I agree that Sid's "pissed off country boy" persona was a good one. |

It's incredible to think about but I am pretty sure officially at one point he was considered ready. I believe you're correct, but for a while after, I think he had to wear leg protection for a long time. He's lucky that injury wasn't more severe than it was. |

They couldn't launch the women's division with Sid around the bend. The costume designers had to do without scissors. Then the Miss Kitty incident forced VKM to bring back scissors.

Manager: "Sid we're going to have to give you the night off, you've struck out 12 times in a row."
Sid: "Let me tell you something, you stupid little puke! As we stand here, as days have gone by, I get the feeling you really believe these things that you're saying! Now I'm gonna tell you something, boy: you don't give me the night off! You don't give me nothing but respect!"
Powerbombs the manager.

I gotta say... for all the fun we poke at ol' Sid, he had something there. We don't have anyone to yell anymore. |

Sid was coolest right before he started yelling, right when he'd kind of slowly build to angry and was talking all slow, like each word hurt to pronouce. Greatness.
