Sid just signed a deal with the Jakks Classic Superstars line.
Does anyone know if he's capable of wrestling anymore? I remember he broke his leg in WCW and he hasn't been heard of much since. Is he physically able to wrestle? Is he too old for a short WWE comeback? If he is, would Vince want him or is he considered old news? I could see a Sid-Batista showdown. What do you all think?

I might be interesting to see, but I don't think it would happen even if Sid was healthy enough to wrestle.

I think he has worked a couple of Indy shows in the past two years.

Sid returned to wrestling in 2004, but I have no clue if he still is.
He's like 46 right now, and with a bad leg, so he's probably way worse than the horribleness he once was...

Actually last I heard Sid, really, really wants to have one last run in the WWE. So much so, that he's even given up on the Indys as he says that he is just lessening himself by not competing on as grand a stage as he could for his run. If you read the Pro Wrestling Mystery's Solved (I think that waas the title) by the Get in the Ring guys its actually pretty sad. According to Sid when he was in wCW he was actually planning to retire and he had all of his going away storyline planned out, then the leg injury happened. Of course Sid could be fullof guff, but I personally don't think he is.
I'm pretty sure he's still having some trouble with his leg, though I'm not positive. After all with that kind of injury some lingering effects must be expected. So this may affect his in-ring performance. If some of the other guys they brought back can do it though, I wouldn't mind seeing a a final stint from Sid in the WWE.

I wouldn't mind him as a special referee. But I don't think he should wrestle again.
And this is coming from a Sid fan.

he probably still looks the same, and I think he can still wrestle, just keep him off the top rope

He signed a deal with Jakks? that's awesome, i had no idea about that! Sid triple pack with Sid Justice (blue shorts) Sycho Sid (black trunks, waistcoat) and WCW sid (jean shorts) would be the greatest figure line in the history of the planet.
As above, i'd like to see him back for one last run as some sort of enforcer type role, but i dunno about seeing him wrestle, with the damage he did to his leg it could ruin a lot of memories!

I'd love to see him come back just to powerbomb the shit out of Shawn Michaels one last time.

Even at 46 Sid might have something left.As long as he stays away from Aerial(no not the plastic boob ecw vampire wannabe) moves.
Batista is 40, Finlay Near 50, David Taylor late 40's, Boogeyman is 40, Flair late 50's, HBK 44,Etc.
Sid might not have had the best moveset but he always made a impact(No not TNA impact) anywhere he went.
Besides it would be great to see sid pushing strechers into ring poles again.

I am curious if there any legal deals when Sid was calling himself "Sid Vicious". Would be cool if he had a Sex Pistols song in his theme during his tenture in WCW.

If Kevin Nash can stink up the place by standing in the middle of the ring and doing bugger all while his opponent flings himself around the place to make it look like Nash is wrestling, then I'm sure Sid can do likewise.

Since Sid is an ex-WWE champion, it would only benefit WWE to still have a relationship with him. At this point in his career, a full fledged return is unlikely, but it's be nice to match him up against Batista or Lashley or another big guy. What about Kane? Kane doesn't have any plans for WrestleMania.
I think it'd be cool to have Sid in a relationship with WWE so that he could comment on upcoming DVDs or induct someone into the Hall of Fame, or other P.R. type work. He wasn't the best, but his impact in the 90's and early 2000's cannot be ignored.

The tool inside of him prevented him form making a huge impact. Very similar to Lex Luger, I think.

I'd love to see Sid back one last time, was always a fan.
And to anyone who thinks Sid wasn't an impactful or dominant champ, name me anyone else who defeated Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart in back to back PPV world title matches. This is a "beating Rock and Austin in one night (Jericho)" level achievement that is totally overlooked.
