Isn't there a story about Sid getting into a fight with a much smaller wrestler (Dean Malenko?) in a bar and Sid going to his car and getting an umbrella as a weapon cause he was afraid to fight him? I remember reading something like that where he talked a lot of trash and tried to intimidate a smaller wrestler in a bar and when that didn't work got an umbrella or something from his car to use as a weapon.

He and Arn Anderson got into I think.  A pair of scissors was involved.

he was given plenty of pushes, he was both wwe and wcw world champion and he main evented wrestlemania 8 and 13

he was big and had a good look, outside of that he didn't have much going for himself

E

All he needed was being big and having a look to him.  Monster heels normally don't have an amazing arsenal of moves. 

He was used mostly as a transitional champ.  He should have been a long term world champ at a time when the company was hurting for credible heels after losing Flair.

Sid had a squeegee before the scissors.

He went to Andersons room to have it out with him about some disrespect earlier on. He ditched a weapon he took but anderson came at him with scissors. Sid stabbed him 18 times i think it was, Arn stabbed him deep in the stomach, vader saved his life by sticking his thumb in the wound.

Sid loved softball tournaments. That’s all he was probably thinking during the Shockmaster promo. “If I do a really good job in one take, we’ll get out of here early, so I can hit the diamond before it gets dark outside.”

Once we go net zero they will only have sand...

I am almost completely certain that you're right.

Initiatives towards reducing "climate change" will become the new paradigm and here in the USA (with the Saudis getting cozy with China + Russia) we will either deplete our own supply of oil reserves, drill at home, exploit South American countries for oil OR push forth towards a "greener" future with renewables sources of energy and carbon emissions reductions/monitoring.

World Economic Forum + White House + United Nations are ALL pushing for this and I have no doubt it's going to happen, but you never know.

Is Calibre Fitness swooping in with a hostile takeover?

Vinny Mac is one of the closest people IRL to Logan Roy. He keeps punking his kids just like Logan.

Didn't stop the LIV golf tour.

The Saudis went all out to sign the PGA golfers, start the tour and then worried about broadcasting deals.

They could buy the WWE and then sell the broadcasting rights to a global streaming service like Netflix. Might as well start their own sports entertainment streaming service.

This is fake news. Nothing is set in stone. But I hear that Bunkhouse Buck and Dewight Yankem D.D.S. are now on the payroll and ready for a Wrestlemania debut.

I was thinking it would be a good idea to instead of being able to cash in MITB briefcase any given time to book in advance a title match but only the person who won the briefcase gets to use it as a weapon against their opponent the whole match

What if you were able to cash in the MITB briefcase and you could purchase the WHOLE company?!

Sid was over but he ended up being his own worst enemy, leaving company’s when he was at the peak of his push.

I know that is what they did in the territory days, but the behavior didn’t work with only 2 options.

Hogan sounded the worst. Would rarely put anyone over and talked behind your back to change matches. Oh, and his lies are amazing. What a hotdog-skinned loser with his ugly loser son who vegetabled his friend.

Sid had the look.  He had the size.  He had the power.  He had the believable aggression and intensity.  He was good on the mic.  He didn't need a big skill set because to be honest, that works against the entire monster heel mold.  He could have easily been a type of Bruiser Brody maniac that was marketed to the moon and elevated lower faces.  But instead everyone seemed to drop the ball.

At the end of one WCW run, he interviews were hilarious.  There was a youtube spot where he said that he knew he didn't have a future in the company and so he didn't give a shit any more and was out there having fun.
