Jim Ross who is currently working as a life commentator for the newly founded professional wrestling promotion the All Elite Wrestling on a recent edition of his Grillin JR podcast talked about professional wrestling Legend Sycho Sid who was also known as Sid Vicious. He talked about his time in wrestling and his WWE Championship run. He said;
“Not all sizzle, but I think he was an attraction. Attractions are to be seen seldomly and to be kept in their lane. He was never gonna be a Funk or a Brisco. He was an attraction. He’s like I tried to explain to the writers, he’s like Vader. He’s like Vince’s dad booked Andre. The less you see them, the better off you are.”
“When he won the title, I think that to me was a crescendo for Sid of matches I can recall off the top of my head. And let’s also be honest, he was in there with one of the best ever and it was a long-term storyline that was gonna culminate in the Alamo Dome in Shawn’s hometown. So, all the pieces were already set in place. I think that was probably Sid’s best night. Of course, it was at the Garden, so that always adds a little. The arena always added some value.”
