hock: That hurts just watching :lol:
Sid Eudy, the big muscled up clod in that video, has a great story.
Nothing funny about that night though. He snapped his leg so badly that he still walks with a cane more than six years later. It was attributed to steroids weakening the muscles in his leg.
But here are three funnier Big Sid tales about how he earned three different nicknames the boys used to call him behind his back:
Scissors Sid: In 1993, WCW (Ted Turner's old outfit) were touring England. Sid and another wrestler named Arn Anderson (much older and smaller than Sid) got into a brawl in a bar. They were seperated, and forced back to their hotel rooms. Sid showed up at Arn's door at 4am and said he wanted to apologize. When a groggy Arn let him in, Sid attacked him with a pair of scissors. Somehow, nobody was hurt seriously, but it was Sid who ended up with the most puncture marks. Sid was fired. Score one for Arn.
Squeegee Sid: In 1991, During another altercation with a wrestler (Sid just can't play nice) Brian Pillman, who is 5'11, 215lbs to Sid's 6'6, 275lbs, got on Sid's bad side. Sid left the bar, and then returned a few minutes later. Apparently, he had gone to a gas station, because he was now swinging a squeegee at Pillman. The other wrestlers jumped on, and nobody was hurt. Sid was fired. Score one for Brian.
Softball Sid: In 1996, Sid was the WWF world champion, which means most shows were built around him, and he was in the main event at arena shows touring the country. It also meant the biggest pay days in the business. Sid actually skipped out on title defences so that he could play softball with his West Memphis Arkansas local squad. This wasn't the first time either. Years earlier, Sid had been (surprise, surprise) fired by Vince McMahon for no-showing gigs to play softball. This is a major reason (along with his leg) why Sid is no longer in the wrestling business.
Interviewing wrestlers, it was always easy to bring a smile to their faces by bringing up Sid. Everybody had a Sid story.
