For all the flag I've heard of the wrestlers give about Sid and every interview like this I've seen him and he seems to be one of the most down-to-earth real and humble people in the business. Seems like a great human being blessings to him and his family.
This is now, that was then. People change. Sid obviously very much for the better.
For sure. He just doesn't get all hyped up and talk up stories more than what they were. Just very matter of fact
The wrestling business can definitely warp people's views of reality. Sometimes being away from it is all a person needs
Sid is an absolute class act!!!
I always liked Sid as a performer. He was a good and very believable heel.
R.I.P Big Van Vader✌️
Never seen Sid interviewed in his normal state. Seems like a humble friendly classy guy.
Sid sounds like just a good guy. He speaks nothing but truth. A solid dude
Some people make smart remarks about Sid, this just showed the humbleness of a man and how much he really thought of his friend Leon. I thought this was a good interview snippit.....
JMReeves70 he’a calmed down a lot. Used to really be a handful but pieces of this shoot is popping up all over CZcams and he’s calmed down.
He's a class act isn't he.
@@60BloodyChamp60 Sid interviews have always been this way. I think you are confusing his character with his real-life persona. Sid has always been a chill, laid-pack, humble guy.
Most big men won't admit when they can't lift something. Sid tells the truth.
Shouldn't it be fucking obvious?
@@chadgray5872 🤣🤣🤣👌
Vader was super obese
@@alphatrion100 Vader played as a center in the NFL so I don't think "obese" is the right term. There was a lot of muscle under that fat. Obese-people can't do perfect moonsaults off of the top-rope. It takes tremendous-athleticism to do that.
@@D2Kprime No he was fat. You can have muscles and be fat.
Sid has become a Shoot Sage in his latter years. 100% class, and appreciation for the men he worked with, whether Heel or Baby Face.
He was huge back then
Beautiful comment even the guys who have made negative comments about him. He still speaks in respectful tones I think he got a bad rap seems like a stand up guy
He always was a class act. I didn't care for his character ever. Nothing special to me, but a true professional always. I admire that for sure
He slags of brett he had no draw or talent
@@ricogonzalez7508 I live close to him. I used to do landscaping back in the late 90's early 2000's. He had just had heart surgery, then a couple months later had his knees and a hip worked on. This guy calls me up and tells me that word around town is that I'm really good and that I do whatever I can to make a customer happy. We talked and he explained why he couldn't do the work himself. Well, someone needed help. I was going to cut the guy a deal. I showed up to give him a quote and Sid rolls out in a wheel chair. That was back in the late 90's. When he is in town, I still get phone calls twice a year or so, where he wants me to come look at something and give him an opinion and a quote. I keep telling him that I don't do landscaping anymore but this guy just doesn't like to hear it lol. As far as him personally goes, he's not the type to BS you to spare feelings. He just tells it how he sees it. Most of the time we get along great when we aren't going through the part where I tell him I haven't been in landscaping in more than 20 years. "You did some work for me last summer". "I told you every summer for more than 20 years that I don't do landscaping anymore". "Well when are you gonna be here to check this out for me?" "See you this afternoon around 5". Even though I have changed my number many times over the years, he still always has it lol. If I didn't like him so much, I would never do landscaping again lol.
Hall of fame for SID, nuff said.
YES!
Sid has said the hall of Fame Doesn't mean anything
Fuck the Hall of Fame
Period
Definitely deserves the HOF
I agree. Leon was a really nice guy. I met him in the ring for a handshake and autograph and was short on cash and was going to be escorted out of ring and being the nice person he was he told them.."give the brother what he wants"...i was asked and i told them all I wanted was a autograph and a handshake..and that i got.😊👍That is what happened from the best of memory.
I will never forget Sid's promo's against Hulk Hogan in the early 90's! He was so intense and made it believe it was real. Psychology!
Spetsnaz Pocomaxa I don't care.....I don't give a damn about the memories of Hulk Hogan.....the only thing to remember is that Sid Justice is the man that ended Hulkamania....now you you Hogan, I curse you...I curse you and every Hulkamaniac...because I, because I rule the world!
his greatest promo ever boy was he a freak!
@@joec3568 I totally forgot about that promo. Thank you for that memory from childhood.
Sid was terrifying as a heel. One of my favorites from the early 90s.
sid is one of my all time favorites
As a kid I always thought Sid was the scariest dude ever. Legend 👍
What super nice guy and doesn't speak badly about anyone. Just humble and a nice guy, loving his life!
RIP, Sid.
Nice tribute from Sid to Vader. They really had some epic matches as I recall.
Watched him train at our gym in Augusta. He done shoulder flies with 90 lb dumbbells and shoulder presses with 315 for reps. What a beast
You seem to have a great rapport with Sid. Your interviews with him are some of your very best.
Sid is by far my favorite guy to hear talk. He's like the only guy that isn't self-aggrandizing and trying to make himself look like the best ever.
Vicious great wrestler very very underrated
yea people say the undertaker vs sid at wm wasn't good but I enjoyed the match probably my fav match with him.
@@oriondx72 I agree. It wasn't the best but it was entertaining enough. Especially seeing Undertaker have his moment in the spotlight. Or darkness rather.
R.I.P BIG VAN VADER will always ne missed and thanks sid for being a stand up guy and respect for your friend Vader and liked watching wcw and made wrestling more interesting R.I.P to all wrestlers up to now have passed and thanks for all the great matches all the wrestlers gave us
RIP vader and bam bam. bam bam is the most athletic big man I ever seen like 400 pounds and doing a moonsault course vader did the same thing both legends!
Always was a big Sid fan. When I first started watching wrestling, he was in the Horsemen. He’s the perfect example of a wrestler who didn’t have to do 90 flips and dives to get over. He was more over in his day than any current wrestler is. I really enjoyed watching these Hannibal interviews with Sid. Maybe more so than any of the others. I don’t understand the people who bury Hannibal as an interviewer. He’s great in his own way.
Rest in peace big van vader, oh and also psycho sid you're the man would love to meet you someday
I remember when LT "tried" to power-bomb Bam Bam at *_Wrestlemania XI_* and it turned into a gutwretch-suplex basically. I was surprised he as able to even do _that._
Sid being larger and probably stronger, it's amazing that he can say that he couldn't powerbomb guys in the weight-class of a Vader, Typhoon, Earthquake, Bam Bam, etc. Shows that he is a genuine-dude. He's always been one of my favorites.
RIP Sid
Sid you still look rip man I can see it just in your face brother
I have a Sid story.
When I was kiddo almost 25 years ago. I pumped iron. I'm still strong. But, I haven't worked out in at least 15 years. But, at that time in my teens. I could leg press over 600lbs. And curl 90 with one arm. But, some of dudes I worked out with made me look small. They were even taller than I am and I'm 6'4". So, these guys were monsters. They were Massive humans. Probably the biggest guy of all. Was a bouncer in a high end club in Atlanta. You have to be tough to bounce in Atlanta. I know I did it. I hated it.
So, that dude came in one day. He was fucked up. He looked like he had been in a car wreck. His eye was swollen shut. And, had really bad bruises all over his face and head. I asked him what the fuck happened to you? So, it turns out Sid was at his club. They had to kick him out. Sid got pissed and beat the living shit out of him. And, the two other bouncers. I always hear wrestlers say Sid not that tough. And, this guy or that guy beat sid up. They are absolutely full of shit. And, lying. Sid was tough as nails. When he was angry he was an unstoppable monster.
Love you Sid!!! Thanks for all the gr8est memories!!!!
Dude is humble enough to admit he couldn’t powerbomb Vader- no excuses. Strong enough yeah but how do you get your arms around guys that big
Sid's one of my favorites to just listen to them talk about the stuff we watched as kids
I met Sid as kid at local high school he was so cool he wrestled Lex luger for US Belt ..I didn't know VADER had passed..Hannibal your Awesome
Sid still looks scarily tough!
Arindam S. Roy
Love Sid. But he never was.
What a fantastic guy! I'm sure its not possible but I would have loved to hear his take on the Mike Graham situation. Keep up the good work Hannibal
God bless you Sid, you're a goat. Great heel, great man.
When he got real? He said, Leon. We all miss that guy. My favorite was Big Van Vader's heel run in WCW. It was so believable he could squash Sting at that time.
HELLO MR VISOUS I HAVE BEEN A FAN FOUR YEARS THANK ALL YOU GUYS BUT WRESTLING TODAY ANT. WHAT IT WAS WHEN YOU GUYS AN HOGAN. WAS there THANK YOU GUYS FOR ALL THE YEARS Iam a big fan thanks.
Roy Dishman
Visous?
John O'Brien ...What you said made even less sense than what he said.
@@johnobrien1528 ...What you said made even less sense than what he said.
Sid just tells it how it is,great guy respect!!
Vader (Leon White) was a heck of an athlete especially for his size
Sid need to be in the Hall of Fame
Sid always got the best audience reactions. Fans love Sid. Sid rules!!!!!
Rest in peace Vader
Bless Sid's heart...r.i.p Mr vader
Sid tells things straight up.
Sid was the definition of “IT Factor”.
He was the perfect "heel."
Sid rules the world! I enjoy watching Sid perform!
Sid viscous... badass !
If the story is true, Sid may owe his very life to vader for plugging and keeping pressure on the stab wound that he received during the infamous Arn and Sid fight when they were in WCW.
It's actually a miracle both Sid and Arn are even still alive after that incident. Especially Arn.
Steve Austin confirmed the plugging, he was sitting at the same bar as Vader. However Sid did not remember it.
RIP Vader. 🙏
RIP Sid.
Vader was a big time heel with a very good gimmick who rose to perform in main event matches. Not all wrestlers attained that level and he was even champ. It is about business and selling tickets and TV ratings, pay per views. Many guys thought they were Main Event category. Many either were not or worked with those who were so they mistakenly thought they were. Vader and Sid scared people with their appearance and that tenacity.
Sid for Hall of Fame
Love Vader when he first came into WWE. He was massive and quick on his feet. I thought for sure they was gonna put the strap on him and have him rule. He had the look of a heel champion like Yokozuna. WWE really drop the ball and lost out on this good talent.
Blame hbk for that he didn't wanna drop the title for Vader, Austin and bulldog.
Sid is a legend!
Vader kind of reminded me of Sid . They had similar intensity
sid talking about pat patterson had me lmao "i got the big son of a bitch in a waist lock! " LOL
Woww My First Time Hearing Sid talk
Sid seems cool enjoyed watching his matches
Sid and vader couldve been the best tag team heels in the world
Who’s the man it’s Vader time time time timeeeee!
Sid Vicious best heel ever
Dude! This was my question!
I really enjoyed Sid Vicious in WCW and really geeked out when he showed up in WWF as Sid Justice. He was fun to watch and you always knew he was probably going to kick someone's a**.
Sid really was a big guy that could move around very well.
Lovely man ,.
Sid's personality is so different from his character. A lot of guys take some aspect of their personality and exaggerate it a ton, but I don't see any part of the constantly angry oaf when Sid does shoot interviews. So calm and levelheaded and humble. Comes across as a good worker that wanted to do well for himself so he could raise a family.
one of my faves -
I was so happy and excited when I was little and my fam found me a Sid Vicious Figure! I believe I have a WWF and WCW version!
Sid seems like a good dude
Sid is an awesome guy!
Leon was one of if not THE BEST big men wrestler too have graced the squared circle. And i should stress here when i say "big man" i'm NOT referring too height. It's the things Leon could do at his WEIGHT that awed the hell out of me. The same goes for Scott Bigelow AKA Bam Bam Bigelow. And it's a no wonder the two of them were IWGP tag team champions at one point in their careers. RIP too both of them.
Sid vicious; a real straight upfront guy. He does not embellish and states his views matter of factly. He's not full of himself and does not make himself better than anyone during the time he was in the wrestling business. He seems to be a genuinely nice guy unlike his wrestling persona which could tear you apart..
He's an Honest man..still remember leon on boy meets world ..good actor.
RIP sid
Sid was awesome in the 80s an 90s great wrestler. rem when he snapped his leg during a match against big papa pump wow .
Vader truly was one of the Stiffest Workers in the ring!
Wow you gotta respect his respect for those in.
I seen him on an entrance with my uncle at a house show i flashed a V n he smiled nodded n put two v's up n yelled ITS VADER TIME!!!!! Shit you just never fucking forget as a kid man! Say what you will about pro wrestling but 90's pro wrestling live events were so much fun!
I am a fan of sid.
During Sid second run in the WWF when he will come down to the ring as a face and give all the fans a fist bump shit used to be so intense and dope he's the master and ruler of the world and should be in the damn Hall of Fame
It's to bad his run in early 90's WWF didn't last long. He could have been the greatest heel of all time!!🤔🤔🤔
He had a good run in WCW also, he was a top heel there too.
Honest and personable
The Greatest, Big Sid Justice
Respect to Sid for admitting he couldn't do the powerbomb on certain people, eliminating a possible injury to the other wrestler or himself. Unlike Nash with Big Show.
Nash actually did it on big show thou too. The souled out one thou errrrr.//
@@theman6705 Nash botched that though, so it's not like it was a safely done powerbomb, it looked like Wight actually landed awkwardly on his neck when he landed.
That's probably why Sid didn't want to do it on heavy guys like Earthquak, Typhoon, Vader etc, you have to know you limit, something Nash probably didn't give a shit about.
Sid Vicious- the guy whom the creators of The Venture Bros based Brock Samson on!
Hall of Fame💯🙌🏼😌
Sid is one of the nicest guys I've seen interviewed. Intelligent too.
But he said he had only half the brain Kevin Nash does.
Vader saved his life in hotel bar by stopping Sid from losing blood after arn stabbed him with the scissors
He Powerbombed Bam Bam Bigelow. It was a bit awkward but he did it
I can't believe he was actually able to Powerbomb Shawn Michaels
He powerbombed Mabel
He said he couldn't powerbomb Earthquake, Typhoon or Vader. I can't see him powerbombing Mabel who was heavier than those other 3 guys.
I dont think the weight was the issue I think it was more the fact he couldn't wrap his arms around the bigger guys which would've just been dangerous to even try.
@@Baraka_Obama_ lmao power bomb mabel bullshit.
Him and papa shango were the scariest wrestlers when I was growing up. Legitimately scared. Maple Leaf wrestling and cartoons every Saturday morning. Living on the border in NY all we got was the Canadian channels.
Power bomb Earthquake!?!? And Typhoon ?!?? Are you freakin kidding me?!?!?
Sid had the look and was built like a Mack truck with the biggest traps I’ve ever seen.
should of been IN THE halL, ICON.
Sid is nice, he can put the crap aside being humble.
It's really strange, but, despite his reputation, and despite his gimmick, Sid's always been one of the people I've thought comes across as just a nice guy- it's weird. Every shoot interview I've watched reinforces that.
Always liked Sid
Sid! The man!
Sid is awesome ~ the Hall of Fame is worthless till he’s in it
I didn't know Vader passed. RIP Big Van. Fuckin bummer man 😰
