Sid Vicious returning next month to WWE?

[OIL]

Gunnar Eudy, the 28-year-old son of four-time World Heavyweight Champion Sid Vicious, as well as indy wrestler Rage (a friend of Sid), are saying that Sid will be back in WWE next month.

If that is true, then this can only be a short term thing for the WWE. Similar to what Sting is for TNA, only, this return is argubaly bigger.

If Sid does return, he should go to RAW because if he does to SD! then it will become too packed with high profile superstars as SD! already has a lot (HHH, Kennedy, Hardy, Benjamin, Khali, Edge, Taker).

However, what storyline he gets involved in would be the main question. I mean, he could easily become involved in the Mysterio/Kane fued, maybe saving Mysterio or teaming up with Kane. (Sid & Kane would own btw).

What you guys think?

 

[Hailey Rose]

If that happens, I will mark out soooooo much!

It'll definitely be a short term thing, Sid isn't gonna be around for the long haul. I agree that he should go RAW, even though I'd love to see Sid against Edge, simply because Smackdown has a lot of the top guys on that show. Sid could help even things out on RAW. I could also see them doing a storyline with him and the McMahons upon his return.

 

[OIL]

They could involve him in that whole stage accident thing. Not sure how, but it would be interesting to see what they do with it just because it's been so long since we've seen him.

Deffo see him winning the WHC at some point because it would fit the perfect return. Allthough he shouldn't win it straight away, because Punk is a good champion at this point. His matches are solid and his mic work, isn't great but better than some. Maybe hold off his title reign until sometime next year.

Cena vs Sid is also something i'm VERY interested in. That match would be awesome, just because they're two huge names and I can see them having a quality match. Next year at SummerSlam prehaps?

 

[Hailey Rose]

Punk is a great champ and I think Sid should hold the belt, but I wouldn't want to see Sid take it from Punk. Maybe if they had him drop the belt to someone like Cena or JBL and then have Sid challenge for it. Cena and Sid would be great because it wouldn't have to be a big stretch for either of them, I think they would probably have great chemistry.

 

[AFC1986]

He might not even be coming back to wrestle, as he could be coming back to be a road agent or a trainer but if he does wrestle, I think he should go to ECW as I would love to a match of pure strength between him and Mark Henry

That's where I agree with you. The chemistry. While they have never wrestled together, for some reason I think they're match would be awesome. Wrestling wise, Sid can teach Cena a few things which will hopefully improve him in the future while also improving his wrestling ability now.

However, Sid has to go over Cena in their match because since it's his last year or 2 wrestling, he needs that huge win which will make his return actually mean something.

He's already made his wrestling return on the indy scene, so why would he go from wrestling (which he has been training to do for a long time since his injury), waste all of that training and become a road agent? It dosen't make any sense because it would just be one huge waste of talent.

ECW isn't a big enough brand for Sid's return, because it's clearly behind RAW and SD! as both the other two brands have the better time slot, better channel and better wrestlers. Basically better everything, so it would be pointless.

You are absolutely right. If they were to put Cena and Sid together when Sid returns, they couldn't put Cena over him. That would totally go against the huge buzz that would surround his return. Plus having Sid beat Cena would just make everyone even that more excited to see what he'd do next and get everyone firmly behind him again.

I honestly do not think the return of Sid is going to be as big as others are believing. Most of these younger fans who love Cena weren't alive or fans then to know who he is, just look at the return of D-Lo recently, he didn't get half the reception I thought he would get. I'll be excited to see Sid wherever he'll end up, but I can't say that a majority of current WWE fans will really care.

 

[FoleyIsGod]

Sid is washed up, sadly. His best years were 10 years ago, now he is just a broken down shell of his former self

His name value might increase the ratings slightly, but I doubt the WWe would offer him anything long term, especially as he has had problems with many of the current WWE backstage staff(Arn Anderson is just on of them that spring to mind).

To be fair, I would have rather the WWe spent the money on retaining Shannon Moore, or maybe spending the cash on younger stars that are doing the rounds on the indy scene.

 

[Big Sexy]

If Sid comes back there is no way he's going to win the Heavyweight Title. Even back when he was in his prime he only won the title twice. If he does come back I could see him feuding or teaming with someone like Kane, but that would be as far as any push he gets would go.

Totally agree with you there. When D-Lo returned I couldn't believe the rubbish reception he got. I was just sitting there like "WTF! CHEER!?!". Also at RAW's XV Aniversary show, when half of the superstars came out they were just sitting there, doing fuck all. Pissed me off. Gonna change a line Roy Keane once said, "Those fans can't even spell wrestling, let alone understand it".

I think the WWE needs to educate today's audience, not sure how but they need to. Either that, or reach out to the past fans. Get them interested in the product again.

 

[Spaceman Spif]

I highly doubt Sid is coming back, for one WWE wouldn't give what he thinks he is worth, because he won't wrestle a fulltime schedule for them, as he likely just isn't that good anymore and is past his prime, thought I never really thought he was good anyways. He looked like a bumbling moron to me in the ring.

Also it appears the WWE is involved in some sort of youth movement with their younger talent, trying to build them and push as they should because they are the future of the company. WWE has no reason to bring Sid, he won't add anything to the WWE, he'll just take some of the spot light away from younger talent who needs to be developed.

 

[Mattyboy]

It would be cool to see him back, though i agree that maybe the WWE should focus on the younger talent, but then again who? Punk is a good performer but he lacks charisma for me, and with the exception of Benoit, skill doesnt get you far as champ these days.

If Sid came back id love to see him in battles with Kane and Taker, and given the backstory HBK. Should get a title run too. Has Sid ever been champ?

 

[Big Sexy]

Sid has been champ 2 times, he beat Shawn Michaels at the 96 survivor series by hitting him with a camera. Then he lost it to Michaels at the 97 rumble, but Michaels gave up the belt due to injury and Sid beat Bret Hart with help from Austin on RAW. Then Sid lost the title to Taker at Mania 13

 

[Shocky]

Meh, that's all I got at this point. I'm a big fan of Sid, and I know that's not exactly the coolest thing to say on an IWC forum, but I didn't mind him.

However, when was the last time anyone saw Sid. Oh yeah, it's when he grew a third knee cap and tried to get his leg to go the other way. Guys, the man is pushing 50, and has been away from a big company and the spotlight for 8 years now. It's not exactly like Sid was the most easy thing to watch in the ring during his last run, how could it be any better this time?

Plus, whose going to remember the guy besides the smarkiest of smarks. The guy was wrestling pre-Attitude Era WWE, then went to ECW, and then went to WCW in it's dying days, no one is going to remember him to give him the pop he deserves.

I'm all for Sid, but father time has certainly passed Sid by at this point.

 

[RadioGaGa]

A Sid return would be decent. When I'm trawling through YouTube and Dailymotion for wrestling vids, I'll always take a look at a one with Sid in it. A return to WWE would probably good for a nostalgia pop, not much else. After a look on google I've noticed that these rumours have been around for a year or two so I genuinely don't see it happening. I will say that he sold Hogan's hulking up better than anyone I've ever seen.

 

[KillBill]

Personally, I think you guys are wrong. Its been a while since we've seen a big time veteran come to WWE. Last one was Jericho, before that? Its something new, and people are so against and for Cena at this point, it would be perfect for him to come out and destroy Cena. I'm a big fan of Sid, its a damn shame he broke his leg, but after that, I think he deserves a chance to come back one last time. Do not compare him to D-Lo brown. Sid is way bigger, and has done a lot more in wrestling. Hes a scary dude who could make things very interesting. If anybodies worried about age and rust, check his recent matches on youtube. Hes in awesome shape, and i hope he comes back!!!

 

[Big Sexy]

Jericho was only gone for 2 years, Sid has been gone from wrestling for 7 years and from the WWE for 11 years. There are some long time fans who will remember him, but a lot of the WWE fans won't care at all because a lot of them are too young to remember Sid when he was any good.

 

["Cool Guy" Jensen]

I wasn't much of a Psycho Sid fan much, but I would be excited to see back. I've seen him wrestle on WCW in a rivalry with Kevin Nash and I thought it was pretty good. His powerbomb is a pretty effective move. ONly problem is that I don't think that he should return on the RAW brand, being because all the other supposedly retired wrestlers who have returned after so long have always been a part of RAW. There's The Rock, Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold, Roddy Piper, etc. all came back only on RAW. I don't see Sid having success on RAW, now on Smackdown,if he's a heel can have a good feud with Jeff Hardy, Triple H, Undertaker, or Big Show and if he's a face, he can wrestle Umaga, Edge, or maybe Vladimir Kozlov. E.C.W. would do absolutely nothin for him.

 

[KillBill]

I know Jericho was only gone 2 years, but Sid is different. He's big, scary, and a good big man who put in the right angle would make a big enough impact to have even people who don't know who he is take notice.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

Sid was limited anyway, so a return for him will be met by me with fanboy ecstasy. Only recently have I gone back over some of the older WWE PPVs and come to the realisation that Sid was awesome. Those promos where he sounds like he's on the brink of exploding are awesome.

Hogan needs a proper retirement match. I can't really think of anybody for him to face. Hogan shouldn't lose in his final match like Flair. Him walking to the back like an old man just won't work. He needs to win. Who else on the roster would really work? Nobody in my eyes. Sid arrives at Unforgiven. Takes out some people, and pretty much does that for a couple of months. No need for him to wrestle, powerbombs is all that's needed.

But he ain't coming back, I just can't see it.

 

[TheOneBigWill]

I'm met with mixed emotions over this. On one hand I agree with Jake (whether he was sarcastic or not is another story) on the note that Sid Vicious was awesome through promos and wasn't overly horrible in his matches.

I'd definately "mark out" if he did indeed return, but it'd be the type of mark out I'd likely give even if someone like Ted DiBiase (Sr.) actually returned to be a manager. It's the type you give, because they're a known "big name" but not really anything more. (Mind you DiBiase IS more)

But that's the thing, on the flip side I can't say I'm too overly joyed about a Sid Vicious return because A.) He isn't and never will be the same as he was, because he's aged. And B.) because of his injury that left him sidelined for a very long time, it's arguable that he isn't completely rusty and pure crap now.

Furthermore, there aren't many options for Sid Vicious within the company. Who'd he feud with? It'd almost have to be on Raw, because he's a big name. Could he return to side with Shawn Michaels, only to once again turn on him? It's repeating old classics, but repeating none-the-less. Could he go after Kane and give us yet another big man v. big man match that seems great on paper, but ultimately turns to crap in the ring?

Honestly.. I would like to see him return, but I know if/when he does.. it'll get old quick, and I could regret it.

 

[Big Sexy]

If Sid really does comeback in September I could see him joining forces with Shawn Michaels to help him in his feud with Jericho and Lance Cade. If they put him with Shawn Michaels then that would help some of the newer wrestling fans cheer for him so it won't be like when D'Lo returned and didn't get that great of a reaction at first.

 

[Mr-excitement]

Most of these younger fans who love Cena weren't alive or fans then to know who he is, just look at the return of D-Lo recently, he didn't get half the reception I thought he would get.

You nailed it, come on everytime someone is rumored to return people claim this is going to be huge and one of two things happens. The return never happens see: NWO or the return is botched, Chris Jericho.

If Sid did come back, the WWE creative would have no problem allowing him to be pinned by the FU. The current fanbase has no connection to SID and no one even knows what kind of shape he is in.

I doubt he will be back in the WWE. If he came back and sided with Jericho against Michaels, they would at least have some history to use, but history and creative is not really the WWE's strong suit these days.
