Sid Vicious

[klunderbunker]

Why is he so popular? Be it in ECW, WCW, WWF or the NWA, this guy gets absolutely ridiculous pops. His promos make zero sense, his matches are usually bad at best and comical at worst, but I'm watching a show now and there's a HUGE We Want Sid chant. These same things would happen in ECW and occasionally in WWF. What is so awesome about him? I like him to a degree but I've never understood this.

Like you don't try to decipher Sid, you just watch at his awesomeness.

Be careful, you might not be able to handle the prosperous 'pro wrestling' vibe of that video.

People love big stupid muscleheads. Oldest rule of wrestling, film, and television and basically any form of entertainment.

Plus he was kind of badass during his 96-97 WWF run, he was one of the first real tweener characters in wrestling. I still remember the huge pops he got when he beat HBK at Survivor Series '96, which was actually a DAMN good match.

This plus people always like to see a powerbomb

Because the man was a good pro wrestler. He had good charisma, he WAS a larger than life character (not playing one, he WAS one), and when he was in the ring, you believed he was really hurting his opponents.

He had the look, the charisma, the believability and personified pro wrestling. Why WOULDN'T people like him?

Don't be silly Slyfox. You know you have to do a backflip to be considered a "real" wrestler.

^^^ This. Nothing else to say really.

I have never, once, in my entire fucking life seen a single solitary person on the internet say that a wrestler sucks if he can't do some kind of flip. Ever.

Where the fuck are people getting this supposed IWC stereotype from?

 

[The Holy One]

Sid was one of the few reasons that I still watched WCW in 2000. He had the bad ass personality and he was alright in the ring. Plus, I love the powerbomb so that was a major reason why I like him.

RIDICULOUS Pops. Utterly ridiculous. Thunderous.

You're kidding right? Not only have I seen it on multiple forums, the IWC prejudice against guys who DON'T do "fancy" moves, like moonsaults and the like, should hit you like a Peter North cumshot to the face.

I've never once seen someone say that you suck as a wrestler if you can't do flips. Not on this forum, not ever. If you have, feel free to show me.

I think people need to realize that you are ALL a part of the IWC. If anything the most popular opinions on the IWC these days is that John Cena is awesome and the WWE is on the right path, pushing young guys. Hardly the stereotypical smark shit that's always regurgitated about flippies.

Its the "I dont like Nirvana" theory at work, methinks

Seriously guys, show me examples if it's so rampant. Find me all of these people saying you suck if you can't do a 450 splash or some shit. You're going to be looking quite awhile.

What theory is this now?

Pretty certain I've seen it on this one, but not in a while. Then again, I don't visit the wrestling sections as much anymore. But I know I've seen it on other forums.

I think people need to realize that you are ALL a part of the IWC.

Well, no fucking shit?

But there's a difference between the majority and the minority. And the majority are completely ignorant to what constitutes quality wrestling.

If anything the most popular opinions on the IWC these days is that John Cena is awesome and the WWE is on the right path, pushing young guys.

Not sure where you're getting that from. This forum is probably the most prolific in that kind of thinking, and even here, at best, it's 50/50.

Calling it now - In 3-4 pages time we might as well merge this thread with the "Wrestling spam zone heated debate".

There's about a bazillion people (okay, waaayyyy exaggerated) on this forum who are TNA fans who think Alex Shelly and Chris Sabin are "real" wrestlers. I can't remember the last time they had a match that had no less than 20 set spots. And what were those set spots? Ok. One of them prolly had a kick to the face, but everything else was flip-tastic.

Someone is an angry panda.

Me and you created it together


You know. Your so anti anti anti, that you actually DONT like Nirvana. Its like the sub cult to the cult.

Same thing with saying WWE is good, and Cena is an excellent wrestler. People dont actually belive it, they just want to look smart. Once something begins to reach a point of mass popularity, it becomes the new cool smart thing to go in the opposite direction.

 

[Coco]

I really, really wish Cena could do a 450.

 

[Slyfox696]

I really, really wish Cena could do a 450.

He would be the IWC darling if he did. He'd be the best wrestler in history.

While we're at it, I want to play.

Doing flips doesn't make someone a spot monkey. Back from whence you came, you Wade Barrett loving trollop.

Is it just me or is Gabriel like really adorable?
