Sid is super underrated. Dude just had it. Great look, intimidating, could work a big guy style. Ok, promos may be a lil hit or miss, sure, but he had it for sure.

I always say, it may get lost to time. People think he was just marbled mouthed with his promos. But in reality? He was one of those guys where it didn’t really matter WHAT he said. It was how he said it. In the same vein as Steiner. Just a good promo no matter what.

Remember watching this live and going nuts for Sid

They don’t make em like Sid anymore

His 1996-97 run was low key amazing.

Dude was aura before aura was a common word

Sid was my first wrestling idol! His run with Goldberg was so good! Shame he wont be there for his induction but he deserves it well and truly! RIP legend!

One of my favorite entrances

The crowd was playing rock, paper, scissors and won every time 😭

i was there that night. i felt like i was one of the only ones cheering for HBK 💔

SID: Suddenly I’m Dominant ✅✅✅

It's wild seeing Sid dap the crowd on his way to the ring. I thought he was always a heel.

Sid was fucking money

Sid was that dude

So fuckin over - loved his music

Fucking finally, it's about damn time he's in the hall of fame.

Everyone wanted that fist bump man

Sid was awesome. What a great ruler of the world.

Super over here but also they were tired of Shawn’s bullshit. I’m not expecting WWE to make any reference to this match in the run up to the HOF

looked great with the winged eagle

He was over as fuck that day but primarily because NYC and fans being absolutely tired of Shawn as WWF champ. They had a match with Sid as a heel and they booed HBK out of the building anyway. By next month versus Bret or January versus Shawn, he was pretty much back to normal.

That was one of the greatest nights in history ending that awful Michael’s title reign! One of the loudest arena’s ever for SID

🤘🏼

He was awesome the ruler of the world

I couldn’t wait for him to flatten the pretty boy

He was gonna be Austin

🔥💪🏾 theme song went hard 🎶💯 SID

The aura in this entrance

Music was on point. His look was just fantastic, and his style in the ring was perfect for his gimmick. Absolutely iconic.

He got people to boo Shawn (The choosen one back then) and Bret, he was damn over!

Steadied the sinking ship between golden and attitude era’s didn’t he really WWE owe him a lot.

Had to go all the way to Texas to find a crowd to root against him 🤣

👊

Sunndenly Indominate ? JR was the worst honestly.

New York crowd let HBK have it that night ooofff...🥶

@twcworldwide Loved his version of the power bomb
