Sid really did rule the world. Listen to the MSG crowd when he beat HBK for the WWE World Title. Sid was supposed to be the heel here but NYC said nope.

@tweet_iceman RIP, Big Man 🙏🏻 Sid walking through those Pearly Gates…

Same when he yanked Hogan out of the Royal Rumble RIP Sid

Look at the disappointment in the girl’s face in the crowd once the 3 count happens. That type of investment in these characters is what pro wrestling is about.

As a Bret Hart guy I was eating this up booing HBK and cheering Sid while showing love to Bret’s return earlier was just a beautiful time for me that night

This is also a time heels never got cheered

I saw this era a few months ago and I always thought he was too kind and cool to be heel. He wanted to be loved by the crowd, you can really saw it. RIP Sid.

His finishing move was my favorite.

God couldn’t spare him and take Hogan instead? 🤷‍♂️😔

This is probably he’s most memorable match and imo Shawn’s best match of that 96 run. NYC was DONE with Shawn and it’s hilarious/amazing to watch.
