Sid Vicious Shoot Interview dvd Review

Shoot Interview With Sid Vicious

Written by Phil Allely

This is a nice little shoot interview that set the bar very high indeed for all future ones. It also is the first by RF Video to feature a former WWE/WWF champion. Sid Eudy better known as Sid Vicious, Sycho Sid, Sid Justice or simply Sid was a hugely dominant force in professional wrestling from the late 18980s to his early retirement due to a devastating leg injury suffered in a WCW ring in early 2001. This dvd is a remarkably frank and brutally honest trip through Sid’s career, that touches upon many of his memorable matches, his tenures with the USWA, World Class, CWF, WCW, WWE and even ECW. The best bits of any shoot interview are the behind the scenes tales, urban legends and real-life arguments that stretch far beyond in-ring storytelling. Its here on this disc that we finally hear Sid’s version of the Arn Anderson scissors incident, what it was like to participate in three-way matches with Bret hart and Shawn Michaels during their personal problems, drug use, the clique, matches with Sting, his WWE title reigns, negotiations with ECW and from the man’s own mouth the fact that he (and his ego) still believes that the WWE and wrestling business in general need him to boost their flagging ratings. Renowned as having a love for softball over his wrestling interests Sid comes across as a softly spoken and intelligent man who has such a high level of self-belief that he seems to firmly believe his own hype. This is one shoot well worth tracking down and watching as for 90 minutes you’ll be glued to the screen watching ‘softball’ Sid elaborate on many stories, incidents, road tales and ribs, as he weaves his way through his varied career from the bumbling Lord Humungous and Skyscaper alongside Dan Spivey to Four Horseman member, Shawn Michaels bodyguard, WWE/WWF headliner and of course World Champion.
