[1992-03-28-WWF-Superstars] Interview: Sid Justice

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

More WM hype, with Harvey reading the four demandments of "Hokeamania" with Sid responding to each of them. This is one of the worst promos I have ever seen, which makes it sort of awesome. But once they get past the demandment stuff, this is more typical guilty pleasure fun Sid. The beginning was brutal though.

[Tim Evans]

Sid yelling at Mean Gene and calling him a Goof just makes me laugh. I always love Sid Promos.

[Kevin Ridge]

Best part was Sid putting Okerlund in his place. Gene seemed to be pretty sore about that.

[MikeCampbell]

I can't get enough of Sid's theme music. I got a kick out of Sid getting in Gene's face, twice. But I coulda done without the goofy "Hokemania" stuff.

[WingedEagle]

We hear about the demandments of Hulkamania. Sid is nuts. So glad this made the set.

[PeteF3]

ALL THE VITAMINS IN THE WORLD WILL NOT HELP YOU SURVIVE.

 

Sid talks about training since his debut "five years ago." Sid had a wrestling career before coming to the WWF??!!

[xlynwoodx]

Sid is a nut. He rants and raves about Hogan for a while, yells at Gene, RULES THE WORLD. Sid and Harvey are such an odd pairing.

[garretta]

How is this so bad? I thought this was excellent for two guys not known as particularly good interviews. Bruno has to do something besides just standing there looking like more of a runt than Okerlund, so why not have him set Sid up by reading the four "demandments"? I liked how Sid answered each one, particularly the prayers. "The only prayer you have is that I get struck by lightning!" That sounded pretty clever to me.

 

Gene's reaction to Sid's use of the phrase "no chance in hell" is another Okerlund classic. If he'd gone to JCP in 1984 instead of the WWF, he'd be getting a lot more respect from so-called "smart" fans than he does now.

 

I'm not sure I'd have had Sid push the idea that he was going to end Hogan's career after it had already been publicized that Hogan was leaving. It's too confusing for the little ones; when Hogan doesn't pop up on their TV screens again in a couple of weeks, is it because he decided to retire after all or because Sid hurt him like he said he would? Something along the lines of, "You'll be spending your retirement in a nursing home!" would have gotten the same point across a lot more clearly.

 

I caught the "I started training five years ago" stuff too. I think not letting Sid say something like that would have been too petty even for Vince. What does he do, build his wrestlers from kits in the basement of Titan Towers? (Shhhh, I better not give him any ideas!)

[dawho5]

I didn't think this was awful.  I don't expect much from Sid and this was actually more on point than most of Hogan's promos towards Sid.  If his job is to play a jacked-up on steroids crazy man, Sid could do far, far worse.
