[1996-11-04-WWF-Raw] Shawn Michaels/Sid Debate

[Superstar Sleeze]

Same RAW as Austin/Pillman gun angle.

 

Sid is way cooler than Shawn here. Sid has crazy charisma. He is hilarious as a bully picking on Michaels. if Donald Trump was a wrestler, he would be Sid. Tons of charisma, but no talent. Sid calling Shawn little man felt fucking hot as hell. I thought this was a great heated segment. We see these type of lame orchestrated confrontations all the time, but I thought they did a good job making this feel uncomfortable with the shots each one was taking at each other and actually leading to getting psychical in an organic way.

I did not like this.  The build to the babyface vs. babyface title match has been full of segments that were obviously there for no reason other than to build for it.  Owen (current tag champ) in singles vs. Sid with Davey out with him.  Wonder how that one ends.  Bulldog (other tag champ) vs. Shawn in a return match nobody wanted to see in the opposite scenario.  Then this.  It's paint by the numbers in the worst way possible.
