While Sid Eudy’s “Sid Justice”, “Sid Vicious” and “Sycho Sid” characters were truly unforgettable, some may forget how popular and “over” Sid was during late 1996 and early 1997 during his WWF title runs. When Sid was brought back as a stand-in for the recently released Ultimate Warrior, no one could’ve predicted how popular Sid would become… eventually leading to Sid ending the 1996 title reign of Shawn Michaels to much fanfare. While Sid didn’t necessarily perform as a wrestling good-guy, he still got incredible crowd reactions; a real sign of the times as the whole landscape of professional wrestling was going through changes.
Sid came back for the WWF’s 9th In Your House show, teaming up with Shawn Michaels and Ahmed Johnson to do battle with Camp Cornette. Within months, Sid became the number 1 contender for the WWF Championship, and Sid would defeat Michaels at the 1996 Survivor Series to become the new champion. Survivor Series took place inside Madison Square Garden, and the New York WWF audience was known for letting superstars know exactly what they think of them. Sid was cheered during the match while HBK was booed out of the building, something the WWF were not expecting.
Sid would go on to headline pay per views against the likes of Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker while still maintaining his popularity. In 1997, Sid would come and go from the WWF, and by the end of the year, one of the WWF’s most unexpected popular superstars was nowhere to be seen. This video looks at Sid’s title runs during 1996 and 1997; when Sycho Sid was the master and ruler of the world.
