Right After Wrestling with Sid Vicious (Sid Eudy)
Hosts: Arda Ocal and Jimmy Korderas
Available at TheScore.com.
His
feelings on being at WrestleMania 8, how he told Vince McMahon he
didn't want to work for the company afterward, and what the original
plan was for him leading up to Mania: "My original plan was to only do
TV's and pay-per-views until WrestleMania and then I would become the
champion at WrestleMania, and than I was gonna do house-shows after
WrestleMania. But the situation with (Ultimate) Warrior being fired at
SummerSlam changed the whole thing. I don't remember Papa Shango missing
his cue - I just remember things not being laid out very well."
What
the atmosphere felt like behind the curtain at SummerSlam '91
concerning the Ultimate Warrior: "I think everybody was aware of it but I
don't think anybody cared. Things like that happened so often that
nobody ever cared. People might have cared about it - but it's not
anyone's business, so nobody cared."
Being a champion and
carrying a championship title: "When I first started the business, I was
told I would never be champion. The belt was always put on people who
could draw. So I never expected to become a 15-time champion or
anything...(the championship) just became an extra thing in your bag to
carry around...you're never in the business to become champion, you're
in the business to do your part - whatever the promoter tells you your
part is."
The infamous ankle injury he suffered in WCW: "It was a
PPV. What they did was put that (move) in there as a cue for the camera
to go back and show the 'mystery partner.' I wasn't comfortable doing
that move (from the second ropes) but I tried and sometimes we make
mistakes."
Sid also discusses whether he's still available to
wrestle and whether WWE ever offered him a chance to return, where he
was happiest wrestling, working with Shawn Michaels, and suffering a
punctured lung and broken ribs during a match with the Steiner Bros
& Doom.
