Boxer 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2008 Hmmmmmmmm....................... Credit Slam Wrestling via Rajah.com: Sid Vicious has apparently been telling friends that he will be returning to the WWE in September. Unless I missed it in this thread. (Formerly in the CTDWAT) Well, all I got to say is who's the man? I cannot wait to see Sid vs. Cena. EDIT: Since it has become it's own thread, here's the link: http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/news.html Go to the August 7th update. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boxer 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2008 If Sid comes back and is healthy, I have no doubt in my mind the CM Punk title run will end. Due to McMahon loving the big guys, it will probably go to Sid and then he can branch off in a feud with either Batista and Cena if heel, or Orton, Jericho, or any of Adamle's cronies as a face.

USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2008 Well except for the fact Sid is nearing 50 years old, if not already there. Punk's title run isn't in danger... well it is, but not because of Sid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Enigma 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2008 I will forever be a mark for Sid as long as he can still stare holes into the camera and talk in his quiet psycho voice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarKnight 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2008 I know this isn't saying much, but Sid was one of the highlights of WCW in 99. How can anyone forget that hilarious promo where he said "You are half the man I am, and I have half the brain that you do!"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boxer 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2008 I just wonder, with the shape he's in, if he will be a full-time performer, part-time performer, or a bodyguard? Maybe, Jericho's hired gun? Imagine, during the Jericho-Michaels rematch at Unforgiven, since it's bound to happen, Sid runs out and powerbombs the HELL out of Michaels. So this fits into another piece of Michaels' past coming back to get him. Y2J and the Millenium Man. SOLD! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2008 I hope HBK doesn't simply announce he'd be wrestling, at Summerslam. This angle feels like it needs something like HBK actually having to "retire" before coming back for his revenge. He hasn't been gone long enough for that effect to be felt.

Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2008 Shawn has been doing these teased retirements and lengthy absences for the past few years, so doing it again doesn't have much effect. The fans have become conditioned to believe Shawn comes back in 3 months. It'd be a departure from the typical HBK angle to actually have Shawn fight through the injuries.

USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted August 12, 2008 But to announce his return, less than a month from when he was "injured", is quite rushing the storyline. It sucks that the angle started so long ago and that it appears to be winding down, because the angle would be a perfect way to create a Wrestlemania rematch between Jericho and HBK.

Noah Fentz 0 Report post Posted August 12, 2008 As talk of HBK continues and HBK's retirement seems right around the corner, I can see HBK retiring Flair coming back to haunt him in the next WM. Perhaps, if HBK loses at WM (vs. Jericho), he must retire...and does? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted August 12, 2008 I don't think the angle has enough legs to reach WM. WWE learned a lesson recently in stretching things too far in hopes to save it for WM. It'd be an ideal blow-off at Survivor Series. Which would give each men plenty of time to build up whatever would be in store for them at WM. It has been a throughly entertaining storyline right from the start all the way back to the night after WM and I do have strong faith that they will maintain this level of quality but I don't think it can stretch beyond this fall. It'd be a welcome change to see a storyline actually build for an entire year but I'm doubtful it can and would happen without sacrificing the quality it has enjoyed to this point.

Jericho w/Sid def. Michaels via PINFALL. I'd love to see that at Mania 25. I'd love to see that too, but the way the fued has gone, Jericho beating the crap out of Michaels pretty much all the way through, only for Michaels to lose the blowoff too? This is leading to Michaels recovering and taking his revenge on the man who nearly took his eyesight/career. Not leading to Michaels returning only to lose.

As you mention Survivor Series, maybe that is where they can have Jericho put the Sharpshooter on Michaels, have him get screwed and all Canadians can finally be silenced. Michaels gets his 11 years later. And then......... just let it ride that Michaels got screwed out of the WWE, don't even mention him until he returns after No Way Out and there's your final blowoff with Michaels WINNING in Texas.

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted August 12, 2008 I was hoping for Jericho to end up in the title scene by Survivor Series. Do we really need to see him mess around with Shawn until freakin WM? As far as Sid coming back, well, until I see him on TV I will just write that off as some sort of sick joke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haws bah gawd 0 Report post Posted August 12, 2008 Doesn't "Serious" talk of a Sid return come up at least once a year? Personally, I am all for it. Sid always was one of my favorite big men, and had a pretty imposing presence to him. I saw footage of Sid wrestling a match on the indy's not too long ago, and he looked to be in as good of shape as ever. He may not have been the most technically sound wrestler, but damn did I enjoy watching him do his stuff in the ring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2GOLD 0 Report post Posted August 12, 2008 The return of the MASTER AND THE RULER....of the wooorrrlllldd is much needed. Not for serious wrestling but maybe as an enforcer of Mike Adamle when his "reasoning and understanding" doesn't seem to be panning out. Then he can be the quiet guy who just calmly says, "Sid, help this man understand my position" and then SID can powerbomb the hell out of them. That's really all SID is good for. He's an enforcer and him working regularly just doesn't seem possible. Jericho already has Cade so I don't know if SID would really work there. Unless it's to mess with the mind of HBK but that's just a waste of the return of the Psycho. Sure it makes sense, but boo on sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Diamonddust 0 Report post Posted August 13, 2008 I have no reservations about being a Sid mark and would love to see him have one more run. I've been a fan of his since I was a little kid. The angriest I've ever gotten at the ending of a match was when Hogan screwed him out of the 1992 Royal Rumble and the World Title. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hunter's Torn Quad 0 Report post Posted August 13, 2008 Sid could only do the enforcer role for so long before having to work a match, at which point it'll all be over and whatever luster he's kept will be gone when people see what he looks like now on the big stage.
