Not apparantly, Sting has said Scott Hall came up with the gimmick.

what happened to sid justice.. sorta comes and goes so quickly but had the potential (build wise) to be a big hitter.

As Sid Justice, he failed a drugs test before WM8 because he provided someone elses urine, and quit wrestling rather than serve a suspension. That lasted a year before he returned in WCW as Sid Vicious again.

This also didnt last. In 94, and I swear I'm not making this up, he got into a fight with Arn Anderson in Blackburn that resulted in him stabbing Arn with a pair of scissors 20 times. Arn also managed to stab Sid a few times, but seriously came off worse, and likely would be dead if Too Cold Scorpio hadn't decided to venture out of his hotel room to see what all the noise was and make the insane decision to get in between the two.

At this point, Sid realised how much he was bleeding, freaked the fuck out and legged it. He ran into Vader, who had been woken up by the kerfuffle and exited his room in just his underwear. Vader tackled Sid to the ground and closed the wound in his stomach by sticking his thumb in it.

Yeah, at the arse end of WCW, John Lauinitus had the bright idea of a 6'9 over 300 pound man doing ariel moves.

As a result he never wrestled for a major promotion again until 2012 when he returned to Raw and beat Heath Slater.

He was actually one of the attidude era guys I always wanted WWE to bring back. We never saw him after that, and his career ended being carted out on a stretcher. Whilst I never got that final run, I was happy that he at least got to come back and go out as a terrifying fucking monster, and not the bloke whose leg was barely connected.

Heel Bryan? He's not wearing brays old dungarees again Is he?

Hopefully Becky vs Ronda is pushed back to Mania now, as she is the most over person in the company at the moment.

Did love hearing a Dublin accent saying "Everyone's tough until the man comes around!"

I don't watch WWE at all but I still get the odd post-show thingy on twitter and I'm just here to say I really really fancy the red haired lady one and I think I'm in love with her?

I'm annoyed that AJ hasn't kept the title for a long single spell. He's earned it as a fighting champ. Similar to Brett during the 92-93 era. He's racked up almost a year. It's a shame it will be just shy of that I think. 

Not watched raw or SD yet this week. SS this weekend. Brock will steamroll Bryant.

371 days. It's the joint 8th longest WWE Championship reign in history and joint 3rd longest of the modern era.

Got two matches left of the worst Survivor Series ever.

Do yourself a favour and dont bother. Watch Takeover if you haven't instead.

I completely forgot there was a survivor series last weekend. Seems I did not miss much.

SS was pretty poor. 

Worst thing was the 205 match. Doesn't matter how much you hype that division, it just has no love from me. 

Samoa Joe has done 30 minute matches where he takes beating after beating. Then gets hit once and he's down and out? meh. 

Flair and Rousey was shit. 

Strowman tearing through everyone wasn't even fun although I enjoyed the Shane stuff fwiw. 

Yeah it was a shit show to be honest. Saying that, Nakamura and Rollins was maybe the highlight and I don't really like Rollins so there you go.

I thought the last two matches were pretty interesting.

They were the best part of the show, but they were irrelevent to the story of the show. How WWE thought they could get away with that, especially after the crowd reaction to Woods preshow promo revealed it was a HIGHLY partisan Smackdown crowd Ive no idea.

Because Vince hates Smackdown?

God knows. We'll see how it plays out in the next few weeks.

while we on it, how much of the commentary is scripted?
