Shane Douglas vs. Sid Vicious (WCW Nitro 1/08/01)

[Rollermacka]

Wow, the crowd was really into this match (which didn't happen too often by the end of WCW)

[jerichofanforlife]

WCW had soooooo much talent in their roster, even WWF didn't have that many main eventers (proof because even Vince McMahon had to make himself a heel to fight stone cold) it is a shamethat WCW isn't in business anymore. The competition between WCW and (then) WWF was great for the sport that we love so much. Sid was IMHO awful as a face, he should have stayed a heel,that way he could keep his ..like he is indestructable type persona.

[DanRipper96]

sweet chokeslam

[VRRA4]

Wow! this was 2 days before the horrible leg injury that he suffered and less than 3 months before WCW went under. Sid should have been the last WCW champ.

[Animation420]

As bad as WCW got at the end, I still wish it was around so WWE would have a reason not to suck so much.

[Quntumking]

The Franchise !

[JRiggz108999]

what exactly does that mean? get his ass franchised? how exactly do you franchise someone?

[francoisgrenier]

@JRiggz108999 i franchised yo mama. i guess it has many meanings.

but seriously, sid needs to come back.

[Animation420]

@JRiggz108999 The franchizer was his finisher in WCW, if that holds any relevance.

[tag1989]

i always use to think that shane douglas and jerry lawler were related  for some reason.

[jerichofanforlife]

This video reminds me of how much promise CE had back then and how many stars they had at their disposal. Sad to see it gone. I miss WCW.

[Edgehead10075]

What the fuck is CE?

[manstis1804]

What a surprisingly solid match, it's nice these days to see a couple of real vets in there instead of everyone being WWE-ized.

[JokerKlownX]

Wonder if Shane Douglas wrote a book. Also did he confront "Dick Flair" in the backstage when he signed with wcw? lol

[mattrospecs]

wasnt he called sid justice?

[habstick2]

sid justice was in wwf during the early 90s .. in mid90s it was psycho sid then late 90s it was sid vicious...

Now its Psycho Sid Vicious.

[Harmeulius]

@mattrospecs

That was his first name,

First he was called Sid Justice

Later it became Sid Vicious

And later it became Sycho Sid

[hulksmad]

this was when wcw was going out of bussiness,damm could sid not afford wrestling tights after being laid for while,douglas is just a over paid mark

[Jim222001]

Douglas was one of the original guys that made ECW good. He was awesome in those days. But yeah in WCW he wasn't that great.

[CLeRKSfan4life]

Douglas is overrated. He's a decent enough wrestler but his mic skills are terrible. He's just an average wrestler who made a name for himself in ECW, like most of the original ECW roster. He bitches about Flair, Michaels and the Kliq but he's got nothing on them.

[Jim222001]

I don't think his mic skills were that bad. Yeah, he bitches, but that doesn't mean his mic skills are bad. That's like saying Jericho's are bad just because he bitches. Cena's are overrated. He just yells in the mic, while making funny faces. He's pretty wooden when he talks or yells, he's just boring either way.

[CLeRKSfan4life]

@Jim222001 No I don't mean they're bad because he complains about things. Even if he wasn't bitching about being held down by Flair and the Kliq his mic are still bad.

[Jim222001]

sorry, I don't really see where his mic skills were bad. I liked Douglas on the mic actually. But he was better when he was allowed to curse in ECW lol.

[Edgehead10075]

Cursing = getting cheap heat.

[jst2evl]

@Edgehead10075 That's pretty much what Shane Douglas tries in almost all his promos. He hates on guys that are more successful and always blames politics, when all he really should do is figure out that he's a midcarder in any other company except ECW and the reason he couldn't even keep his job in WWE is cause he acted like he deserved more than he earned.

[chefboyardeeg1]

@CLeRKSfan4life he wanted to be flair did you see him in TNa omg

[CLeRKSfan4life]

I've never watched much TNA but the only time I did see Douglas there he was a backstage reporter. Anyway, I guess he can't have been that bad. I heard he was good with customers when working at Target.

[chefboyardeeg1]

@CLeRKSfan4life omg he looks like shit and yes I did here about his great customer service skills at Target hey a Job is a job. I will post the link from his TNA return he had a great run in ECW but its over nw

[ranger220022]

rection...ass..lol

[slainemcroth00]

Vince Bing back SID!!!

[MaverickNJ]

[ThatLavaTF]

[novenove2964]

SID WILL KICK YOUR ASS BOY!!

[mopeow]

Sid Vicious rulez

[bigbadge107]

love his entrance music too!

[davidberry1972]

Shane is one of the best wrestlers on the mic

[nailbomb76]

is not the best

[Drkevkong]

The last WCW event in march of 2001 had more people in the arena than a TNA PPV Event or an Original ECW PPV Event.

[ThatLavaTF]

TNAs events are full most of the times. But since the location is looking like its held in your neightboors basement or garage its ridiculous to compare it with wcw

[BRINGBACKSID]

BRING BACK SID!!

[Edgehead10075]

Why? He's old, and he was never any good to begin with.

[oconnorcd]

Hard as Chinese arithmetic. LOL.

[DomTuccio]

I used to think Sid was awesome...man did he suck....

[ArtQuakedoom95]

you suck! he rules the world!

[jonrw1234]

tnt and tbs suck without nitro and thunder

[Edgehead10075]

I totally disagree. Nitro and Thunder were terrible programs, and TBS and TNT are much better without that shit. I mean, look at this video. Two pieces of shit going at it.

[prstn]

concreat table ??? now thats just uneccicery

why make it that hard wood works just fine

[CBwillliveon]

Sid's last televised full time match before the infamous Sin PPV

[d0ug]

Sid's fist bumps were always the best.

[bigsidfan]

Yep, nobody else does them better than him!

[countbloodula]

WCW productions suxx!
