AEW analyst and WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross recently spoke about the time Vince McMahon first met Sable (Rena Mero) and also gave his thoughts on “Sycho” Sid’s WWE run on the latest episode of “Grilling JR“. You can check out some highlights below:
Jim Ross on pushing Sid Vicious as an attraction wrestler in WWE: “Not all sizzle, but I think he was an attraction. Attractions are to be seen seldomly and to be kept in their lane. He was never gonna be a Funk or a Brisco. He was an attraction. He’s like I tried to explain to the writers, he’s like Vader. He’s like Vince’s dad booked Andre. The less you see them, the better off you are.”
On Sid’s best match and winning the WWE title from Shawn Michaels at Survivor Series 1996: “When he won the title, I think that to me was a crescendo for Sid of matches I can recall off the top of my head. And let’s also be honest, he was in there with one of the best ever and it was a long-term storyline that was gonna culminate in the Alamo Dome in Shawn’s hometown. So, all the pieces were already set in place. I think that was probably Sid’s best night. Of course, it was at the Garden, so that always adds a little. The arena always added some value.”
