10 Terrible Wrestlers With One Incredible Match
10. Sid (Vs Shawn Michaels, WWE Survivor Series 1996)
Sid had more okay matches than his sometimes-rancid reputation suggests.
Over quite literally beyond belief in 1996, Sycho Sid had hot contests against Camp Cornette and Bret Hart even if they weren't catch-as-catch-can classics, there's a buried treasure with Diesel at In Your House 2 that most people sleep on, and Chris Benoit's WCW World Championship bout with the big man is a choice effort understandably lost to the former's final acts.
But there can only be one true Sid classic. And it took place in front of the most receptive audience he'd ever worked in front of.
The Madison Square Garden regulars were as buzzing to see the big man as they were livid with Shawn Michaels at the tail end of his "Boyhood Dream" WWE Championship run, and the rippling emotions only heightened the drama in an all-time performance from 'HBK' at his 1990s peak.
Michaels flatly refusing to acknowledge the size disparity paired magnificently with Sid's indifference to his range, not least when a finish called for the Champion to be pulled back down to earth to look after his injured mentor Jose Lothario. In attacking the elder statesman, Sid and circumvented Michaels' heart and gone for his very soul. From bell-to-ultra-dramatic-final-bell, the Arkansas giant was never was as imposing again.
