10 Wrestlers Who Were Notoriously Difficult To Work With

8. Sid

A total hothead, Sid is also a strange man in that, even if he beat the sh*t of you, you'd still wind up laughing. He was a terrifying oaf.

Now, Sid meets three criterion for this list.

1) He was difficult to work with because, as an in-ring performer, he was deeply limited. Despite a palpable intensity, unhinged disposition and massive frame, his offence looked strangely gentle. To drag a great match out of him, at Survivor Series '96, Shawn Michaels had to bump like a pinball - think SummerSlam 2005, only significantly less funny.

2) He was difficult to work with because, as mentioned, he was a hothead with delusions of grandeur. When, in 1991, he told Brian Pillman that he was a pretty boy who didn't know how to work, Pillman stood up to him. Sid backed down, and retreated from the scene. He returned to it with a squeegee in hand. He chose a better weapon for his next backstage battle, in 1993, with Arn Anderson. He chose a pair of scissors. Again: terrifying oaf.

3) He was difficult to work with on a literal level, because he was fond of just leaving companies to play softball.
