10 Forgotten Final Matches Of WWE Legends

GNW 10th Anniversary Supershow! on August 5th, 2017 against Paul Rosenberg

He's been Justice, Viscious, Sycho and the Millennium Man in a career that took him between the WWE and WCW more times than Big Show turns heel. Sid is often used as an example of how professional wrestling valued bigger athletes, no matter how slow they were, over younger talent in the 1990s.

Yet, if you heard the pop when Sycho Sid beat Shawn Michaels for the WWE Championship at Madison Square Garden in 1996, you'd think he was one of the era's biggest stars. It seems absurd that the credentials of a two-time WrestleMania main eventer are even questioned; one of those matches was against Hulk Hogan!

In a career that saw him raise four world championships, Sid was never the face of the business. His two WCW World Heavyweight Championship reigns ended in him forfeiting the belt, hardly the measure of a man who was expected to lead the charge against a resurgent WWE.

Perhaps Sid's most famous match in WCW was also his last in the Hotlanta company. When trying to execute a move from the second rope, the Viscous one broke his leg upon landing; Scott Steiner, Jeff Jarrett, and Road Warrior Animal finished the match as planned, with Sid's career all but over.

After years of intense rehabilitation, Sid made a comeback and faced Jerry Lawler, X-Pac, Eddie Kingston and more across a host of independent events. He even managed one last WWE appearance, beating Heath Slater as Psycho Sid on Raw.

His final match came in Great North Wrestling, a short contest against Paul Rosenberg. To comeback after such a horrific injury was one thing, but to get to end his career on his own terms was something that never seemed likely.
