10 HUGE Backstage Fights That Happened After Wrestling Matches
1. Sid Vicious Vs. Arn Anderson - 1993
You know when a fight ends with one person screaming “You’re killing me!” as they pass out due to blood loss, things have taken a pretty serious turn.
That was the case when Sid Vicious and Arn Anderson locked horns during a 1993 WCW tour of the UK. Following a house show in Cardiff, WCW embarked on a beer-fuelled coach ride to their next stop, Blackburn. It was there that a hotel played host to a drunken fight that could’ve ended in utter tragedy.
An inebriated Sid was telling anyone and everyone how he was going to be the face of WCW over the next few years - something which rubbed a sozzled Anderson the wrong way. Verbal shots were exchanged between the pair – Vicious saying that the likes of Arn's buddy Ric Flair was holding the young guys down, Anderson firing back by pointing out how awful Sid was in-ring – before things took a violent turn.
The two threw beers at each other before both angrily departed for their rooms. As the situation escalated, Arn confronted Sid with a pair of scissors. By the time all was said and done, Sid had four stab wounds, while Double A had 20 stab wounds.
After spending a night in jail, both men refused to press charges against each other. Anderson would be suspended by WCW, while Sid would be fired.
