Sycho Sid always looked like he was hearing voices that no one else could. As he made his entrance in arenas across the country, he would fist bump the fans, then snap his head and look into the sky, as if someone had suddenly communicated with him. It was strange, but only the first of many elements that made the two-time WWE champion one of the most deranged stars to ever step foot inside a Vince McMahon-owned ring. The most unpredictable and dangerous star of the 1990s, Sid made a name for himself based on the likelihood that he would snap at any time. Men he was closely associated with at one time, including Shawn Michaels and Hulk Hogan, both fell victim to his short temper and the devastating powerbomb he put so many Superstars away with. Bret Hart was another unlucky victim of Sid's. Anyone who openly and willingly accepts the nickname of "Sycho," spelled wrong mind you, is clearly deranged. He accepted the fact that he was a few fries short of a Happy Meal and in the end, it was that insanity and instability that helped him achieve the most success of his career.
