10 Wrestlers WWE Pushed Way Over Their Heads
7. Sycho Sid
At 6'9", 300lbs, Sycho Sid brought great size to the table, and he always carried a sense of menace, but those might be the nicest things you can say about him as a performer. His tired ring work was clunky at best, and you can count the number of times a superior opponent was able to drag even a serviceable match out of him on one hand. Wrestling aside, his screaming promos were legendarily bad, with this gem standing out in particular.
Despite these deficiencies, Sid still became a legitimate main eventer in both of America's major wrestling promotions. He was a two-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion, but the WWF was the first company to give him a monster push, and his first WWF Title win came over Shawn Michaels at Survivor Series 1996.
Sid's first run lasted a couple of months before eventually dropping it back to HBK, but he regained the gold in February 1997, dethroning Bret Hart in the process. This 34-day run ended at The Undertaker's hands, but while Sid was never meant to be anything more than a transitional champ, he still stunk the place up as a headliner
