10 WWE Swearing Outbursts That Got Past The Censors

9. Sycho Sid - Monday Night Raw (17 March 1997)

After Bret Hart turned the air blue with a legendarily vulgar rant towards Stone Cold Steve Austin, Vince McMahon and the entire organisation, WWE Champion Sycho Sid was only too happy breathe in the fumes as he returned to ringside to recommence hostilities with 'The Hitman'.

Sid would later gain early viral infamy in wrestling circles for a WCW Nitro comeback-gone wrong, but he dished out an almost-as-brilliant teaser years earlier in The War Zone. Long before he told Scott Hall and Kevin Nash that he had "half the brain [they] do", the iconic imbecile wailed similar silliness in Bret's direction.

Hart professed that "everybody knew" he was being screwed, but Sid disagreed. "I don't know sh*t, crybaby!" emerged from the 'master and ruler of the world' as he himself emerged for the show-closing conflict.

Thanks to over-scripting and a noticeable lack of instinct in those too scared to colour outside the lines on WWE television, 2018's main roster is full of performers who sound completely idiotic on an almost weekly basis. At least in Sid's case, he came up with the dialogue all by himself and made them hilariously memorable.
