8 Wrestlers Who Went Nuts Overseas
6. Sid & Arn's Scissored Isle
'Sycho' Sid was the nickname that ultimately lead the charismatic Arkansas star to WWE glory, but it was a rib long before the 6'8 behemoth accepted as a term of subversive affection.
Sid's whisper-shout promo style had always relied on his most maniacal alter-ego escaping, but it was arrogance that triggered a bloody scene with WCW stalwart Arn Anderson during the company's 1993 UK tour.
Drinking in a Blackburn hotel, the crew were forced to separate Arn and Sid after the latter implied that nobody was drawing with the former's old friend Ric Flair on top. Fellow wrestlers initially calmed down the dispute after beers and verbal barbs were thrown, but the situation worsened as the majority retired to their rooms.
Unable to let it lie, Sid knocked on for Arn in an attempt to knock him out. After a pair of scissors were somehow introduced, Sid took to stabbing Anderson repeatedly enough for him to allegedly exclaim "You're killing me".
'Double A' thankfully made a recovery, but not without the dust-up making national news in the United Kingdom and back home. Sid - then booked to defeat Vader for the WCW Heavyweight Title at Starrcade - was fired. Of all people, Ric Flair took his place.
