Sid Eudy, pictured right, bounced between the WWF and WCW in the 90's ... sucking everywhere he went. He ended up WWF champion mostly because he was a huge guy in the right place at the right time. Vince McMahon was in a quandary in late 96 to early 97. Shawn Michaels hadn't worked out as champion, leaving the chairman reeling at what to do. The result was that Sid ended up the benefactor of two title reigns and a Wrestlemania main event. We have already touched on the Wrestlemania 13 main event with Undertaker, a stupendously low buyrate of 237,000. Again, it is the lowest Mania draw of all time. Sid as Champion was as much if not more to blame than Undertaker. His other championship defense earlier that year, against Shawn Michaels at Royal Rumble was equally disastrous. The buyrate came in at 244,000. That was down from the year previous, and a Rumble hasn't performed that badly since. Sid ultimately ended up champion again because Michaels didn't want to lose to Bret Hart at Wrestlemania, causing a huge booking mess. The big man went on to show more underwhelming box office hits with WCW in the dying days of the Atlanta brand. The summary is clear - he couldn't draw a dime.
