You're over thinking it.
People loved the heel Sid character and cheered him as a result. A babyface Sid would have been awful.
Sid did well almost everywhere he went. He was over. He got reactions. Getting lost in the minutiae of are they ones he was supposed to get is kind of pointless.
That'd be like knocking Kurt Angle's first heel gimmick, or like knocking Rocky Mavia turning into the people's champ.
Nice job, Titus. May want to use fewer or smaller pics next time. And include some Seth Rollins Twitter talk.

I DON'T REACT MCMAHON, I REACT WITH ACTION
That's incredibly arrogant. Go ahead, tell me more gimmicks that I'm not allowed to like, and why I don't really think they worked. Obviously you know better than I do.
Jokes aside, Sid was liked because of his look. He has THE wrestler look. He wasn't a cool heel like Razor. He wasn't a monster that people wanted to be like Vader. He was just 'the look.' It was evident even by the face that he was super over in his first babyface run in the WWF when he was Hogan's chum.
The whole reason he was gone from WWF the first time and pissed Vince off was that Vince offered him THE spot and Sid wanted to be a heel. Vince wanted to give him everything, and Sid lost a bunch of money because he thought he HAD to be a heel.

Of the list, I absolutely think Sid could have replaced Hogan. That's why I thought Sid was beyond stupid(shocking) for turning it down to play a heel. Sid could have been WAY bigger than he was. He would have been perfect under Vince. He was a total goof, but people liked that. And he had the size AND the build which none of those other guys had.

Oooh! I may have to check that out.

I had no problem with the Paige bit, except for the execution implying she only wears her gear and that she doesn't shower at the hotel. It was a nice change of pace from the usual backstage skit, which is just an ambush or a staredown.
It would work just as well for the guys, too. Good cartoon.

Barrett's face in that comic is cracking me up, he's just so damn pleased with his nefarious plan of clothes theft.

E-Feds have more people on their rosters.

This doesn't remotely apply here. I just thought it was weird that you were calling someone a terrible heel *because they got cheered*. Loads of really good heels have been cheered. When that was happening to Sid it was right around the start of the attitude era and Sid wasn't exactly the only heel starting to get cheered... you know?
Well, that was a different time and a different place. A babyface in 96 was not being received like a babyface in 92. Things changed pretty fast there.
One thing no one will ever argue is that Sid was smart.
The members of Slipknot are not people.

I just went to their website and finally saw the "closet" that people kept mentioning the announcers were in. It's pretty sad that TNA isn't willing to build a set for their announce team. reusing pieces of old sets like spin cycle or where they used to interview people would be way better. It looks significantly lower budget than a number of youtube channels.
Edit: Just watched one of their unlocked videos and they don't have a set for that show either.
Freudian psychology.

loved chyna's amazon cher look at X7.
Think that was around the time she split the leather pants she was wearing on some award show? She was just a really cool celeb personality in that era. Really a fuckin' shame.

I will maintain that Chyna in her prime was an absolute WOULD and I wouldn't be surprised if her continued plastic surgery was a result of some body shaming back in the day

could never
Would be my new favorite Royal Rumble moment if he were to make a surprise entrant.

I certainly don't need to see Shane wrestle ever again, but I'd love him back for storylines.
edit: not that he wasn't awesome! but because he's getting on, and he was never a full time worker.

Weird how the Owen/Bulldog feud was pushed as being around the European title when they were clearly at odds beforehand

when i was little i thought it was cool that chyna was wrestling with guys sometimes and she won the IC title at some point right?
i mean i know, women and men competing in a fight is pretty fucked up in real life, but in wrestling i thought it was a cool thing to have her be doing that. a lot of people seem really disgusted with her like these OSW guys.

I really like Daniel Bryan matches and I want to like his promos but he just embodies too much of what I can't stand and never want to be like. I think that's my big problem. I talked before about me liking big galoot lunkhead dudes because that's what I wanna BE. Bryan is someone I -never- wanna be, so that's part of what puts me off from him. Love watching him work, though, no matter what promotion.
