This is so huge. I'm sure this will be discussed on his podcast soon, but Booker always talked about how Sid gave him and Stevie their break in WCW. This cutting promos on the way to the ring is something that Booker preached and said Sid taught him too. When they give you any amount of TV time, maximize it. Work your character/gimmick during the entrance since they won't give you a mic. Go watch Harlem Heats entrance and they do the exact same thing and have some great one liners as well.

Much love to Sycho Sid, who also scared the hell out of the 7-year-old HBK diehard back in the day. Always appreciated his work and his knowledge is something still being passed down to this day. It's truly a crime that this man wasn't in the Hall of Fame YEARS ago.
 
Seems like they would just kinda bury him a bit on middle of all their promotional stuff on socials. Had a couple of good matchups but wrestled a bunch of bums too. Didn’t really feel as important as he should’ve.

Interested to see if he gets it back at the Washington show.

Almost felt like they transitioned championed him.

Agreed..Seen a couple folks compare his run to Big E’s and that seems about right to me..These bookers gotta do better by their black & Asian talent..Giving them title/tourney victories don’t mean anything if you treat them as afterthoughts as soon as their hands get raised..Swerve deserved better..
 
I think they could've done more to showcase him. Felt like The Elite storyline was overshadowing most of his run. Hopefully he gets a more solid run at the top the next go around.

Also, RIP Sid

Not The Elite per se but Da Hangmin's coming byke and swearing revenge has been looming over his title reign the last couple of months. Understandably so given what Swerve did to him and his baby. :lol: :smh:

He can always fall byke and say that Hangmin's distraction cost him the match at ALL IN. He's gonna have to resolve that then maybe he gets a rematch and regains IT at WrestleDream.

Outside of maybe TTS you can argue that the title reigns of the champions across both companies has been "meh"

Da Codeman - been in random title matches for most of his reign like Trips been spamming Universe mode. They circled byke to the Bloodline feud albeit the Temu version but that was more so to create an avenue for THOTT's return

Bad Pam - was basically treading water as champ. Could've had her go against Baby Girl with her still feeling some type of way about the torment she suffered from Bad Pam and Damage CTRL

Damien Toretto - his reign was more so building to the dissolution of the OG Judgment Day

Liv - focus has been more on her soap opera "cinema" with Dirty Dom

Swerve - similar to Da Codeman in that he was in random feuds where there was no real jeopardy. That only came in his last two matches with BRUV and #OurLegend

Mercedes - has solid matches with Willow bae and Stephanie Vaquer but her ALL IN match with DMD Punk was mid at best

Okada - has been in more backstage segments (while entertaining) than defending the Continental championship

Interested in seeing how TK and Trips books da Aberdeen Dragon and GOONTA respectively.
