In a recent interview on the podcast “Prime Time with Sean Mooney,” former WWE Champion Sycho Sid opened up about what he considers to be the biggest mistake of his wrestling career. Sid expressed regret over his decision to sign with WCW instead of WWE in the early 90s.
According to Sid, he made up his mind to take a chance and join WCW, but looking back, he believes it was a significant error. Despite making good money, including $150,000 for WrestleMania, he acknowledges that he never reached the same level of financial success as he would have in WWE.
When reflecting on his career, Sid stated, “It was a big mistake, I never made that kind of money [in WWE]. I made $150,000 for WrestleMania. I made good money, I don’t think I made $750,000. Still, it was a big mistake, when I look back on it, it was the only real mistake I made in the business.”
Sid’s revelation offers a unique perspective into the career decisions made by professional wrestlers and the impact those choices can have on their financial success. While Sid may have found success and good pay in WCW, he believes that he missed out on even greater opportunities in WWE.
Wrestling fans and industry insiders alike can learn from Sid’s experience and the importance of carefully considering career moves. The wrestling business is full of risks and rewards, and sometimes, what may seem like the right decision at the time can turn out to be a major regret.
