In a recent interview on Prime Time with Sean Mooney, Sycho Sid opened up about what he considers to be the biggest misstep of his wrestling career. The former WWE Champion expressed regret over his decision to sign with WCW instead of WWE in the early 90s.
Reflecting on his choice, Sid admitted, “I made my mind up to f**king take that chance. And 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 candid remarks shed light on the financial aspect of his decision and the impact it had on his career trajectory. While he did earn a respectable sum for WrestleMania, it paled in comparison to what he could have potentially earned in WWE.
It’s worth noting that Sid’s sentiments align with the sentiment of many other wrestlers who have made similar career choices. The allure of a higher paycheck can sometimes cloud one’s judgment, leading to regrets down the line.
During his time in WCW, Sid did achieve notable success, including winning the WCW World Heavyweight Championship twice. However, it’s evident that he believes his financial situation could have been much better had he chosen differently.
It’s always fascinating to hear wrestlers reflect on their careers and share their thoughts on pivotal moments. Sid’s honesty in acknowledging his mistake allows fans to gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and decisions wrestlers face behind the scenes.
As wrestling fans, it’s important to remember that these athletes are not only performers but also human beings who make choices that can impact their lives both personally and professionally.
