True: Sid Vicious put a squirrel in his pants and was then bitten where no one wants to be bitten

Despite portraying a 'psychopath' character in wrestling, Sid Vicious is actually one of the kinder, gentler men in the wrestling business (his altercation with Arn Anderson notwithstanding). He has been active in charity work, gave Harlem Heat a place to live while they tried to break into the wrestling business, and has a soft spot for small animals.

Sid often brought a pet squirrel on the road with him. When a group of wrestlers dared him to put the squirrel in his wrestling trunks, Sid obliged--and was promptly bitten in the exact place no one wants to be bitten.
