Issues on the microphone: Sid often flubs his lines, and once famously told Kevin Nash "Everyone knows I have HALF the brains that you do!" An amused but discombobulated Kevin Nash could only shake his head and laugh.

Sid Vicious is one of the most controversial, complicated, and memorable wrestlers of all time. On one hand, he seems very generous with his time and resources. He works with mentally handicapped people and even allowed a fan to accompany him to ringside on WCW Nitro. He also allowed Booker T and brother Stevie Ray to stay at his house, rent-free, for six months while they tried to break into WCW.

But Sid is also the man known for meltdowns backstage, and getting into a violent fight with Arn Anderson that left him with a punctured lung. Sid always had a great look, even if he wasn't a fantastic wrestler. He is known for making mistakes on the microphone--breaking character mid-sentence to apologize to the fans--and often seems to ramble.

Then there was the time he wanted a do-over on live television.
