The unforgettable debut of The Shockmaster

The Shockmaster makes his legendary - and infamous - debut at WCW Clash of the Champions XXIV.

Sid's acting before the Shockmaster is B level movie quality.
Sid's acting after the Shockmaster entrance is Academy award worthy.

A diamond studded stormtrooper helmet, the wardrobe of Glenn Hughes from the Village People, the body of Eric Cartman, and the voice of Dr. Claw. Showtime.

Sid deserves a spot in the Hall of Fame just for not breaking character during this promo.

EDIT: RIP Sid Eudy, aka Sid Vicious, aka Sycho Sid.

Rest in peace Sid Thank you for making this moment even better than it already was

[stickboy]

I appreciate Sid's effort to salvage this.

He did "shock" the world, 25+ years later we're still talking about him.

[dooleh]

He lived up to his name, he shocked everyone with that entrance. Even his voice couldn't believe it.

[ZealKingdom]

The saddest part of this is, had everything gone exactly the way it was originally planned, it still would have been the most ridiculous fustercluck of all time.

The lesson here: Without the massive botch, no one ever remembers The Shockmaster. Sometimes screwing up makes you a Legend.

One small step for Shockmaster, one giant leap for wrestling.

[artunchi]

RIP Sid, You tried your best to save this moment and you were awesome for that

[heelmoxley]

Moments like this explain why I will love pro wrestling till the day I die.

[INeverWanted]

He looks like what happens when you hit "randomize" on your custom avatar.

[doolindanger]

Sid should have won an Emmy award for his performance. He kept a straight face and his intensity didn't fade. Seriously. His composure was remarkable.

[ryansmith]

Anyone here watching this since Sid passed away today ? I immediately thought about how he no sold the hilarity of it all. Nothing short of amazing. RIP SID VICIOUS !

This was such a high quality production. They bought a Star Wars mask and sprayed it with glitter. And his robe attire looks like they bought it at a Halloween store on clearance. Very nicely done!

[woreer]

The fact you can hear the guy who was dubbing the shockmasters voice laugh before he starts talking just makes it the better.

[joshs]

Gratefully, Sid broke what was one of the most awkward silences of all time.

[bnkertns]

Everything about it is just perfect. The fall and helmet coming off almost immediately. The apparent 2 minutes they put into figuring out what to dress this guy in. Davey Boy talking about him falling on his arse. Booker asking “who is this mfer?”. The cardboard Flair cutout. The freaking voice lol. Also I don’t know why but the “you want a piece of me?” in that voice gets me every single time. Just perfection.

I love how Shockmaster starts doing his hand gestures when Sid screams at him, thinking they're his lines. One disaster after another.
