Thanks to a friend of mine finally cleaning out his garage, I was given a bunch of old VHS tapes including this one that was one of the third "WCW Superstar Series" that WCW started releasing around late 1999 that ran around an hour long. Sid was in character here as he hosted this tape which covered his 3 months in his 1999 return to WCW. The various highlights of this tape include his association with Team Madness from return at the Great American Bash to helping Randy Savage win the WCW Title at the Great American Bash, his alliance with Rick Steiner, his win over Sting at Road Wild with Sid commenting on how important that victory was, the night he dominated Nitro to get a shot at Hogan's World Title, declaring himself the "Millennium Man" & beginning of his winning steak, his U.S. title victory over Chris Benoit, and the beginning of his buildup to his showdown against Goldberg.

Now this project comes of as heavily rushed as Sid was only in WCW for 3 months at this time so they didn't have much material to work with while completely ignoring his previous runs in WCW (Skyscrapers tag team & member of Horsemen) past stating that coming back to WCW was like "coming home." with the exception of maybe 2 matches, none of these highlights have been released onto DVD in full & I honestly don't expect any of them to since Sid never turned out to be the big star he was pushed to be by both WCW or WWE so if your a fan of Sid Vicious then this is something to look for but if you aren't then you can easily pass this.

Great video! As another viewer has already said, there should have been more. I can't find any other videos with Sid like this one. He's one of my favorite wrestlers. I just ordered a shoot interview of him off of RF video. I don't know what it's like yet, but I'm sure it'll be good.

For all of you who have wondered what Sid may be like when he's out of character and not being either "Sycho" or "Vicious," buy this video. The whole video is full of great footage of Sid in action in the ring, and liberally peppered with comments and opinions from Sid-on himself, wrestling in general and a few other big Personalities. My only real complaint about this video is that it left me wanting more, where there is really no more to be found. This video seems to be one of a kind, as far as Sid goes. I wish there had been another hour full of him. He's been a favorite of mine for years.
A great buy!

This was just a great video! Sid is awesome and the footage was outstanding! I give it 5 stars!

I have every WCW superstar series video and this is one of the best. Sid's highlights from Great American Bash 99 where he made his memorable comeback to WCW,up to Fall Brawl where he wrestled Chris Benoit for the US strap.Buy this video! I liked most of the WCW superstar series videos except nWo 4-life.
